If there is one lesson to draw from the history of fascism in the interwar period in Europe, it is this:

Democracy falls if and when mainstream conservatives and centrist/center-right elites decide to make common cause with extremists because they consider the β€œradical Left” the more acute threat.

In the modern world if the result of an economic system is that some people can't afford;
- Housing
- Food
- Heating
- Healthcare
- Education
Then that system is not free or democratic, it is a rebranding of slavery

The United States, that "beacon of democracy", has intervened in 128 elections since 1946 to shape political outcomes in their own interests.

Protest, Power, and the Violence Debate "We are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating."

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

PROTECT THE PROTEST
1/3
THE SOLIDARITY WAVE
What to do if someone does something you don't like:
1. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
We're all here for the same cause. There is no legal requirement to alert police to potentially illegal activity.
2. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE
If someone's behavior raises your risk level beyond what you're comfortable with, leave the situation and head to a safer space.
3. ASK FOR SUPPORT
leave, ask for sepit trome reope around you ce see tete
person is able to accommodate your needs.
4. RESPECT DIVERSE TACTICS
Engage with curiosity about people who do things differently from you. What motivates them to be courageous in the face of police violence?
5. KEEP COMRADES INVISIBLE
If someone needs to blend into the crowd quickly, help them.
Learn about de-arresting and support people who are being targetetd.
Together, we can be powerful, strategic, and united.

Protesters and ICE watchers are gathering again outside immigration court this morning, where ICE agents have been kidnapping people after mandated hearings in downtown Chicago.

Sessions have been canceled (and arrests prevented) multiple times this week due to their presence.

I agree with those who say that by attacking sanctuary cities, the administration was trying to provoke a response they could exploit. But here's the thing: there is no perfect move for a community under siege. Cooperation and the passive absorption of violence are also highly exploitable moves.
