Madison came out to say fuck American fascism, fifteen thousand strong. It took an hour and a half for the march from the campus to reach the capitol, about sevenish blocks away. #NoKings

There were more people out in fucking WISCONSIN'S capital to tell American neo-nazis to die a thousand times than there were in the actual nation's capital to say "Yay, we like neo-nazis and happy birthday Head Dumbfuck Neo-Nazi."

I don't even know what kind of an asshole you'd have to be to vote for Cuomo. It's like some kind of new asshole hybrid.

Don't worry, everyone, fresh off #WelcomeFest, a gathering of some the dullest, most morally compromised gherms in the Democratic Party and its vampiritic consultant class, a triumphal manifestation of the InternetHippo's now-memetic tweet, I'm sure intrepid centrists like Ritchie Torres and Matt Yglesias in weighing in to see if they can help heal the internazi rift in the interest of bipartisanship.

Every single message out of the #WelcomeFest/Third Way/DLC circlejerk was basically "We're just really pantswetting loathsome pricks" and "the way forward to electoral popularity is for everyone to just be pantswetting loathsome pricks like us." They just couched it as "hard decisions" for "political exigency" or some shit - these are ways to say being "pro-genocide" and "anti-human rights" is fine cuz "Big Tent"! - because these are Tough Guys, and these Tough Guys' speakers in a single day, by one rough estimate, whinged 25-30 times about being bullied on Bluesky by progressives. Because tough.

But - BUT - if you are those dipshits right now, you are probably breathing a massive sigh of relief that, instead of getting swirlied for another cycle by people with rudimentary morality and integrity, the lairds of the fash vermin you've made common cause with are doing a public meangirl fight and fucking smashing every mirror in the Reich greenroom.

But, hey, if you happen to be primarying Tom Suozzi or Jared Golden or Ritchie Torres, let me know so I can send you money.

I know I know, "don't be a complete fucking asshole" is such an exacting "purity test" and the D pennant-wavers and fucking Carville would be very mad at me for this. As they rally behind a bullying serial sex predator, a man on whom the neo-nazis running the country have fucking servers full of kompromat, in his beshitted campaign to be mayor of New York.

Anyway, I'm not the first person to suggest "we need to reach across the aisle to find common cause with neo-nazis" is a fucking stupid thing to say and it disqualifies you for ANY job, but I will sure as fuck reiterate it as often as possible.

If you don't understand that "Ethnic cleansing is bad with an asterisk and the asterisk is we can make exceptions for people who don't like the genocide I full-throatedly support" is indefensible and utter shit politics, I literally do not have the capacity to teach you how to be a human being.

Here a slightly different lens on it: If AOC had taken a more gradual wonk path into NY politics, odds are not insignificant that Cuomo at some point would've attempted to coerce her to let him rape her, and "Centrist Dems" - not all but the LOUDEST ones - have made it clear they think that would be FINE so, sure, let's def accept their "thought leadership" and that they are well-meant people, in spite of, y'know, the fucking obvious.

As I have stated in this space before, I GET coalition politics, PARTICULARLY the need for a Popular Front against an actual fascist movement burning the country down. Center-right nerds can quibble with me on a 100% marginal tax rate over $1 billion all you want, fine, that's POLICY. What you can NOT do is tell me proven pricks and demonstrable fuckery are good.

As shared by @wiredferret.bsky.social on bluesky, shout out to whatever hero sharpied "BITCH NAZI" on the ICE Manly Kristallnacht Vehicle in Minneapolis today just prior to the neighborhood chasing them the fuck out.

#Texas is controlled by revanchist evangelical neo-nazis, the governor legalized murder there as long as the murderer is a neo-nazi, a rolling Klan rally in 2020 forced a Democratic Party campaign bus off the interstate with the assistance of local cops and exactly zero people were prosecuted or in any way held accountable for it, and cops didn't do jack shit about a two-year terror campaign that led to Jonathan Joss's murder because, in Texas, absolute fucking horror is legal and encouraged.

Some of those ICE agents are Proud Boys and we all fucking know it.

Munich Putsch cadres to Schutzstaffel is a well-worn path. It's not going to be an iota different here.

There's a lot of counterfactual scenarios to play with re how the United States became a fascist country - which it absolutely is now - but none of ANY of this gets resolved until any organization/movement capable of righting it is willing to hang men and women for violating the oath of office they took to opt, instead, for fealty to self-proclaimed ubermensch whose entire battery of orders worked to defy the country's constitution and do that specifically to destroy vulnerable people's lives for the crime of nothing.

Many of us said this, particularly in 2019-2020, ICE, CBP and a vast VAST majority of law enforcement in the United States needed to be denazified. Democratic Leadership didn't want to do that because "normalcy" or whatever, and they left a pre-politicized SS in place, simply awaiting the return of their messiah. You can argue that Abolish-ICE position was "radical" all you want, but here's the thing people radicalized by a conservative state manifesting as brutal programmatic predation know that a lot of liberals don't, which is they, the wacky leftists in the coalition, have been fucking consistently right about all this shit (HEY, remember the Iraq war cuz I sure fucking do) while liberals have fucking ignored it, tried to spackle over it, and lost. Now we're all fucked, and if you, dear sensible centrist, presume to preach deradicalization at this point, any rational person should fucking punch you in the head. That's where we're at.

If you are not yet "radicalized" to understand that an actual functioning society needs to denazify, fucking violently where necessary, its justice system/martial aparatus, fine, you process information at your own pace, but just very much know, this is what got us to the inhuman things you are probably now decrying.

Radicalize now or we're all fucked.

There will be a point - and what happened in San Diego today is fucking empirical research in this regard - where ICE goons will fire live rounds into a neighborhood crowd trying to stand up for their neighbors and it will not go well for the ICE goons thereafter. If you even have the slightest tendency of giving cops the benefit of the doubt, shed it now and really try to get that those bursts of violence will be what's left of society trying to heal in the most organic way possible. Excising predators from their midst.

No one who works for ICE or CBP or DHS generally deserves a moment of peace, much less blithe normalization. If you know any, make it clear, in whatever means might be available to you, they are fucking vermin. Make this memetic to the point where it is not even "controversial," simply the accepted vernacular toward any occupying army.

Their job is ethnically cleansing the Other, so Other the shit out of the fucking lot of them.
