What’s the source for the location list?

The arc of the moral universe bending toward justice sometimes takes longer than three to four weeks.

Do you see any National Guard in Portland or Chicago?

Resistance groups across the country are already organizing this. You should get plugged into them if you want to help.

Dude, totally. I’m just talking about the playbook they’re using. I’m not saying it’s remotely working for them.

Hey bud, maybe consider turning off the Fox News from time to time.

They make examples of a few to cow the rest into submission. Classic authoritarianism playbook.

I’m reminded of the Muse lyrics:

We need a transformation

One we all can see

We need a revolution

So long as we stay free

Fair enough!

Reminder that Comcast is funding Trump’s ballroom and also has a contract with ICE.

You’re forgetting: 1. The ballroom, and 2. Trumpcoin.

I mean, aren’t they? It’s not like they’ve suddenly decided these tactics are morally wrong or anything, because that would imply they have morals. Rather, they see the rest of the GOP starting to turn on them as a result of these murders in Minneapolis, and so they’re responding to the only thing they actually understand—the potential loss of power.

All of Minnesota is doing that on Friday, January 23rd.

Friendly reminder that Dell is a major ICE vendor.

Guess who was working for Border Patrol in 2014?

Yes, but that’s not relevant to the whole abiding by court rulings thing.

More specifically, he’s worried about looking bad if there are riots and looting. Because in 2020 after George Floyd’s murder, Walz caught a lot of flak about not responding quickly enough to the Minneapolis police station burning to the ground.

You’re conveniently glossing over the fact that kings don’t adhere to any court rulings.

You know what this is? You just want to feel justified in your nihilism. If he already has absolute control as a king, then nothing can be done and we all might as well give up, right?

Wrong. The regime hasn’t fully concentrated power, they aren’t invulnerable, and anyone who pretends otherwise is fucking complicit.

The U.S. Supreme Court somehow handed down a major ruling that stops him from deploying National Guard to American cities… and he’s abiding by it. Is that what a king would do?

You’re right that the current fascism is structural and supported by many actors, but revolting isn’t necessary to make the regime crumble. Instead, concerned citizens can work to weaken those pillars of fascist support until the regime can no longer operate.
