We’ve Got This: Against the Advance of Authoritarianism

There is a lie that flourishes in periods of political decay. It tells us that this is all unfortunate but manageable, ugly but temporary, alarming but ultimately self-correcting. This lie is soothing. It is also lethal.

That was not my experience when living in DR Congo, Sudan or Mali, but things were different when traveling to South Africa, Kenya and other more touristic/business friendly countries.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

John Fund: Winners and losers in the Kavanaugh confirmation fight In assessing who comes out ahead or behind after the Kavanaugh firestorm, let’s acknowledge that in some ways we don’t know: the midterm elections a month from now have become more chaotic and uncerta...

The ribbon is more subtle for sure but that is not necessarily a bad thing, and wearable everywhere, all the time!

There is this excellent t-shirt. pmpress.org/index.php?l=... And I wear it as often as I can but it is not really daily wear! I did find occasion to wear it to work once, when doing a house-building project with my students, but otherwise it only gets seen at the grocery story or at demos.

As the mayor, I'll be standing up for Jewish New Yorkers and I'll be meeting them wherever they are across the five boroughs, whether that's in their synagogues and temples or at their homes or at the subway platform. Because ultimately we need to focus on delivering on their concerns.

One Million Rising: One Million Trained, Millions More Empowered · No Kings Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and ...

I am Canadian. The funny thing about “having to decide” is that we never get asked to. That’s the point with kings. And that’s why the US protests were given that title.

No kings?

Exactly the point but with the examples provided in the post: blocking a door isn't violence, shooting someone with a rubber bullet is.

Listen to this first hand account for another example. Were an LEO in LA to face this level of physical danger from a protestor you would not need to scour bsky to find the story. bsky.app/profile/jima...

Protests over immigration raids are popping up across the US with more planned Protests that sprang up in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement raids are beginning to spread across the country.

Especially when violence gets defined so asymmetrically that shooting rubber bullets at a reporter is ok but blocking a door is labeled as violence: "The protest was initially peaceful but protesters began putting scooters in front of building entryways" apnews.com/article/immi...

Depends on how you define "terrorist," but if armed robbery for political ends is included, then look up Los Macheteros.

You only listed 11. Add Republic of Congo.

Just heard the chat - impressive! I signed the card a while back and would love to have some visible way to demonstrate and subtly model the commitment to others on a day to day basis. Imagining a green/red/whatever ribbon to get folks asking after it, and to build a visible community of commitment.

Dazzling northern lights display captured on video: Watch enchanting time-lapse footage The northern lights were visible across the United States in about 20 states. See remarkable time-lapse footage of the stunning phenomenon.

Arguably, American science and education was in trouble before Trump decided to deal the death blows. USA Today just published this: “Northern lights can be safely viewed without a telescope or microscope.” www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
