Man woman camera

the future will prevail

I don't agree with everything Gabriel writes here, but these are the sorts of questions I find pertinent given January 6th:

This is all to say that the question “How should the state correctly detain and punish participants in fascist violence?” is not the right question. The real questions are: how do we demobilize fascists? How do we disaggregate their power blocs when they attempt to use organs of state power to push their political goals? How—as organizers did in NYC on Jan. 10—do we outpace them in street mobilization so as to scare them out of their planned escalations? And, most critically, how do we defuse and transform the conditions that foster the development of fascism in the first place?

I know this will shock you Jonathan, but Trump would literally talk to us about the My Pillow guy during classified national security meetings. Apropos of nothing. It was weird. (But I do sleep on one of those pillows and they’re not terrible.)

you know I really should try one of those pillows

What happened in nyc on January 10 xpost...?

yeah i don't recall this

i’m guessing here, but a bunch of leftist actions were scheduled on the 10th as counterprotests against potential gatherings of the proud boys. the proud boys never assembled (afaict it was bc they’re scared of the cops)

it’s very inside baseball

I want to know more about the Hammer.

Yeah. Is it some kind of Thor thing?

the hammer is his penis

Mostly curious which doofus butt-kisser thought to have "TRUMP" engraved on a Thor hammer.

Probably Trump.

i was going to say that trump has no idea who thor is because he doesn't read, but i forgot that it's a major action movie franchise now, so

Maybe he doesn't know Thor at all and just wanted his name on a giant hammer, and his aides kind of looked at each other and made the call for him.

bullhorn lady thread

1/ The pink-hatted Capitol rioter known as #BullhornLady, who shouted detailed instruction to others as they invaded the building, is now among the FBI’s Most Wanted, but her identity is still not publicly known... pic.twitter.com/XZCfZMCz26

defintely not ma boebert

i love how boebert comes up a natural suspect because she's fucking bonkers it's actually possible

i was going to say that trump has no idea who thor is because he doesn't read, but i forgot that it's a major action movie franchise now, so

Cant believe a bunch Twitter accounts that follow Seth Abramson misled us on the identity of bullhorn lady.

Cheaper than I expected:

Mr. Kiriakou was separately told that Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani could help him secure a pardon for $2 million.

hope they catch Maga Nona and her magic bullhorn

No. I think the one thing trump and I have in common is total ignorance of pop culture since about 2008.

Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again--just watch. He can do much better!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 17, 2012

Lots of response to my Pattinson/Kristen Stewart reunion. She will cheat again--100 certain--am I ever wrong?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2012

Everyone knows I am right that Robert Pattinson should dump Kristen Stewart. In a couple of years, he will thank me. Be smart, Robert.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2012

Miss Universe 2012 Pageant will be airing live on @nbc & @Telemundo december 19th. Open invite stands for Robert Pattinson.

had a dream last night that FOX was advertising an airing of "Home Alone 2: Uncut" as "the version the fake news doesn't WANT you to see"

sic why the hell are you posting old Trump tweets, which both drive referring traffic to Twitter AND amplifies Trump’s online presence?

People are missing Trump already, it seems

I did not post anything that could drive referring traffic to twitter

Thank you for those tweets. Love them. Great stuff.

On a different Twitter note, this thread, by one of the best journalists who has been studying Q regularly for years now, had this thread an hour back. Worth keeping in mind in terms of what's next after the 20th:

Over the last few years, I kept in touch with some QAnon supporters through DMs, checking in on them to see if they'd ever come out of it when their next doomsday came and went.

They'd typically first message me calling me a Satanic pedophile. I'd ignore it and ask questions.

— Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) January 17, 2021

"they think they're the good guys" otm

some of my mother's friends went full-on Q. she is utterly baffled by how crazy it sounds, but she hasn't spent much time on social media

Lmao these people. Katie Porter is fine and seems like she might be an improvement if it weren’t got the fact she she could easily lose her seat the next time the republicans have a good midterm election.

It's not as wide as the GOP, but there's also a gap between grassroots Ds & their leadership. The left, of course, has little use for either cong leader.

But it's also resistance folk.

How many who RT'd this even know who Hakeem Jeffries is?https://t.co/yAjxFtBygs

Whomp whomp

Twitter has suspended the account of Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, for 12 hours, for repeatedly tweeting election misinformation, the company tells @donie. (She tweets a lot of wildly inaccurate stuff about the election and other subjects.)

sounds to me like someone openly trolling the QAnon folks

Amazing weight loss on lardarses part and is Biden wearing a fat suit
. Must be. Surely.

I'm actually pretty okay with this development if it means they mercilessly hound 'Biden with Trump's face' as he's trying to eke out life as a private citizen.

yes otm

we should have had a pardon pool...what's the over/under? 20 pardons? 50?
