please please continue to be this obnoxious academic because we all need to keep learning and the history of words is super fucking important

Not to be *that* obnoxious academic, but the term "moron" was invented by eugenicists to classify high-functioning "feebleminded" people, and most often targeted at women who were sexually promiscuous.

It almost ceases to be ideological, I think anti-moron could be a lane for a political party.

neighborhood is heavy with ICE today but it’s heavier with community patrol and that’s really some silver lining

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
Post Dallas Steele @Cherrykickstart Follow This literally does nothing. You are not beating fascism by dressing up in inflatable suits and dancing Quote tweeting Claude Taylor @TrueFactsStated Follow | Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

literally if more than three people start yelling LOSER GET A REAL JOB at them in Chicago, they’ve been running away. the simplest forms of rest once are working the best in some cases.

and honest to god if we have to do this why not at least inject some sort of THEATRICAL ABSURDITY into it??

Fascism demands to be taken seriously and to be feared. That makes mockery a powerful tool. Is it how you "beat" fascism? I wouldn't go that far. But inflatable Reptar has surely poked a clearer hole in the story the White House is telling that the Democratic Party's multimillion dollar comms shops.

I’m am just sitting and waiting for guidance from the shutdown NIH on how to write international subsites into grant applications for a cancer care financial navigation program in Nigeria. every day that we sit and wait, people drop out of treatment and literally die.

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.

The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.
The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

Video footage obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times appears to show three vehicles allegedly involved in the weekend shooting of a woman in Brighton Park—captured just moments before the incident occurred.
Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims agent said, 'Do something b----' before shooting
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney alleged.
