I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

When we say “No Kings” this should include the nasty billionaires who use their money to control all media and the government.

It's the discontent being 2 octaves lower than a riot, for me.

The fact that white nationalists feel a need to make a halftime show just for them communicates clearly that they understand safe spaces. They just don’t want anyone they deem “other” to have one.

Safety for me, not for thee. In that regard, they sure got the “All-American” part right.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

Because boy, howdy, nobody knows ritual and symbolism like the Catholic Church, and having it turned squarely back on the Very Bad Catholics who have been the public standard-bearers of wielding it for evil for so long is really good to see.

It's been really, really nice seeing the Catholic social justice tradition in the US feel like it's empowered to spread its wings again without risking censure after a long time of being suppressed by US Catholic leadership, and it's exactly what I was hoping for from Pope Bob.

Interesting phrasing here. Subsidies did not magically “become more generous.” The American Rescue Plan of 2021, which every Republican in Congress voted against, expanded these subsidies thanks to Congressional Democrats and President Biden, who signed it into law.

Since subsidies became more generous in 2021, overall enrollment has more than tripled in six red states: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and West Virginia.

New reporting: many apparently fired at CDC in 'error'. This is a failure by design given that the admin does not care about fulfilling agency missions. This is the kind of error that should have political consequences.

Unserious people cause real-world harm.

We obviously need to deal with the moral decay that allowed this to happen, but we also need to figure out how we continue to live next to people that largely don’t care that things like this happen because of the skin color of the victims.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

I’m surprised it’s taking so long for the left to own the Antifascist moniker. I mean, fascism is what we’re fighting. “Antifa” was just a made-up, BS name that ended with a vowel to rally their know-nothing followers against an imagined, foreign threat.
