I like how the news will be like β€œwhile the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

So no one told him since the last time he said this that it's not true? How do people still put up with journalism/media/all politicians? Saying a city is on fire when it's not would be the end of every presidency until this fucking clown. It's beyond absurd.

This is what ICE is doing in Chicago. They attack and detain anyone who dares to ask questions and know their rights β€” including local journalists.

The Frog Costume has gone from $25 to almost $40 on amazon over the last week. There's an army brewing.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

No Kings protests, and anti-regime protests in general, serve two main positive functions:

1) Reminding participants and observers that they’re very far from alone, countering regime efforts to divide and isolate

2) Showing the absurdity of regime lies about the peaceful, pro-democracy opposition

Honestly think these need to be the symbol of resistance to fascism

Among many other things, what Dr. Kornbluth has done with her strong statement is make it a bit more difficult for _other_ schools to say "yes" to this.

Do you not care about academic freedom the way MIT does?

Do youβ€”unlike MITβ€”want a leg up in research funds instead of competing on the merits?

Oh Andy, you've always been a shitheel but dayum that is some serious bullshit you've got there.

"Ultraviolence?" That's not even a word, you weirdo.

This literally does nothing. You are not beating fascism by dressing up in inflatable suits and dancing

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

Oh, does it benefit the US to provide aid to foreign countries? That would have been good to know back in January and February.

For the record, mockery is a perfectly effective form of resistance against ICE.

They want us to be violent so they can put pictures on Facebook and justify a forceful response with their base. They can't do that with an inflatable unicorn costume.

In the past, the first DHS statement in these situations has been a lie meant to make them look as innocent as possible.

This is an incredibly weak place for them to be. If they end up tear gassing a bunch of librarians and kids in strollers at the family picnic that is No Kings it could trigger the type of support that ends a regime.

I'll see you on the 18th.

this is your fucking job that you're being paid to do. Imagine asking your plumber to stop your dishwasher from flooding your apartment and he's like "well what exactly do you want me to do?" The specifics are your part dog idk!

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

Wow, they are genuinely flabbergasted by a lawful counter to their power! They can call us grandmothers, Antifa or Soros shills, despite not one shred of truth, but what they aren’t counting on is our numbers…

Imagine believing you’re going to secure an eternal American Reich after firing or withholding pay from literally every person you’d need to make that happen.

Children know better, intuitively. They are dumber than children.

The fact that they are still doing the "Soros-paid protestors" bit is just an incredible testimony to the durability of certain tropes to negate the popular will, regardless of the lack of evidence.

Surely the armed centurions will not turn on the ruling politicians who are refusing to pay them while also asking more of them than ever before in ways that run counter to their training, agree the many powerful people who have apparently never read any book on any subject ever.

Step two is making them realize that a strategy organized entirely around winning an election 388 days from now is *risky* not safe. www.offmessage.net/p/how-to-rev...

It starts with shaking off the notion that nobody is coming to save us. Maybe nobody will. But there are surely people who could do more. And step one is to get them to think about their roles in history as much as they think about their quotidian tasks.
