Republicans OPENLY want to kill queer people, oppress minorities, and turn the country into a christo-fascist dictatorship, but you ABSOLUTE FUCKING DUMBASSES ARE STILL ACTING LIKE THE DEMOCRATS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME, because you don't want to "compromise" your pretentious fake, holier than thou "values"
The only way to preserve democracy and protect people's lives is to vote blue, every position, every election, every year, down the ballot
To the self-righteous pricks who supposedly have liberal views and values but refuse to vote:
Fuck you, rot in hell, everything, every death, every act of tyranny, every drop of blood, is on your hands you selfish pieces of shit

If these people really think we're going to let them just install a president because a bunch of Republicans overrode the popular vote and gave their electors to the losing candidate.... they are deluded.
It ain't gonna happen. We will strike nationally. We will shut down the economy. We will take to the streets. We will riot.
Like all sociopaths they will expect everyone else to play by 'the rules' of democracy they just blatantly broke.
We won't stand for cheating. There will be civil unrest like they can't imagine.
I was prepared to do all that if Trump installed himself as king.

I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up but...
THE FBI HAS JUST SERVED A SEARCH WARRANT ON CHUMP’S TOAD HOLE IN MARALAGO!
I guess he’s not there.  He’s at bedminster or some other place but he’s losing his sh!t and that’s certainly enough of a reason to laugh but this is a REAL FBI search warrant that they did not tell anyone about, not even local law enforcement.
Tumblr media
Now I don’t think there will be charges, not immediately.   Which is fine because chump is going to be like a bloated ugly orange worm hanging on a hook.

It just bemuses me how degenerates believe in the dark, evil concept known as conservatism.
Why do they oppose our liberalistic society and call us evil, when in reality they are the ones who are evil? Liberalism is not the devil's invention.
Conservatism is the devil's invention.
To purge the devil from your mind and heart is to purge religious beliefs and family values from them both. We shall never let America be the conservative utopia any longer. It's time to fight.

So Brazil is having protests in favor of democracy (our president defends the militar ditactorship [he rly choose legalized torture as his "facist past" - a term which here means the idealized fake idea of a past used by altright and others facist leaning goverments to sell retrograde ideals and to represent the "values" that where "lost" by civil right moviments], he also is doing the whole Trump thing of implying vote fraud since he is losing in the pols and he is running for reelection this year, there are otuer detals but I can't explain it for non brazilians). And I'm at the same time sad that the small town I live in didn't had the protests and feeling proud of my country for the first time in a long time (sure when "independence day" comes and the programed pro-goverment protests start this feeling will go away but still noice).
P.S: there is nothing weirder than to see the main brazilian media outlet defending the protests while trying to sell them as apolitical, unrelated to the upcoming election and just a good neutral thing. It isn't neutral. People didn't just woke up and decided to say "hey ditactorship is bad actually", is a direct response of our president saying it isn't!!

@lilithfairen has a whole post about the asinine, misogynistic, and just plain incoherent ways a person tries to paint Robyn Hill as the one to be blamed for all that goes wrong
But there's one particular part I want to zero in on:
"Though... It's not enough for her.
Because she immediately distrusts them when they couldn't disclose anything else and her next appearance has her siding with the people trying to depose Ironwood, including her rival Jacques. Despite knowing what Ironwood is planning and why he couldn't afford to let these secrets out, she goes all in on trying to get Ironwood's secrets out in the open..."
This part right here:
"Siding with the people trying to depose ironwood"
"Depose" is such an interesting way to frame elected officials trying to enforce checks & balances and oversight on a man who ignores such concepts and holds two offices at the same time
Surprise Surprise, the ironwood bootlicking rwde crowd are disdainful of democracy, I would have never guessed that these racist and misogynistic folks had such authoritarian anti-democracy views

If we can't have the middle class, then we're not going to let anyone have the upper class! Soon enough, the hardworkers will take the rich down with them! It's time to fight to the death!

I guess Fox News haven’t learned their lesson on spreading lies or even slandering President Biden with no truth behind it. Fake news reported by Fox, real news and real talk and news reported by MeidasTouch.
Liz Cheney is on point when it comes to Trump.. he will be the destroyer of our democracy. Our democracy is in danger if we don’t put a stop to it coming 2024.. #Voteblue2024 for democracy and basic human rights

Some things you can't make up. Above I added only the arrow to the frothing MAGA zombie trying to participate in the Trump attempted coup in that screen cap.
When I watch Jan. 6 footage I see a wall of white racists foaming at the mouth
An estimated 2,000 terrorists invaded the Capitol on January 6th. About 65% of them have been nabbed so far. Three more were taken into custody in Ron DeSantis's Florida on the anniversary.
Multiple Jan. 6 fugitives arrested at Florida ranch 3 years after Capitol attack: FBI
The FBI is still seeking suspected terrorists who took part in the Capitol assault. See if you recognize any of these frothing fascists...
Capitol Violence Images — FBI
Here's recently released footage of the screeching MAGA hyenas attempting to force their way into the House chamber.

Suggested Listening: Columbia Protests (as of 4/25/24)
Alright, folks, I've seen a couple different approaches to this situation, and I think there's something to be learned from each of the below. I know some of them have a contested reputation, but all media sources have a bias and I will be including some context on those biases.
The podcasts I'm sharing are:
The Daily (New York Times)
The Take (Al Jazeera)
Democracy Now! (independent radio broadcast)
Global News Podcast (BBC Radio)
It's come up a few times on NPR as well, but not in enough detail for me to include. I will be linking Spotify, but these are all available elsewhere, though official transcripts can take several days.
The Daily - April 25th, 2024: This podcast is a production of The New York Times. The paper is left-leaning, but has a noted bias towards Israel, and has run into trouble on trans issues in the recent past. The podcast is further left, though still more cautiously moderate than something like Democracy Now; the podcast has previously been responsible for fact checks against the more biased NYT opinion pieces.*
Why you should listen to it: This episode provides the most comprehensive timeline to what has happened, in what order, and why certain actions have been taken. It is notably more sympathetic to Columbia University President Shafik than other coverage, though that may just be the natural result of explaining the current political pressures. It is still more sympathetic to the protesters than to her, but I do think this is helpful for establishing a timeline of events. It is not the only one, and I will share another below.
* That infamous article about the alleged systemic sexual violence that Hamas committed on Oct. 7th was put through a fact checker by the podcast team when it came time to do an episode about it, and the inability to substantiate it led to not only the episode being cancelled, but the article itself being (quietly) edited to note that it was not substantiated. The NYT did not handle it well, but I want to make it clear that the podcast team is independent in many respects, and while I've taken issue with some of their episodes, they often have more comprehensive coverage of certain matters.
The Take - April 25th, 2024: This is a podcast from the English-speaking branch of Al Jazeera, a Qatari news organization that, while independent, does receive a certain amount of funding from the Qatari government. By that measure, I do hesitate to place it on a left-right scale due to existing outside the Western political spectrum. As a Middle Eastern, Arab news org, Al Jazeera provides a perspective much closer to the action than others, and one that is generally much more sympathetic to Muslim and Arab voices. It is also, like the others on this list, an award-winning journal. At this time, Al Jazeera is considered one of the most reliable news sources for information on what is happening in Gaza, through their Palestinian correspondents; they have also been banned in Israel as antisemitic propaganda.
I need to make it very clear that I am not in any way denigrating it for having Qatari government funding; the BBC shares many of those factors, just British.
Why you should listen to it: Al Jazeera got a reporter into the student protest encampment in Columbia, and got more direct interviews with some of the students on the ground. This is part two of their coverage of the protests; Part One (April 24th, 2024)provides another perspective of the timeline, which focuses on different factors, generally closer to the events in Columbia than the national factors.
Democracy Now! - April 23rd, 2024: This is a far left/progressive radio broadcast (repackaged for podcast streaming) that has been running since 1996. They often have interviews with people that I haven't necessarily seen other podcasts bring in, and while I would not consider them extreme, I do sometimes find that certain details get left out in pursuit of a more black-and-white narrative.
Why you should listen to it: Cohost Juan González has been in the field of progressive journalism for a very long time, but it's more relevant than ever for this episode: González was one of the original organizers for the 1968 Columbia protests that resulted in one of the largest mass arrests in NYPD history. The 1968 protests were massive, and deeply impactful on a national scale. González's perspective on how this current protest compares to the one he helped organize nearly sixty years ago is a fascinating way to think about the current events.
Global News Podcast - April 25th, 2024: BBC is a very centrist source for journalism, funded primarily by the UK government and advertising. As such, their coverage tends to lean in favor of the current party, though they do not 'toe the party line' as such. They do regularly platform right-wing activists, but they also have correspondents in the Middle East with a more progressive perspective. I would compare them to CNN in the US; ineffective in terms of opinion, and comparatively milquetoast on that front, but capable of getting access to high-level events that smaller networks aren't.
Why you should listen to it: ...honestly, this is just a 'round it out' kind of suggestion, to get an idea of what the international community is thinking of the events at Columbia. I don't think they necessarily contribute much in terms of factual discovery, but it helps with getting the lay of the land.
