π¨ Israel launches strike on Iran
fuck.
U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
I don't think Discord has yet fully grasped just how much trust they just flushed down the drain, that they will never regain. Data breaches and slow intrusion of ads didn't even come close to this level of disenfranchisement.
I use @discord.com daily, Nitro subscriber. Admin in several communities, member of several dozen. Literally every single group opened the day with discussing alternatives and where to migrate to.
Yeah, probably might want to leave my handle off of there lol
So glad I got to actually watch it from the green room before we started RBR. The hype was unreal π€ TRUCKS TRUCKS TRUCKS
Fascism is simply Liberal foreign policy applied domestically.
General contractor here, also a comrade. I absolutely refuse to do any work for landlords, AirBnB's, and often turn down jobs on second homes.
Prior to the Pilgrim's arrival, King James thanked "Almighty God in his great goodness and bounty towards usβ for βthis wonderful plague among the savages."
"Roughly half the Pilgrims died during their first winter"
Prior to the Pilgrim's arrival, approximately 95% of the indigenous population of the so-called New England area had died due to diseases brought by the colonizers from Europe.
He only helped the Pilgrims because upon his return home from escaping slavery a second time, he found that his entire village had died 2 years earlier.
"Squanto helped the Pilgrims learn to grow corn and translated for them."
He was captured and enslaved at age 8 by the British and was forced to learn English, then escaped and returned home - only to be recaptured and enslaved by the Spanish, from whom he also escaped.
I don't think Target has calculated just how much the average shopper just wants to be left alone. Retail staff being performatively overly friendly is quite literally a deterrent from me stepping foot in your store.
Plot twist, the rapture already happened and nobody noticed because the only people worth taking weren't in a "first world country" built on and perpetually supported by exploitation and genocide.
Far too much time, effort and too many words are spent on distinguishing the differences between mutual aid and charity, on praising the former and condemning the latter, from people who do neither of them.
You just know Mick Gordon is quietly giggling to himself about how terrible the music in Doom: TDA sounds compared to his masterpiece...
Fuck the "Founding Father" genocidal colonists.
...all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
More funding than Russia's entire full scale military invasion of a foreign country. Triple the funding of the USMC.
In every space I've been in as a vocal Marxist and African decolonial activist, I've always noticed how it's never the poor rural rightwing types who hate me the most, it's always the educated and often high-earning and well-off liberals (especially the white ones).
I cannot think of a more obvious yet widely ignored example of Liberal white privilege, than the ability to "choose pacifism and nonviolence."
It's because to liberals, liberal democracies, and liberal corporate news media, fascism is acceptable, and Communism is not. And that's simply because fascism doesn't pose a threat to capital. Liberals and rightwing types wanna keep exploiting the working class. That's all it's about.
And this is how TERFs continue to reinforce misogyny against cis women.
MLK's version of "peaceful protesting" worked because it came in tandem with the Black Panthers, who were heavily armed and ready to defend the community.
@50501movement.bsky.social rejects all armed community defense, which means their protests aren't peaceful - they're just harmless.
Some people hate liberals because the concepts of liberation and equality offend their deepest insecurities.
I hate liberals, because they ignorantly defend and support that which materially prevents the liberation and equality, they falsely believe they champion. We are not at all the same.
Fuck 50501. An entire weekend of protests and the only 2 casualties were 2 anti-fasc immigrants who were shot by THE 50501 ORGANIZERS in SLC, who then blamed the immigrant for the death.
