If you’re not blasting Rage Against The Machine 24/7 are you really anti-facist?

Every time they post about Biden's FBI, Biden's this or that in 2020 or even January 6th, 2021... ask very clearly:

"Who was President then?"

Fight the narrative.

“The Biden FBI”

Who was President on January 6?

Donald J. Trump * © @reaDonaldTrump • 1m
THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT

Every once in a while I remember Trump changed vice presidents because he sent a violent mob to take care of his previous one and that’s not a thing anyone even talks about.

I'm guessing someone out there is selling these shirts, right? The internet wouldn't let me down?

Chick tract showing a public school hallway with posters that say free birth control and sexual orientation counseling. There are four students: a guy with facial piercings, revolver, backwards baseball cap, and a shirt with a monkey that says my ancestor. A punk in a trench coat with a shotgun and a shirt that says drugs and has a skull on it. A bald boy in a leather jacket with a knife. And a girl in a tank top with a tattoo of the word sex.

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.

A ”stats” guy who made one counterintuitive guess and has been coasting on it.

It’s a shame that the entertainment industry co-opted the term reboot!

Given everything I've seen, I find it really hard to think much else besides "Tear down your heroes, so that you may supplant them."

I believe everyone can contribute to science. Admins, officer workers, grant writers, janitors, glass blowers, match makers, shit shovelers, everyone! Trump, Johnson, & the whole Republican party wants to make that impossible! If you're feeling hopeless, give someone else hope! It helps!
