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.

Please stop setting `width: 100vw` on the `body`.

It's unnecessary. By default, the `body` stretches horizontally as much as necessary.

It's problematic. Setting `width: 100vw` on it can cause overflow even if you remove the default `margin`... because the page may have a scrollbar.

Anyway. Free Palestine and End Antisemitism. These are not remotely conflicting statements.

These freaks keep getting on TV talking about opposing antifa and how they believe antifa wants to destroy them, and not a single person in mainstream media has asked or commented on what is the opposite of antifascism and who is threatened by antifascists

I love how Vercel just lops off 10 seconds from your build time with every push.

You can watch it happen...build time 57s. Then it just subtracts 10 seconds and says 47s next to the deployment.

*cool*

"It’s his trombone playing that gives the Skatalites their heart – a large part of their repertoire comes from him. Everybody knows who Bob Marley is. But I’m going to stick my neck out and say Don was a greater musician than Bob."

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

The relentless @djbyrnes1.bsky.social has spent day after day in court this week tracking what's happening with suits against DHS filed (disclaimer: we're plaintiffs in one of them), as well as protesters facing charges.

NEW — Some TRiiBE readers, among many others on the internet, have been suggesting that the Chicago police arrest ICE agents for their misconduct.

1) If you're in Chicago or the burbs, have a plan for what you will do if you encounter ICE terrorists -- this shit is too dire to improvise, and

#GrumpyPolitics This is why you draw your own personal line ahead of time. What is your personal line in the sand? It's going to vary for everyone, but if you don't draw it, you don't know.

Draw your line in the sand, and make a plan for what you are going to do if someone crosses it.

People keep waiting for "the thing," some kind of bright line that makes it all clear. There's already blood in the water. Clarity isn't coming anytime soon.

@unraveledpress.com & other press have been threatened, shot with less-lethals and arrested while reporting on federal immigration activities in Chicagoland and on the resulting protests at Broadview.

I'm now at a hearing asking the federal court to rein ICE & co in. I'll let you know how it goes.
unraveledpress.com
Well, yeah, we're suing ICE.

This wasn't really a hard decision. As little faith as we have in institutions, we recognize the value of drawing visible lines in the sand. We drew ours personally a while ago, but better late than never.

May every protester be freed and may this occupation end.

related, when the president is invading our own country, waging war on our own people, i don't wanna see dems give the GOP shit they ask for, don't wanna hear shit bout 'we hope our friends across the aisle will work with us on bipartisan solutions to the problems they cause' i don't want none of it
grudgie.bsky.social
Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?

A thing I think it’s important for USians not in currently-occupied cities to grasp is that the normal and everyday goes on alongside the violent and unprecedented.

In Chicago right now you can be forced off teargas-soaked streets in the morning and have a peaceful evening picnic on the lake.

Bought this 35 years ago today. One of the greatest singles of all time and the daddy of all dub tracks. Was totally stunned when I heard it for the first time. Earth-shaking, visionary. Seems nuts that it’s almost half a century old.
