This is footage of ICE handcuffing a 26 year old father after murdering him in broad daylight. We cannot look away. Abolish ICE. Abolish qualified immunity. Hold these murderous thugs accountable.

I think Jamelle is suggesting that we build new things everywhere so we’ll have less movement of people chasing things they want/need.

Didn’t Ezra Levin say directly at one point that the goal of No Kings was to get people used to protesting so they could be mobilized quickly in a break-glass situation? I don’t have a source, but I distinctly remember hearing this.

That’s what gets me about this. They say that voting is pointless because the system is rigged against socialists. Then a socialist wins an election. Then they insult the people who voted for him. Why are these people constantly miserable?

Come on now, it isn’t any worse than standing right next to your refrigerator, except the entire neighborhood is your refrigerator and the only escape is selling your house.

I didn’t read Ken’s article (didn’t want to), but the “smoothgroin” thing gave me the same vibes. Platner has established himself both through words and actions as a violent misogynist, and for Ken to praise him for not being a “smoothgroin” feels like praising him for being capable of rape.

It doesn’t “resemble” a Nazi symbol, it IS a Nazi symbol. He had an unambiguous, historically accurate Totenkopf for almost two decades. Saying it “resembled” the Nazi symbol is not even in keeping with his own lie that he didn’t know what it was when he got it. What kind of hack journalism is this?

Even if you think that violent revolution is the only way out of this, you still need to show up to vote. Trump stealing or trying to cancel an election is the most likely catalyst for revolution.

Yes, it’s terrible that we have only one sane party in the US, why are Platner supporters trying to make it zero?!

Remember when “not all Trump supporters are racists, but all Trump supporters have shown they’re okay with racism” was a thing? Anyway that but with Platner, and reminder that it turned out all Trump supporters were in fact racists.

It still boggles my mind that these billionaires can just say these things in public, seemingly without a hint of shame. How do you see an orange man in a diaper rolling around drooling on himself and say “more mature”? Other people can hear you, Jeff. I would die of embarrassment.

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

Dude, what? I like AOC. I want her to run. I intend to vote for her if she does. Yes, I wish she had 10 or 20 more years of experience and had chaired a committee and done more work on the international stage, but I still support her for president. Why are you swearing?

I wish she had more experience, but she’s the only one consistently saying everything I want to hear from a 2028 presidential candidate.

I have this pet theory that voters were fooled by his greasy charm simply because most people have never dealt with a New York real estate mogul before. Politicians lie, but Trump lied to them in *a different way.* They had no inoculation to his particular style of manipulation.

It does seem to me that his real base is only about 25% of the population, since that’s the percentage of people who say they “strongly” approve of him and who back his stupidest plans before he formally announces them.

Yes, I don’t understand the logic of “the billionaires will want the government to protect us from them even though the billionaires are already trying to stop the government from protecting us from them.”

Not to mention that “America” comes from the name of Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer. It’s not exactly decolonizing the world to demand that hundreds of millions of people across two continents call themselves by the name of one European guy who died 500 years ago.

Doesn’t seem to be, but isn’t that beside the point? The OP is explicitly about CENTCOM. The Caribbean is overseen by SOUTHCOM. There’s nothing wrong with pointing that out. Knowing stuff is cool! We can just learn things and move on with our lives.

No, the person you were responding to was pointing out, accurately, that CENTCOM doesn’t operate in the Caribbean.

Sitting on our asses lets him win by default. If he’s willing to steal the election, we have to FORCE him to do it. We have to FORCE him to take politically damaging action that will destroy his legitimacy. That’s how you kick off a revolution. Do not surrender your right to vote! 2/2

If he’s going to require voter ID, we show up with our IDs and make him lose anyway. If he’s going to deploy ICE, we walk past them and make him lose anyway. If he thinks he can cancel elections, for which there is no mechanism, we continue to hold elections and make him lose anyway. 1/2

So your brilliant strategy is to convince all the young, healthy people who are capable of fighting back that all hope is lost and they’re fools to believe that a better world is possible.

So if he says that elections are canceled, you’re just going to comply and stay at home? Because here’s what I’m going to do: vote anyway.

Fox also didn’t start supporting Trump until after he won the 2016 primary. They flip-flopped because they knew they had to. They’ve always tried to subtly direct both the party and the electorate, and they’re subtle on purpose because they don’t want you to notice what they’re doing.

Cats in Pants @catsinpants.bsky.social · 24/03/2026
I’m sure some of the people at Fox are true believers, but it’s not true that the network unilaterally supports him or doesn’t try to control him. Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, and Brian Kilmeade were all texting Mark Meadows on J6 asking him to tell Trump to call off the insurrectionists.

What drives me crazy is that I already know the Platnerites will never apologize, no matter what. “I didn’t vote for this, this isn’t what he said on the campaign trail, we had two bad options, the Dems should have found a better candidate, I voted for the lesser evil,” etc. Just like Trump voters.

Right, if Trump says elections are canceled, the correct response is to VOTE ANYWAY.

Thank you! Mainers are so inconsistent on this point. They don’t like outsiders commenting on Platner, but their reason for supporting him isn’t “he’ll do X, Y, and Z for Maine,” but rather “he’ll do X, Y, and Z for *the country.*” They know this affects everyone and don’t understand why we care!

I believe there’s a 24/7 occupation of DC already if you want to join that. The question is whether you’re able to drop everything to camp in front of the White House with a small group of strangers indefinitely, and if it’s the biggest bang for your buck when there are so many ways to resist. 4/4

Unsolicited advice, but: fighting fascism is a marathon, not a sprint. If all you think about is some big, revolutionary moment, you will drive yourself crazy waiting. Better to ask, “What can I do *today* to facilitate change?” and then do that thing. 3/4

What I’m doing now is spending an hour+ reading news every day, protesting regularly, donating to mutual aids, phone banking, and learning as much as possible about revolutionary movements around the world, as well as trying to maintain my mental health, because you can’t pour from an empty cup. 2/4

I don’t believe I am waiting, at least not by choice. I just don’t think I have the power, individually, to overthrow the government. If Amerimaidan happened tomorrow, I’d be on a plane tonight. 1/4

Well, the best thing would have been for everyone to vote Harris in 2028, but back then even my DACA friends were saying, “Who cares about Trump? He didn’t do anything bad last time.” 🤦‍♀️ It’s frustrating waiting for the momentum to shift, but when it does, it can be unstoppable.

locking Dems out of the Capitol, or refusing to leave in 2029. Personally, I think it’d be best for us to focus right now on winning at least one chamber of Congress. The inciting incident will happen eventually. Revolution has to be a grassroots movement of people acting of their own accord. 2/2

I agree with this, but I don’t think it will happen because someone with a big platform calls for it, I think it will happen organically when the regime is on the brink of losing power and does something insane to retain control. For example, trying to toss the results of the midterms and 1/2

But still not enough people are talking about the extremely concerning comment she makes about social services in the video. “That’s thousands of dollars back in people’s pockets. It will help them not need social supports and social programs.” That is a MASSIVE red flag!
