-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Doesn't look good!!

Edit: Saw a closeup, he's ๐Ÿ’ฏ dead. Jugular shot and it gushes like the Cool-Aid man shattered.

Edit 2: Fox is apparently reporting that he's admitted to the hospital, maybe he's a snowball that survived hell?

Edit 3: Mixed reporting on if the shooter has been arrested or not. A video showed an old bald white dude in custody.

Edit 4: Trump just had to be the one to announce it... He's dead. Apparently the old white dude was not the shooter. You can see from the distant video that people did not react to a close shooter, it was at distance.

Anyone worried about any crackdown on the left from this kind of thing? Idk why this all makes me uneasy, after all the shit that has happened to Palestinians from Zionists or immigrants from ICE encouraged by ghouls like this. It's like being on a climbing roller coaster and I keep wondering when it's gone a drop us into the cool zone.

I saw the closeup and he definitely lost a lot of blood very fast.

I wonder if he changed his opinion on gun control in those final seconds.

packwatch obviously.

However I wonder if they'll use this specifically for targeting universities for a crackdown. Trump could order them all militarily occupied "for the safety of conservatives". He could pressure and bully them into "diversity of thought" or shoveling drooling reactionary propaganda down the throats of every course in the curriculum while censoring and chilling effecting anyone to the left of Reagan into silence or weasel wording in the course of that. I just wish it had been anywhere else given the target already on them as spaces for organizing for Palestine.

Also a thought I had on crackdowns and fear. Nixon was afraid of people protesting him and people upset about the environment but that was off a decade of assassinations against the left and he didn't have the interest in hard military crackdowns that Trump does nor were the bourgeoisie at the time or empire for that matter amenable to it after the bad PR capitalism got from the civil rights era. More than that the left was already militant at that point and there were real communist militia movements with actual ties to revolutionary states and the USSR. Right now it seems empire and bourgeoisie are 100% down with crushing the left and don't give a damn what it looks like because they're also deploying unpopular tariffs that result in people globally hating the US anyways. So they're in full bad-guy mode without the restraint they operated under doing the cold war with the soviet union I feel. So this will be a welcome excuse to turn up the pressure. Yes they would have done it anyways, but it allows them to speed things along and get decorum loving Democrats on-board with the crackdown instead of offering feeble resistance.

This might spiral into an even more nakedly oppressive police state and nothing else. Then again there's a chance with increased repression enough Democrat voting liberals get sick of the do-nothing responses from the Democratic party and radicalize a bit. We've not been closer to something big happening in 50 years probably but what that big thing is, hard to say. Americans are like the British in their incredible ability to just take abuse after abuse without revolting but the more confused the empire is, the more its eyes wander towards its own belly the less time they spend looking further afield.

I laughed at the title. No need to read more. I'm sated.
