ICE agents chased a family into their home, tried to kick the door in, and forced them to barricade inside. Then, one agent dangled their house keys in front of their Ring camera.

The rise of end times fascism | Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them

“We are up against an ideology that has given up not only on the premise and promise of liberal democracy but on the livability of our shared world... The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”
