For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Step 0. Everyone needs to take step 0. What is your step 0? Do you believe in an expendable class of people? Do you believe the land is none of your business? Do you believe in owning property? Do you believe suffering is inevitable? Do you believe children have nothing to teach?

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

I know the temptation to eye roll is strong but keep in mind that republicans, who have had a monopoly on state government for a generation, get A LOT of traction blaming TX city governments, mostly run by dems, for the state’s problems.

I low-key think a lot of working class MAGA is ok with being fucked over because they view the people who lost their jobs as better off than them, and are happy to see them taken down a peg, despite the fact that they are the people who keep this country running.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Something to note. The Proud Boys are at the Capitol today and Trump wore a yellow tie. Black and yellow are proud boy colors. It's very clear that he views them as his personal militia that will mete out political violence. "stand back and stand by."
