And will likely be commended for their actions.

I wish I knew what to do about this shit. As one person anything I do seems futile. I can't even convince family members that they're on the wrong side...

Organize rapid response networks in your neighborhood.

Do what Mnpls did and STOP THEM.

It was time to stop wringing hands and wondering how to stop this a month ago. Three months ago. A year ago.

Politeness politics and tactic policing is not just complicity, it's actively assisting the fascist regime.

Move on and find more militant tactics NOW.

It's almost too late. Get moving while you still can.

Conservatives: “It was his fault for… for… um… having legs.”

That’s horrible :(

I believe this to be true but I'd like to see more of the event and less of the ground.

And where the fuck are the angry masses that should be forcing them to stop?

Fuck all liberals all the way to kingdom fucking come. Indivisible? Elected officials? Letter-writing campaigns? Voting smarter?

Give me a fucking break—that's how we got where we are now.

Grow a spine and intervene. Become militant leftists NOW, or it will soon be too late FOR ALL OF US.

And if you can't fight back, at least ORGANIZE and support people who can.

Better dead than a fascist collaborator, any fucking day.

Uhh huh anyone who's not jumping straight to violence is a collaborator.

Lemme ask you a question, you exist why aren't you our Atticus of this generation huh?
