I said this a while ago but it bears repeating:

The U.S. right is fully captured by a) christian fascist accelerationists seeking to start the Biblical Apocalypse, & b) those actively manipulating (a) for profit.

Everything they claim to care about will last only so long as it serves (a) or (b).

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

People will say "impeachment doesn't do anything, so why bother?" And the answer is unless you are personally willing to take up arms in violent revolution, impeachment is the process. Malicious compliance is a thing. You file articles of impeachment until it's all anyone is talking about.

Acceptable Losses Whose deaths get to be deemed unacceptable in supremacist America, and whose are deemed necessary? And who does the deeming?

"To a supremacist society, most of us are acceptable losses. Charlie Kirk is not. To a supremacist society, guns are allowed to kill most of us, and the pundits can debate later how sad our deaths were.

But guns were not supposed to kill Charlie Kirk."

The laugh i just laughed was a childlike yet hideous laugh

Regularly, at my job, though I suppose I would also be considered a person of some power in that context. Or, at least, I get to regularly say some variant of "University policy does not allow us to do the thing you ask". Wide range of responses to that, over the years.

Hey! Happy to help; thanks for asking! I know it's tough to get started, but I believe in you. Small steps to start; answer one question, read one paragraph, etc. First step is usually the toughest. You got this.

The Rules What is a game without rules? What are rules, if we've stopped playing the game?

Body cam footage: Neo-Nazis who marched in Short North claimed to be victims of violence The neo-Nazis told police they had never received such a violent response as the one they received in Columbus, and claimed people threw cans and veggies.

“…the neo-Nazis told police they had never experienced a response like the one they received in Columbus. They said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched... One of the officers noted the men were ‘covered in’ pepper spray.”

Rules Of Engagement A hopefully smart look at the frequently not-smart discussion around boundaries and inclusion.

In this coming age of fascism, it's going to be just as important to discover safe people as it is to discover unsafe people.

Three simple principles I think may work.

1) When someone hurts you, tell them. See how they react. They'll tell you who they are.
