Feeling helpless? Reading about how people resisted fascism always makes me feel better. People before me did it, I can too.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

I had a ecology TA laugh at me when I said OPEC was a cartel. It's been 24 years. OPEC is absolutely the textbook definition of a cartel.

Okay. But I'm never forgiving him for Jenny MacCarthy because the anti-science rhetoric is part of the rise of fascism. Actually, he can fuck off.

A little good news!

SCOTUS declined to review an appeal from Alex Jones. This left in place a lower court judge’s order that he pay $1.4 billion in damages to the families who lost children in a 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?
