What good does throwing money at non-profits do in an environment in which they're being targeted for destruction?

No amount of money will be enough - you gotta get the hunters off their asses.

When feudal kings talk about "Antifa" or the "radical left," these are euphemisms for Americans who kept learning after high school and developed a positive vision for how our society could be, and these kings are insecure that if this vision spreads to more people, it'll manifest into a reality.

Someone else posted but I couldn't share it. For those who have some legal background... Have cards printed up outlining the rights private business owners have when hassled by federal scum. They do not have to host said scum on their property and can refuse them service in many cases.

They should come to the cities to help fend off the masked thugs they voted to invade us with, paid for with our tax money that they siphoned off blue states' economies.

Chicagoans are forming citizen patrols to get children in and out of schools safe from fed paramilitary.

Come help with that.

My theory here is that they believe health is caused by virtue and therefore healthcare spending is resources wasted on the unvirtuous. Furthermore it should be the most virtuous who are in charge of what is healthy. So it's sort of a mystic soup of eugenics and hierarchy and 'justice'.

This is so weird though. I know people keep confidently responding “they are eugenicists” and I’m sure this is true, but that alone feels insufficient to describe the behavior

I don’t think we’re talking enough about the fact that we successfully took back the frog. Like it has been a meme for the alt right for years now, and thanks to these Portland inflatable costumes, we’re taking it back

My German grandmother, a war refugee, emigrated to Chicago. She learned how to speak English watching WGN.

When I visited we’d watch WGN every night. Never thought I’d see one of its producers brutalized & arrested by masked US govt thugs.

My mom & grandparents fled Germany bc of this same shit.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Yeah, that's true. The oligarchs own CBS now. Campaign finance laws won't undo that.

Catchy song. Fun video (love anything Wizard of Oz). The lady's voice is fantastic.

Opposing a power mad despot is literally the most American thing an American can do. These guys got a lot wrong but they nailed that one. It is fundamental to the core of this country.

He's all talk so far. It's been the right talk, but it's time to put up or shut up. This isn't a confrontation of words any more, not for a long time.
