This has been enabled by a society that encourages people to believe the idea that white supremacy is somehow transgressive rather than hegemonic.
Sneako likens playing "Heil Hitler' in a nightclub to the Boston Tea Party: "It is pro-free speech. It is the Founding Fathers dumping the tea into the ocean. You want to tax us? We're gonna go flip over your boats."

I told people the other day that we here in MN were hitting a wall and could really use a pep talk and some extra care and kindness. Today is a bit brighter, but it's still needed.
This is a thing you can do that is free. The other night I read some (& cried some more). It means a lot.

I want to format these all into beautiful things to be shared across the internet, but until I have the time for it, if you are from Minnesota and need to know that people love you and have your back, that you are inspiring people all over the world, here are some notes.

I’m not much for religion but if I were, if a line of clergy flew in to freezing weather to line up and oppose me while singing songs of faith, I might be thinking “are we the baddies?”

This is not materially different from Josef Mengele. The concept is to deliberately expose people to serious harm so you can gather more data on what you already know will hurt them. It's not some big coincidence the Nuremberg Code expressly prohibits everything resembling this kind of "science."
RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

Happening now: a large group of mostly clergy — primarily local faith leaders, some not — are staging an anti-ICE protest at the Minneapolis airport.

Clergy arrests are powerful symbolism and the clergy that deploy that symbolism are usually very conscious of that.
Priests aren't required to wear collars all day every day, it's a deliberate choice when they're in clerical apparel
