They want us fearing a fascist takeover when the fascism is already here.

[Thia is with … 😏✌️💋🔥 @ThiaBallerina]

YouTube is demonetizing accounts that report on Israel.
X will suspend you for saying FTRTTS.
FB is banning the word zionism.

What's it called again when the government tells you what you can or cannot say, and social media platforms enforce it?

[Oliver Larkin @OliverALarkin]

This is ethnic cleansing.

Trump & his allies (Ashley Moody) want to ethnically cleanse the U.S. of any group that does not fit their white Christian nationalist vision.

It doesn’t stop with immigrants.

Case in point: JD Vance calling for @AngieNixon to leave America yesterday.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

“The war in Gaza” is actually “the Genocide in Gaza”

“Settlers” is actually “terrorist invaders.”

“The war in Lebanon” is actually “the Genocide in Lebanon”

“A safe zone" is actually "occupation.”

“Collateral damage and human shields” is actually “murder children and innocent civilians”

“The not war in Iran” is actually “the illegal war in Iran”

“The heightened tensions with Cuba” is actually “the unilateral U.S. aggression against Cuba”

“Arresting Venezuelan President” is actually “kidnapping Venezuelan President.”

The media uses euphemisms to control the narrative. The media is complicit

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

I mean, what can you say? The guy literally said his job is to keep the left "pro-Israel". Also pro-corporate. Dems have always had more disdain for the actual left than they do for Republicans.

[B L A K E L E Y™℠©® LLC @_iamblakeley]

Exactly this. He's alienating people who have supported him from the beginning (like me) to placate deranged zionists who will never accept anything less than total acquiescence and then still call him a jihadist.

[Rathbone @_rathbone]

Trying to appease and placate zionists only makes them go at you harder. It will never be good enough. You can’t show weakness. Zohran is losing his supporters in an effort to pander to zionists who will betray him in the end too. This goose is cooked.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

the people who did this walk among us. we are rehabilitating those in the biden admin who facilitated this already. the trump admin is continuing it. the triggermen get to roam our streets and those who demand accountability for this heinous crime are treated like criminals.

[Greg Stoker @gregjstoker]

Cornell banning pro-palestine students and wrist-slapping r*pists is NOT a double standard. It is THE standard.

This story is many people’s first introduction to the imperialism/r*ape framework in post-colonial theory established by thinkers like Edward Said and Gayatri Spivak. Institutions and administrators who uphold and normalize this behavior abroad on a global level have very likely engaged in the violation of people’s sovereignty and autonomy in their own personal lives.

Accountability on any level could take down the whole edifice.

"She was going to a frat house, she knew what she was going to get."

Oh yeah?

If that's what frat houses are for, close them all entirely, immediately.

@SocialistMMA Lol Saw this somewhere: Republicans: openly fascist, secretly gay. Democrats: openly gay, secretly fascist

⚠️ Excerpt from the letter of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran to the people of America

It is you, the Americans, to change this unfortunate fate. Separate yourselves from the occupiers of Palestine, who will inevitably have to leave and return to their countries... [and then] We can coexist peacefully.

The people of the world are waking up [to the truth]. The era of plundering the wealth of nations through force is over. Continuing this inhumane path will lead to a painful fate for America, a fate that will be much harder for the oppressor than it will be for the oppressed.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

If pensioners are TOO RICH and they need to be taxed, you don't cut State Pension which hits the poorest pensioners.

You make them pay NI and equalise Capital Gains and Dividends tax with Income Tax + NI.

Of course that ACTUALLY would hit the rich so they won't do that.

[brian @awesombrian]

Fuck all these people and institutions. This is such depraved cruelty.

[Katie Rogers @katierogers]

“Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” The judge asked.

“I don’t know,” Angel, 13, replied before bursting into tears. He stared ahead stoically and continued to cry, eventually saying: “I have no one. I have nothing.”

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

we cannot allow this evil to continue.

“They gang raped a woman but we can’t expel them as they have promising futures.”

This is exactly why a rapist became president.

[chimera @chimeraxmachina]

Love that our oligarchs get to talk like poorly written anime villains while the rest of us get yelled at for suggesting the system that keeps them in power isn't all that great.

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

Call me crazy but making the decision to drug and torture someone for 7 hours should absolutely be met with life-altering consequences.

[Dr. NSPM-7 Whoa ☭🔻🌺 @dasmadchengyal]

these are wealthy kids with the best education in the US. it's not a socioeconomic problem. y'all are raising rapists & pedophiles because you don't hold men & boys accountable for their fucked up jokes & opinions about women & girls.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Trump is sending a clear message by cutting off student loans for “degrees that don’t make enough money”:

Forget about pursuing your dreams or following your passions. The only thing that matters in our society is profit.

They really just want us to spend our entire lives working to make corporations richer, and most Americans go along with it, never demanding anything better.

Greed truly is the root of all evil and why our country will eventually collapse under the weight of its own contradictions.

[Commie Trucker @commie_trucker]

I support Hamas. I’ve never said otherwise. I will always support occupied people’s right to resist their occupiers.

[Daisy @DaizyZeeX]

Someone told me I shouldn’t help spread pictures of the Cornell 7 guys, because it might destroy their lives.

Sweetie, that’s what I’m counting on.
