it's grim, but the reality is that Trump wants more innocent people to die here in the Twin Cities and the GOP majorities in both chambers of Congress are either ambivalent about more lives being taken or outright support it

And they're building more concentration camps. They're doing ethnic cleansing.
The number of people currently in ICE custody is now over 73,000, the most in history.

as someone who worked in rural health policy, this is not a real thing. this is actually called giving up on rural america after your party broke everything and can’t put it back together. perfect time to exploit people with scams

again, Jonathan Eig's MLK Jr. bio is very revealing in this regard—I don't think people understand how often King had to fend off petty attacks and snipes from almost every major figure in his movement
The successful nonviolence and civil rights movements of the past, as I’ve gathered from reading about them, ALSO featured a shit ton of incessant petty drama and in-fighting.

But crucially, they didn’t have social media - so this was kept far more private.

If you want to know why so many cities were shitty places to live in the 1970s & 80s and took generations to recover, look back to the riots and arsons of the 1960s.
The fires set in 1968 have literally defined my life. People fled DC and stayed away for decades. The tax base was gone and generations of kids grew up in the ashes and rubble.

This sort of tut-tutting is how I imagine a child might try organize a mass movement.

lol holy shit of course she’s one of those “doesn’t even live in the US but has very strong opinions about political organizing therein” people.

It is *remarkable* how frequently the people telling Americans to firebomb Walmarts aren’t even in the country.

Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.“

Hanania, on top of being virulently gutter racist, is also an enormously smug dork. bsky.app/profile/jmgr...
Reminder for folks who might have forgotten how virulently racist Hanania is on the main.

Violent misogyny is the bond holding MAGA together. It's so ingrained & normalized in the US as to be invisible, even when it's rubbed in our faces in the form of the "Access Hollywood" tape not ending Trump's candidacy & the American electorate choosing a literal rapist over women candidates--2x.

Apparently, it’s really hard to tell where NGO brain and terminally online overlap, except in telling “the libs” they’re doing it wrong.

He's actually demonstrating the courage of his convictions, and the mere act of doing that is humiliating to those who have none.

A *lot* of organizers are very bad at their jobs because not only do they fail to accomplish their radical goals, they then blame *other people* for being insufficiently radical.

The whole point of the MN community response has been to a) show up en masse wherever ICE goes to deter them and b) demonstrate the obvious illegality and immorality of what ICE is doing by filming them.

Burning a dumpster in that context is just wildly counterproductive.

I've run into these kinds people all the time, and their ego is simply too insatiable for any kind of productive partnership.

If you are screaming at people who *want* to *help* to fuck off, you are doing a very bad job at organizing.
When you are without doubt doing an organizing.
