If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

We're living through the direct consequences of what happens when you treat fascism as a difference of opinion in the marketplace of fucking ideas. This kind of shit won't fly like it did in 2014. The only way you remove fascists from your space is by making it fundamentally unsafe for fascists.

If you're at a bar and only ONE NAZI shows up & the owner says they're allowed to be there, then....

Your first response to anyone who runs a site and says this should be “so can I post hentai on here”

That "(including through demonetizing publications)" is a kicker. So they don't just want to let Nazis keep stinking up the place, they want to sell Nazi beer & put up Nazi beer ads on the wall, without opprobrium

There's actually an extremely large scholarly literature about this. With some regularity, dictators order their troops to shoot protestors, the troops are like "wtf no," and then the dictator falls. I'll dig ho and dump some cites below in a second

🧵; we’re in an alarming situation now but there is an established body of research findings on stuff like this and it is better to refer to that than doom in an undisciplined way that keeps us from reacting effectively to the current regime’s assault on democracy

President Trump: “from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why???”

I hate that we need to be reminding people that they don't have to follow orders to abuse (or murder) civilians, but, we do.

Regardless of what we think of the tactics of protestors at any given place and time, we must defend everyone always. Do not be divided by the old trick of distinguishing between “good”and “bad” protesters. (And be mindful of the very real existence of provocateurs. They are usually quite obvious)

For the folks lamenting that "this isn't the America they know." YES, it is. Violence against black and brown bodies is as American as apple pie. #AbolishICE

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.
