“Like King, many ostensibly ‘nonviolent’ civil rights activists embraced their constitutional right to self-protection—yet this crucial dimension of the Afro-American freedom struggle has been long ignored by history.”

If we don't get in the game of making it toxic and unprofitable for these apps to host Nazi speech (and for these app stores to look the other way), we will keep losing the battle to force these chuds to crawl back to the margins and the shadows.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

BREAKING NYT:

Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.

Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

It is not our job to determine if resistance is hopeless. It is our duty to render it effective, at all possible points, while we are alive. It is the future that will determine if our efforts were victorious, not the present. To act fully in the present means to never face defeat.

Dissent and dissent LOUDLY.

We live under a fascist regime, not a successfully totalitarian regime.

These people are not bright and they are not competent.

If you're in the U.S. and haven't gotten the 2025-2026 COVID vaccine yet, experts are recommending you schedule it NOW before Friday.

If you live in a Republican-controlled state, I STRONGLY recommend you get it before Friday if you can, before the ACIP restricts access.

PSA: If you haven’t yet, it may be a good idea to get your COVID shot this week.

Reports suggest that CDC may further restrict COVID vaccine access to people aged 75 and up, unless you have an condition.

The committee that advises the CDC on vaccines meets this Thursday.

If you feel like there’s nothing you can do to stop all of this, start by refusing to participate in fascist demands. And don’t ever justify the behaviors of people who capitulate.

They can’t do any of this without cooperation. The main thing most people need to do is just refuse that cooperation.

A big part of why white centrist journos can call this a tragedy with a straight face is because to them it is; Kirk etc pose no viable harm to them, their interests, their fetishisation of 'robust debate' and both sidesery - this violence thus feels realer than the violence Kirk's views embodied

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?
