You may not have an objective view of the type of apologism you are performing right now. Or maybe you know what you're doing and are kind of a troll or something.
Where is this "united front" exactly?
First let's figure out where that "united front" is.
It sounds made up. Especially if the person is talking about within a USA political party.
Next week! Join @mskellymhayes.bsky.social in conversation with Shane Burley, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Atena O. Danner to discuss ππππ ππππ¨ ππππ£ ππππ£ππ¨ πππ‘π‘ πΌπ₯ππ§π©, a collection of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times.

It's happening in many other states too.
"Drug trafficking is a felony, but it's not a violent crime and isn't punishable by summary execution."
The people killed also weren't anywhere near the USA, and the laws of the USA are only applicable in the legal jurisdiction of the USA.
To be fair, most sport quotes are fairly generic.
The Black version of the January 6th QAnon shaman?
Important to remember accuracy isn't what wins politics in the USA these days.
This drives systems-thinking people crazy.
It is basically 'social capital' (those who are socially connected get the help, while those who aren't, don't). Creating systems that are more accessible, structured, egalitarian/equitable, can offer benefits this approach doesn't... Not that this is bad.
To paraphrase,
"Change the system from within, or change it from the outside"
The choice - and assessment of what will be effective - is still for you to decide. Calling it "infiltrating" is sexier, but it doesn't change what it actually is.
We're not "supposed" to live under fascism, but it imposes itself unless we figure out how to stop it.
We don't have this one on a print flyer (yet?) but apparently it's got a list of such projects and organizations all across the country

"And you cuttin' the welfare
Knowin' damn well when you cut the welfare

There's a good intro to the song too.
If you or someone you know is affected by the government shutdown and needs assistance with getting food, medicine or other essentials, here's a resource. Just put in your zip code and you will get a list of nearby food pantries and orgs that can help. Please share widely! π₯°

"but i also voted for Reagan and Bush"
"but i have no love for Antifa"
you don't need the second "but" you know
If a fascist is taking over and the protest is against kings, there will be some people who don't understand it's a protest against fascism.
But not as many people would turn out for an explicitly ant-fascist rally, because @cathyyoung63.bsky.social and Trump will both put their crosshairs on you.
"pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will"
if it wasn't clear: the idea of having one website to give to people anywhere in the country, where they can find a bunch of local opportunities makes things more accessible - and can enable printed flyers to direct people to that site, to find their local opportunities no matter where it's distroed
If local opportunities listed themselves in the AllOfUSdirectory.org it could help both the newly activated people and the local organizations.
We'd suggested some orgs to add to the people running the directory, but they said the orgs should add themselves.

Worth noting for what it's worth:
This NPR article alanawise.bsky.social previewing #NoKings does not use any of the words fascist/ism, authoritarian, or dictator.
Apparently someone asked the White House about "the accusations that Trump is behaving like a monarch" π¦π¦π¦π

If you are going to a No Kings protest this weekend, be sure to review our Surveillance Self Defense guide for attending a protest and bring Rayhunter along for the ride! ssd.eff.org/module/atte.... eff.org/rayhunter.
Yesterday, a new indictment was revealed in North Texas that uses Trumpβs new directive to go after βantifaβ to prosecute the Prairieland Defendants. This is the first instance where the Trump Administration has framed βantifaβ as a terrorist group in a criminal case.
Remember, the Prairieland aka Alvarado defendants in the ICE shooting, are mostly people who were just there for a noise demo and got caught up when someone used the opportunity to hide in the bushes and fire on the cops.
But the 'evidence' is they had anarchist zines.

Hope that helps.

ok not interesting just boring because it's already been studied
ok go back to whatever you were doing before you found this thread
it's interesting the people who feel the need to come out of nowhere with the insults. it's a good thing to look into, what meaning they feel it gives to their lives.
but they probably would just insult anyone who asks them about it.
