Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

ILLINOIS Candidate for Congress @abugai.bsky.social : “You said Prizker & Johnson need a history lesson - I’d like to give you one: when masked men are kidnapping entire families, naked, zip-tying their hands and throwing them into U-haul trucks… they’re usually not the good guys.”
