You can scream from the rooftops that the Imperium of Man are not the good guys (because 40k does not have any good guys) and those dudes are structurally incapable of grasping it

I've been in a consistent Star Trek Adventures TTRPG group for about 6 years and I sent this to my GM just because someone else needed the same type of psychic damage I took

the fucked part is that he does put it into his books, because he is a human person with an agenda, because everything ever written in this history of forever has an agenda

he's just too fucking willfully ignorant to be self-aware about it. a turd between ears churning out vacuous slop

my main concern with graham platner isn't that he's actually a devout nazi but that he's the sort of ideology-free populist who can't be trusted

i feel like saying "unhinged behavior for a sitting president" these days has about the same tenor as saying you'd like a ham sandwich for lunch

Poem in the Shape of the Poet Beating Henry Kissinger to Death with Their Bare Hands by Felix

brief reminder from one of his begrudging constituents: thomas massie is meeting an extraordinarily low bar here, but he is not your friend and you shouldn't expect much more than this from him in terms of "positions that are not morally reprehensible on their face"

Funny Games. Single most uncomfortable movie I have ever watched, bar none, it's not close.

I get the point, the point is made, I have thought all my thoughts on the subject, I'm glad it was made, and I never want to see it again.

this game is severely underappreciated - if you like mecha or rhythm games (even passively. or you're like, curious), pick it up.

actually just pick it up, you'll probably enjoy it

one of the lesser-mentioned but still deeply annoying things about the whole epstein fiasco is that anytime you mention a true fact that he actually, verifiably did, you sound like your next sentence is going to be spouting off about how chemtrail vaccines did 9/11

Marimar Martinez, shot by Border Patrol in Chicago, speaks out after Good, Pretti deaths: 'I am their voice' In a wide-ranging interview with the Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ, Martinez discusses her shooting, the federal government’s failed attempt to prosecute her and the role she now sees for herself in a fi...

Marimar Martinez, shot 5 times by Border Patrol in Chicago, speaks out after Renee Good, Alex Pretti deaths

'I am their voice'

NEW w/ @adrianacardmag.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests

- nazgul bodycams
- morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring
- shelob will be the new point of contact

US citizen volunteers who are putting themselves out there as observers need to be aware that ICE does have statutory authority to arrest anyone for any federal crime if they witness you doing it. They also believe that 18 USC 111 makes it a crime to look at them funny, so you can do the math there

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”

The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE

i do not care one bit if this is true

i desperately want to watch a(n extremely deserving of a moral reckoning) member of the United States House of Representatives have to put out a statement insisting that she does not and has never sold shitty ditch weed

Abolish ICE is the centrist position.

ICE executed Alex Pretti. Anything else you’re told is a lie.

people gotta chill out about making normative vs. descriptive claims. it’s tedious to have to specify “of course, I do NOT support fire” if you’re talking about a house burning down.

In short, fuck this Nazi administration, fuck that loathsome Gestapo trash Tom Homan, and fuck the slobbering Nazi losers who support them.

When they announce the indictment Minnesota authorities owe it to the public to be very clear that just because the facts are on their side here the law was intentionally designed not to be. Even most very intelligent people don't know what it means to have to apply a high legal standard

"blue states should withhold federal taxes"

1. that's not how taxes work
2. many, many of us in red states are not right-wing
3. "redness" is not frozen in time
4. "individuals should suffer for the crimes of the powerful" is cruelty unbecoming of so-called progressives

tl;dr kindly shut up

my immediate thought was it reads a lot like Mussolini's Doctrine of Fascism writ (extremely) large

Again, "illegal" does not mean "impossible" and the sooner we all get that through our heads, the better. I'm still seeing way too many people reacting to ICE by saying "how can they do that?"

The topline factual description of the event overwhelms any frame-by-frame analysis. ICE agents surrounded a woman's stationary vehicle on a Minneapolis street, pointed a gun at her, and tried to yank her out. When the car moved, one of them shot her in the head.

ICE agent kills woman, DHS tells obvious, insane lies about it: defector.com/ice-agent-ki...

in these moments, in my view, it is a political and spiritual DUTY for my outrage and anger to be as fresh as if I'd never heard how they shot Fred Hampton in his bed. As fresh as if I didn't know Bobby Hutton was surrendering when they shot him. 1/2

i propose we start calling convection ovens jumbo air fryers. just for fun. just to incite a little chaos

It is not that hard to cook up violations of US law against corrupt dictators we don't like and get them past a grand jury. A federal indictment is nowhere close to enough to justify a US military invasion and orchestrated regime change, and we all need to say that together or it will be
