The American cities Trump has vowed to invade one by one produce 90% of this country's GDP. We must withhold these funds, and our infrastructure, from the United States Government, until these invasions stop

Hey if you want to keep track of what's happening in Chicago right now this is a really good account to follow

Happening now: we're at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.

CCSO + Broadview police are telling protesters + press they can't stand on the west side of 25th Street for any reason.

We asked what the precise public safety issue is. They just said they're anticipating cars coming through.

No joke at the work function with older conservatives I got to bring this up and even got one of them to chime in and he called it propaganda to say the whole city is ravaged and I was floored. It really does help to have completely non threatening evidence to the contrary of their claim

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

This is so important. Like, it's completely unreasonable to expect someone who's never been to a protest to move immediately to civil disobedience. You get people used to going out, you make sure the events are fun and build community, and you let them see for themselves that more is needed

Right now, we are at Phase 1 of a mass movement. This means building strength, winning hearts and minds, and making room for people that have never been active to wander in and participate.

The optics matter! Friendly protests are good!

Authoritarians believe the only way to make anyone do something is by force, they completely overlook persuasion: it's one of their biggest weaknesses and it pains me to see people on "my side" making the same mistake

It's difficult at times to hold both "this admin is doing lasting and serious damage to our institutions and the globe" and "this admin is full of the most bafflingly incompetent idiots you've ever seen who fall over themselves like a Vaudeville act constantly."

The duality of man is incredible.

Dear Elected Democrats,

Trump allies will say this about you NO MATTER HOW OFTEN AND HOW VIGOROUSLY YOU THROW TRANS PEOPLE UNDER THE BUS. You can LITERALLY only WIN THIS ARGUMENT ON THE MERITS or CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

MOVING RIGHT ON IT IS ONLY GOING TO MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE YOU THINK HE HAS A POINT

Just a reminder that Jack published a book last year called “unhumans” that makes the argument that all Democrats and anyone left of Francisco Franco should be rounded up and murdered en mass for the rest of the populations entertainment.
Jack is a Nazi and hell bent on the murder of his opponents

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

...I get that we sound like crazy people to anyone not online enough to know who Posobiec is, to know what QAnon is, to know what Pizzagate is. People who don't watch press conferences and roundtable and the insane fucking fascist shit being spoken out loud across the internet. I get it.
