I mean, I can't argue.

Thank you so much for posting this. I had read it before, but it has probably been 25 years. I needed it.

Agreed.

I couldn't agree more. Voting is not going to save us. Neither are the courts or the house of reps or the Senate. I'm in a little mountain town, but we are as organized as we can be. There are so many more of us that reject fascism, I think that should be our coalition instead of reformed cultists.

33% of eligible voters didn't show up to vote in 2024. Mobilizing that population should be the left's goal, not recruiting fascist cult members.

If you're not familiar, I would recommend reading up on the paradox of tolerance.

It is good to hear that some people finally opening their eyes. It takes a lot of courage to admit you were wrong. I just can't take people's word as truth anymore.

I disagree. While I will definitely welcome anyone who actually wants to do the work of feeding people, restocking free pantries, organizing to protect neighbors, etc., if they voted for mango Mussolini multiple times I need more than words. I don't welcome fascists into my fold.

I see that comment as saying 'talk is cheap. If you don't back it up with actions, your words don't matter.' if that dude on C-SPAN is getting involved in local mutual aid groups, or otherwise looking out for his neighbors, welcome to the flight. If they're not and just talking, Miss me with that.

Or "punching yourself in the face really hard and hoping the downstairs neighbour says 'ouch'. Thanks @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy

Nor is it civil war "like". Make no mistake, the federal government is waging war against We the People. Anyone not kowtowing to the regime is a target and enemy. See this executive order naming antifa, among others, domestic terrorists.

I used to have this power in Denver. Not as impressive as NYC, but I could ALWAYS find street parking.

Me too.

I fucking hate that man

This is the bare minimum of strength needed, and itself is not adequate. Shut. This. Shit. Down.

I'm in Chaffee, we heard about ICE in the Vail/Avon area on Wednesday. Stay vigilant, stay safe, friend.
