Osman: "President Trump singling out one group of people & ICE being on our streets & asking people for documentation, it feels like we're in 1930s Germany. I never thought there would be a time where I will tell my community to carry their passport around bc if you look Somali you might be stopped"

"So-called leaders who are trying to divide Minnesota are similar to the tribal leaders who destroyed Somalia.

The median annual income in Nigeria is about ~$1000 a year. Most populous country in Africa.
The median annual income in India is ~$2400 a year. Most populous country in Asia.
Worldwide, it's about $2750.
When we say "tech peaked in the 1990s," I think we omit "For rich Americans and Europeans."

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.
The president and his allies came after him.
Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.
He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.
His politics can win anywhere.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.
