One of the things I’m sitting with from this interview is that mainstream centrist liberal nonprofits are likely to face targeted material consequences as a result of this Executive Order.

Those organizations exist and have funding to disrupt, and they aren’t as used to fascist repression

My dearest wife,

It is week two of the Siege of Portland, and still these barbarians will not yield to our troops. We have severed the cords of their latte machines but they are making cowboy coffee in their camps, where loud ukulele songs of resistance even now drift in on the breeze.

"World War 2"
"war zone"
"burning down"
"nightmare"
"one of the worst"
"brutal"

Portland is just a place that doesn't like a bully. That's it. That's all it's ever been. An underdog culture. Portland stands up to bullies, so they mercilessly target it.

Trump: "Portland, Oregon, where it looks like a war zone. I get a call from the liberal governor, 'Sir, please don't come in, we don't need you.' I said, unless they're playing false tapes, this looks like World War 2."

When states repress resistance movements for alleged terrorism, they always make the case that the root problem is ideas.

We see that on full display here.

The end game is obvious: destroy the ideas.

Liberals dismiss antifa as just an idea. That opens up the activists, researchers, and organizers to a real risk of persecution.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.
