I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

In Final Fantasy Tactics if a unit gains too much faith they leave your party to go find God. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had Beast Tongue and got a monster unit to maximum faith? Of course you haven't. No one has.

To be clear, it's not that bitter online dorks assumed it was about them. It -is- about them. They just don't like that it is calling them out for what they are.

It’s kind of crazy that Nazis and the KKK have recently become controversial bad guys because a bunch of bitter online dorks assumed it was about them

Trump & Co will not stop until they are stopped. Given the opportunity to do worse things, there's no endpoint at which they will not do them. Acting in your communities now—protesting and building local networks—is critical to creating a massive, visible, nationwide opposition to counter them.

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 15h

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.
