Does anyone have a (reliable) (news) source on this?

[–] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 1 points 21 hours ago

Just current events. You can pick your source.

In her first paragraph she's talking about this.

In her second, this.

Americans, put that second amendment to good use.

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 days ago

just to be clear, "school newspaper" for these broken clock brains applies to middle and high school classes on journalism where they publish their efforts

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 35 points 3 days ago

This is mask-off fascism, which should horrify every US citizen, because it means they think they have already won.

I appreciate you so much for actually linking actionable steps

Not a Democracy

Going to the gulags, but in different words.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 39 points 4 days ago

Ahhhh freedom (for the rich and powerful)

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And if it took you this long to understand this, you're part of the problem.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I agree. I also think it's better late than never. There are always going to be lots of naive people, it's natural. People tend to think things cannot go so wrong, it won't happen here, it won't happen to them... it keeps them functioning. How many of the people seeing the real problems are depressed or have other mental issues? We probably need much more evolution as a species.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

I'm assuming you mean "evolution" in the colloquial sense, not the biological one.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's extremely damning or American liberals that when they get leaked conversations of their leaders callously massacring civilians in a brutal war of aggression, their reaction is to start sqarking about "national security" and "the troops".

Speak in a wavelength conservatives understand and support so that they also hate trump

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Careful, folks around here don't take kindly to Democrats trying to flip old school conservatives (see Harris bringing Liz Cheney on stage)... It seems like many people on this site think that her doing that was worse than anything a second Trump administration has and will do.

[–] zwekihoyy@lemmy.ml 1 points 12 hours ago

clearly not worse but it's pandering and conceding to right wing rhetoric (which is also an increasingly problematic issue the Dems have). rather than leaning more right wing to capture republicans (and in turn losing left wing voters) they should lean into left wing populism

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Catering to conservatives is what got us to this point.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 0 points 3 days ago

I didn't say cater

History loves a rhyme. Though this one's got simple whitey meter to it, taken right from their playbook. Just crazy that no one saw it coming, right? Wow.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

no one saw it coming

I'm reading Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America by Sarah Kendzior written during Trumps first term. The book may have been premature because, holy shit, everything Kendzior wrote is exactly what is happening now.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

Because those fucking crackers have no imagination other than ways to lie to themselves about their peens, et al.

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

History loves a rhyme:

Unfortunately in this time, If you're rich, it ain't a crime, Especially if you kiss the ring, Of our newly enthroned king

"Put our troops in danger" while they bomb the shit out of Yemen.

[–] damdy@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

American flag emoji...Freedom...etc.

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 50 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Bombing an entire apartment building full of civilians to get one guy and his girlfriend. Real heroic shit.

[–] quack@lemmy.zip 26 points 4 days ago

The IDF special.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

The US has always been doing war crimes in the middle east. It's just another tally mark on the wall.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Did they post a Musk meme on reddit?

[–] the_three_tomatoes@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago

Yep exactly. The US attacks on Yemen are just a continuation of a long American tradition of bombing the shit out of "lesser" nations.
