I hope that kid gets a nice sleazy lawyer for a civil suit

I'd sue the cops.

They saw what happened

There's other video in that guy @mrolmos string of videos. They don't beat the shit out of the blonde kid. They annihilate another kid in a red shirt right before that. Same big asshole in the white t-shirt and snack vest doing the punching.

weird that these pro-fascists and proud boys aren't squaring up with the armed black folk / NFAC.

Where do you see that?
They've specifically called out those tools.


The NFAC guys are wierd. The dude running that joint is getting a little culty.

They're also around the southeast, not the PNW.

Probably one of the most disturbing conclusions I have come to in recent times, is the fact that Kidwoo probably has a Twitter account.

@TheRealWoo

 

[kidwoo]

I do but I don't use it.

Don't need an account to cruise twitter. But yes being gimped up, I went down the portland proudboy/antifascist hole this weekend


Pretty elaborate coverage up there!

 

[Nick]

But yes being gimped up

WTF did you do now?

In less than four years, Donald Trump has exacerbated nearly every issue plaguing this country, from income inequality to global warming.

That's a particularly harsh one. Similar vein to the NYT one — How will you be most effective at stopping donnie when shit goes nuts after the election?

Asking you for refugee status.

Denied.

Denied.

Not YOU!!!

Green sounds good to me.

I too, would most likely vote Green, if I lived in a country with a functional democracy.

 

[Changleen]

I'm tossing up Green and Labour. Leaning Green, because the National party are polling badly right now, but if their numbers firm up I'll switch to Labour.

Using the hidden party name-
Education: Green and Opportunities
Environment: Green and labour

Yeah, Green.

 

[kidwoo]

Do y'all have a nazi party like we do?

 

[Changleen]

Yeah, The ‘New Conservatives’ are pretty batshit, religious racist assholes, but I don’t think they’ll even clear 1% of the vote. (You need 5% to get into parliament). ACT are the other fairly hard right lot but they are free market neoliberals really, individualists/libertarians sort of thing. They traditionally only get in parliament because of a deal with National that gives the Nats cover to move right on some stuff.

 

[kidwoo]

Oh yeah that's way too nuanced for us.

We just mash all the bad shit together and call it patriotism.

 

[Changleen]

Using the hidden party name-

Yeah, Green.

TOP (Opportunities) have great policies, their whole schtick is super progressive, evidence-based policy, but unfortunately they have next to no chance of getting in. They were originally fronted by an eccentric millionaire who wanted to kill all the cats, and they never really recovered from that.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Nearly two-thirds of US young adults unaware 6m Jews killed in the Holocaust

According to survey of adults 18-39, 23% said they believed the Holocaust was a myth, had been exaggerated or they weren’t sure

www.theguardian.com

I find the parts that didn't make the headline far more shocking than not knowing the precise figure of Jews murdered:

more than one in 10 believe Jews caused the Holocaust, [...] Almost a quarter of respondents (23%) said they believed the Holocaust was a myth, or had been exaggerated

I think you'd get similar results in lots of other places unfortunately.

 

[4xBoy]

I can't say I can come up with a name for either camp or ghetto.

Auschwitz finally came to my mind.



According to the study of millennial and Gen Z adults aged between 18 and 39, almost half (48%) could not name a single concentration camp or ghetto established during the second world war.

Another good article; How to think a bit more clearly about what’s happening to you. I hate to say it but kind of obvious from the outside, but it’s always harder for the frogs in the pot.

Dear news media, stop covering the US as if it’s a democracy

The US is on its way to becoming an authoritarian state. That requires a radically different kind of journalism that doesn’t just cover the news, but defends democracy.
