Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast): Trump just posted his new ad for a second Trump term that says he will create a “UNIFIED REICH,” In all my years of academic work and countering the far right I honestly never thought we would get the point Trump would be posting Nazi propaganda this open and chilling. This is a threat.

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social @bencollins.bsky.social this is something really important. Normally I wouldn’t tag y’all but…

Oh. Great.

Yeah.. I’m kinda at the point where people need to have some very real conversations about their own safety and the safety of the communities they are in. This kind of language really only emboldens people.

My folks have already heard about it so it’s hit internet exit Velo much faster than usual at least.

Beautiful 20 degree launch angle

@mattbinder.bsky.social - fyi

This is fucking chilling. Holy shit

How’s @theonion.com gonna top this?

what the actual fuck

Yeah I don’t really know what to tell people anymore. The incoherence is growing and the ability to push this kind of language back is quite hard the longer we wait to act. We are in real danger here.

I am in despair because I don't think I will make it to the end of 2025... Especially when it is entirely out of my control what the Biden admin/campaign does.

I think we are actually able to bring the ship around but it’s going to require making tough choices and dealing with the fear and loss that may come from any choices we are forced to make.

Try to keep hope, I don't believe we're going to go down like this.

Have you guys heard of this thing called dog-tornado alarms?

Like dogwhistles but so impossibly loud you can't not hear them?

It's so awful

Feeling pretty wild out here Brooke.

Leonard shone a light on the undercurrent of the Canadian identity... our moroseness.

Well, that's a real pick-me-up, eh? heh

Did you see what Biden said too Today was a wild day for happenings

Yeah. Really not good we are gutting all forms of international rule of law and faith in democracy in advance of the people putting out Reich propaganda

And Dem lawmakers are blaming campus protests on fucking Russian disinformation!!

Yup. It’s really something else the speed at which the democrats narrative construction and deployment has collapsed. The neoliberal theater and Id Pol doesn’t work anymore and they are unable to govern without it now. Their narratives aren’t reality based so they aren’t sticky.

I 100% guarantee you that at least some of the pro-genocide protesters were riled up by Russian psyops. Oh, that's not who the congresscritters were talking about? That's weird, it seems so obvious...

Yeah and it sucked!

If this isn’t on the front page of every major paper tomorrow we should be organizing protests outside their offices for the day after.

The Times front page has a story with the headline: “Is a taco a sandwich?” But nothing on the presidential candidate posting (and refusing to delete) about creating a “unified reich.”

We should be organizing protests regardless. This should be an easy win for Dems in November, but it won't be due to the actions this admin has taken, especially in relation to Gaza and allowing the crackdown on student protests. Biden coming out against the ICC doesn't help either.

Buy and learn how to use a gun, Fellow Workers.

Yeah that's not the answer, unless you want to be killed with your own gun.

I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

False dichotomy

Well, you better start voting then.

People exist who aren't in the US, you know.

How so?

If you have your firearm used on you, you clearly didn't learn how to use it properly. The people who want me and so many whom I hold dear in my life dead carry the tool that's sole purpose is to destroy, why should I not do the same? So I can die a noble death of as a pacifist?

Yeah, OK. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles...

Might want to actually read the study you're using as proof. This study is only for Philadelphia from 03 to 06 and it says that just owning a gun isn't enough which neither of the people you're responding to just said buy a gun...

Man what a way to declare you didn't read the article you posted.

So what is the answer then? Being shot to death?

Organize with fellow community members, learn traumatic first aid. Practice, practice and more practice. Know how to properly clean your firearms

In a sane country this would be immediately disqualifying

After reading up on the Plan 25 or whatever they call it (Wikipedia), I'm not actually surprised. You guys are approaching your Nuremberg Laws moment. Good luck.

*clarification. I'm comparing the formalisation of their agendas by the fascists of 1935 (the Nuremberg Laws) with the fascists of 2025 (Project 25). This is not a reference to the similarly named but very different post war Nuremberg Trials.

"you guys"? if there comes a reckoning for this madness it will be international with a focus on colonialism, capitalism, and genocide and it can't come soon enough! so many nations, like yours, like mine, like the usa; and the European created international institutions are corrupt as can be.

Also, it’s laughable to think that if you’re outside the US, you will be safe from us if we fall the fascism. Nowhere will be safe and America will use its might to make sure people know it intimately.
