Genuinely the guy is like "yeah, some settler gangs kidnapped me, but let's still send the state more bombs and interceptors". This shouldn't be hard to outflank!

Hasan asks if he is for or against an embargo against Israel. Khanna says he wants to sanction individuals in the Israeli government but says a full embargo & sanctions on Israel (a nation committing apartheid & genocide) is going "too far"

Below is part of another post by @fullslack_

Genuinely shocked nobody is talking about how Ro Khanna told Hasan today that an embargo & sanction on all arms sales to Israel (an ethnostate that has openly been committing genocide for 2+ years & apartheid for over 70 years) was "going too far".

Screenshot of a post from Nancy Armour. Nancy's post reads: "The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won't be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant"

Nancy's post includes a screenshot of an article by Juliet Macur. The article screenshot reads: "A pressing question now is how sports officials will determine if competitors are girls and women, as defined by the opinion. While gender verification testing - a long-vilified and intrusive practice has resumed at the Olympic level, how will grade schools, middle schools and high schools conduct those tests? And will everyone be tested, or just the athletes who draw suspicion?"

Gahtdamn. What an essay

Screenshot from the linked/quoted essay. Screenshot reads: "Rationalization of the New Left is often taken to be “unserious,” but it is unserious to object to it on purely moral grounds with one hand while waving away the unfathomable scale of American violence with the other. One may of course oppose oneself to bloodshed in all cases. But it is not serious to swim in a sea of blood and faint at the addition of another drop.

If you are reading this, sweaty with the worry that I am “normalizing” or “justifying” political violence, consider that I am only asking why you find so many forms of political violence so normal, so justifiable, so adequately met with well, it’s a shame, of course, while the specter of old radicals looms like a nightmare. Sometimes you must stand athwart history, yelling Are you fucking serious? Is it only that you get used to that stench of American life after a while? Is it worth it?"

In honor of the Spurs/Knicks Finals... Post a pic of you from 1999.... if you weren't born yet, keep scrolling..... Most photos of me in '99 are across the country so y'all get this photo of a polaroid that I happened to have available 😂

Pic of a polaroid taken during a friend's NYE 1999 sleepover. Young me (I was 11) and 4 friends are all wrapped up in our sleeping bags. One girl has a stuffed animal dog in her lap. I have a black sleeping bag & black hair pulled back in a ponytail so it kind of looks like my face is just floating in the air. On the bottom of the polaroid I wrote "[names of friends] & I at [host friend's name]'s New Year's party, 1999/200" (yes I apparently forgot the third zero when I wrote it lol). I marked out my friend's faces and their names for posting this.

A gray cat laying sideways on a lap, with his belly facing the camera. His front paws are held near his belly, one of his back feet are up so you can see the toe beans. His tail is curled forward towards the camera. He is adorable, and lived 2.5 times longer than the confederacy

Spectacular sunset over Barcelona tonight

Photo of a sunset from high up (12th floor of a hotel), looking out over a city. The sky is fiery with shades of red-orange and yellow. There are tall buildings in the mid ground of the photo, they are almost in silhouette. Far in the background mountains can be seen on the horizon up against the colors of the sunset

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

A floofy black cat is laying on her side, with the sun shining on her belly. Her head is towards the viewer, and she is looking at the camera. She has yellow irises and her pupils are contracted to slits. In my biased opinion, she is very adorable.

The only SOTU recap you really need

Screenshot of a section of text in the linked McSweeney's article:
"9:45 PM: The US Men’s Olympic Hockey Team is saluted by President Trump. He is clearly a fan of Icebreaker and Heated Rivalry, and gazes adoringly at his TBIdols. As rich, violent white men who are missing some teeth and likely have degenerative brain disease, they represent the Platonic ideal of a Trump supporter."

An absolutely unnecessary attack 😭😭

A brown person with cornrows, wearing a black T-shirt and gold chain, holds their hand above a button labeled "more violence". Their hand is held so that their index finger is pointing down, hovering right above the button, and the rest of their fingers are spread out. The person has an impish, gleeful look on their face.

Alt text: line graph showing changes in sentiment on US deportation from Jan 2025 to Jan 2026. Yellow line shows % of people who think immigration policy is on the wrong track; green line shows % who think immigration policy is heading in the right direction. OP is pointing out how, in March of 2025 when Kilmar Ábrego García was deported, the "right direction" % begins to drop from a high of 45-50%, and the "wrong track" % begins a steep rise from a low of just under 40%. Both changes continue through into Jan 2026

Words by @drstaceypatton.bsky.social

I wish folks would stop comparing America to Nazi Germany. That's a lazy-ass, evasive argument.

When folks make this argument, what they are doing is framing evil as something that's foreign, exceptional, and imported rather than something indigenous, cultivated, home grown, and structurally American. And so, Nazism becomes the ultimate benchmark of horror, and everything else is measured against it.

So by this logic, unless the U.S. is building gas chambers and death camps with the same iconography, its violence is somehow lesser, different, or not yet "that bad." This allows Americans to remain in a perpetual state of "not quite Nazi."

It also erases the fact that many of the ideas the Nazis implemented were learned from, inspired by, or legitimized through American practices. Because the ideological and material roots of what the Nazis built were already visible in the United States.

When Germany constructed its racial state, its camps, its laws of blood and purity, its systems of mass detention and legal disappearance, it was not inventing these logics from scratch. American

inventing these logics from scratch. American eugenics laws, Jim Crow segregation, lynching culture, forced sterilization, Indigenous removal, and racialized citizenship regimes were openly studied, cited, and admired by Nazi legal theorists and racial scientists. The U.S. was the world's most successful large-scale experiment in racial hierarchy enforced by law and violence. Germany learned from it.

When folks say "this is becoming Nazi Germany," they invert the historical flow of influence and turn the U.S. into a potential victim of fascism rather than one of its early laboratories. That narrative recenters white innocence and treats authoritarianism as an infection from Europe instead of a homegrown product of settler colonialism, slavery, and racial capitalism.

So if ordinary Germans in the 1930s and 40s had looked honestly at what was happening around them with the gas chambers, killing fields, racial laws, child separations, and human beings reduced to property and numbers, they could have easily pointed across the Atlantic and yelled: Americans! KKK! White supremacy! This is the same architecture of domination, just industrialized and accelerated.

The Klan had already perfected mass spectacle terror. The U.S. had already normalized racial cleansing, biological determinism, legal non-personhood, and the idea that entire populations could be managed, removed, sterilized, imprisoned, or killed for the

removed, sterilized, imprisoned, or killed for the health of the nation. Germany did not leap into barbarism. It systematized a colonial and racial logic that had been running for centuries, with America as one of its most advanced models.

That's why the Nazi comparison is so damn backwards. It casts the U.S. as a potential future version of Germany, when historically Germany was, in part, a student of America's racial order. The lineage runs from European colonialism to American slavery and Indigenous genocide to Nazi racial law and not the other way around.

The Nazi comparison also allows people, especially white liberals, to experience moral outrage without confronting their own inheritance. Nazis are safely monstrous. They are "other." They let Americans locate evil in goose-stepping uniforms and foreign accents instead of in sheriffs, school boards, immigration courts, zoning laws, policing, family separation, child cages, surveillance, and bureaucratic cruelty with polite paperwork and legal language.

ICE agents are not Nazis. They do not need to be. They are operating within a long, continuous American tradition of slave patrols, Indian removal, convict leasing, segregation, COINTELPRO, and mass incarceration. Call them what they are, which are products of an unbroken system of racial control.

products of an unbroken system of racial control.

What we are witnessing is not the collapse of American democracy into something alien and evil, it is the tightening of all the evil-ass fucked up logics that have always been here. Right here!
