This is important; people need to know what they’re signing on for should the allow TFG and his backers to take the White House.

Canada needs to understand this plan as well, since the current Conservatives have similar goals for Canada, they’re just keeping about them.

This is fine. :thisisfine:

JK, this is fucking ridiculous and the NYT still manages to downplay.

An "Appeal to Heaven" is not for a more "Christian-minded governement", it's a stated desire for .

Solidarity with academic workers striking at University of California, Santa Cruz against police repression of campus Gaza protests! And with the 48,000 academic workers, at 11 UC campuses, who have just authorized a statewide strike vote.

Meanwhile the UC has filed an unfair labor practices complaint with the NLRB, claiming it's unlawful to strike over issues that aren't "labor related." But how is it not "labor related" when the UC is firing and disciplining teachers for expressing solidarity with Palestine? How is it not "labor related" when they're using the police to create a violent and disruptive environment in their workplaces?

@MikeDunnAuthor Seems deeper than just an issue with and the , although is that as well. The response of so many institutions of higher education shows the overwhelmingly bedrock at the base of the US Republic.

Sadly, it is pretty clear the US is no longer a single country with shared values and beliefs.

What do my fellow antifascists think about this tactic?

I think it could be surprisingly effective, for those of us who grew up in it. Providing you've dealth with any enough for it not to trigger you.

    are busy classifying and as Level IV controlled substances. That puts them on par with some illegal narcotics, and criminalizes their possession with prison time.

    The law exempts pregnant women from prosecution, but will make Louisiana the only state to classify these safe and effective drugs as "dangerous drugs of abuse."

    I grew up in a pentecostal evangelical church full of people "speaking in tongues" & getting "slain in the spirit".

    I think this ability to deny reality is key to the movement to function. Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to bust this bubble.

    Maybe we can figure it out together.

    The Texas Border Standoff Is an Acute Crisis with Terrifying Implications

    Is this how America ends? Echoes of nullification crises and Civil War, and the dissolution of the Union.

    @tzimmer_history The warnings about the dissolution of the Republic have been in the material I have been reading since at least the early 2000s. I remember in particular one reference to a Russian Academic's predictions which seem to have been prescient. (Long since forgotten his name.)

    IMO, this has long been the plan of the far right , crowd that views Putin as a hero of the white race.
