Photo of a table covered in flyers for Jewish Voice for Peace and Upper Valley for Palestine, red know your rights cards and local ICE report hotline cards, and copies of Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba. A post-it note on the books says Free for anyone who wants to get involved beyond rallies.
Small town VT No Kings had over 300 people show up. Every speaker mentioned Palestine. Tents set up to plug people into mutual aid, immigration defense, and Palestinian liberation. I also handed out a few copies of Let This Radicalize You for free to people who wanted to learn more about organizing.

Iβm actually on track to read about 20 more books than last year, though Iβd attribute that to more intentionally engaging in the protection of my mental and emotional space that reading often offers. So I still donβt think itβs a good sign lol.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.β These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause
By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.
Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.
The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

(the rule is that using speech to advocate for fascism is just doing good old liberal politics, the right way, but on the other hand, asserting that a fascist is a fascist is violent anti-speech and there is blood on your hands for it)

Getting sick of the term βpolitical violenceβ when a public figure closely aligned w/one ideology or other is a victim. ICE is also political violence. Armies are also political violence.
