SCOTUS is telling us that it has completely signed on to the project of a second Trump administration, which is establishing an elected autocracy.

Absolutely surreal watching them end American democracy, just six dipshits in a room turning us into a monarchy and legally entrenched oligarchy, incredibly hard to parse this is as reality right now

My Julian Assange story is that we got him to walk back support for Gamergate by threatening to cancel his book launch party, and then after the party he walked back his walk back. I have never forgotten the flexibility of his convictions outside the public eye.

One of my best friends is Jewish, and -- quite rationally -- wary of hard-leftist spaces for reasons such as these. For me, these people are dire embarrassments. For her, they're dangerous. Just fundamentally unreliable people who can't tell triangulation from reaching fascism by a stack overflow.
Ken Klippenstein is streaming with George Galloway. The Young Turks are hosting RFK Jr. One ex bernie spokesperson is streaming with candace owens and another is defending Nick Fuentes. Brianna Wu is hanging with lauren southern. Maybe now is the time to re-evaluate how the left chooses celebrities.

there really is a painful cycle of newly politically engaged people getting excited about revolutionary thinking, realizing it doesn’t work like that, and then either becoming cranks or normal liberals. while a lot of the annoying twitter libs were wrong about dirtbag leftists, plenty were right.

There were 16 trans youth suicides after gender affirming care restrictions were implemented in the UK in 2020 compared with only 1 in the 7 years prior. Staff at the NHS attempted to cover it up. Hilary Cass knew but minimized what was happening. This is a massive scandal. Cass lied, kids died.

It is shocking to me that I can’t find a single outlet interested in a story about people in the GOP, involved with TPUSA, and/or with direct access to Trump going to a “f off Jew, I love H*tl*r” rally.

Not what I usually use social media for, but if anyone in the GTA wants to go to the Prepare the Ground music festival next weekend for extremely discounted prices, I am selling two sets of passes! Bought ages ago and had to cancel.

In all seriousness people need to take that we are already in a coup and it’s accelerating. The courts are fractured. The republicans have fully retreated from rule of law and shared society and the democrats are asleep or worse at the wheel. Really don’t know how to say it any clearer

Thread 🧵: There have been recent reports of an American citizen "serving" in the IDF and brazenly committing war crimes. He has been positively identified as 34 year old Brooklyn/Los Angeles resident Shmuel Benchemhoun.

Benchemhoun must be held accountable for his actions. He can be reported for war crimes at: otplink.icc-cpi.int There are videos on Twitter @notwizardafa

Benchemhoun can be seen in Gaza poisoning a well, looting, destroying entire villiages, planting evidence, and abusing kidnapped Palestinians, which are considered war crimes by the Geneva convention.
