This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.
The goal is to keep us silent.
Make talking about slavery taboo, so it can be repeated.
Make condemning hate speech an attack on their idol.
Make people afraid to speak, even rich powerful white men, and you control what gets covered.
Democracy dies in darkness.
The βwarβ has always been against Black and brown people, poor people, immigrants, and women.
But they have now created the conditions to execute this hate and future extremist hate campaigns using SCOTUS and the law.

The left will be Black and brown people, queer people, trans people, immigrants, women, and other
groups that are already under attack.
The stereotypes and assumptions these groups will face will increase violence again these communities.
We already see HBCUβs facing bomb threats and lockdowns.

Quote from Alex Jones, conspiracy theorist
Quote from oath keeper Stewart Rhodes
Wired headline
The extremists on the far right have used Kirkβs death to call for a βwarβ against βwoke, radical leftistsββ¦but how do they target the βleftβ?
By using the stereotypes and assumptions media has let play out for years.
They are going to target minoritized groups.
SCOTUS has allowed ICE to use racist and classist assumptions about an individual to complete their mass detention and deportation campaign.
If you speak Spanish or speak English with an accent, work a low wage job, use the bus, or look βethnicβ they have the right to stop you.
HBCUβs are on lockdown following the Charlie Kirk gun death yesterday.
Earlier this week SCOTUS ruled that ICE could use racial profiling in their stops for people they believe are in this country illegally.
These two things are connected.

Oh also, Iβm not seeing much on the Colorado school shooting todayβ¦
Condemn the gun violence every time, for every person.
Itβs the guns. Itβs the guns. Itβs the fucking guns.
It should really worry all of us that unilaterally condemning gun violence is painted as a surprisingly bipartisan issue.
I want to fight for a world
where the expectation is we all vehemently condemn political violence and gun violence.
Every time. For everyone. Period.
Once Donald Trump gets the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law β what comes next?

People who are migrants. Trans people. People experiencing homelessness. Everyone is next.
They have started coming for us. All Americans. But we have lost the soul of this nation and we believe some people are less deserving of human rights.
We created the conditions for everyone to be next.
