I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Absolutely horrified by the politically motivated attack on two Minnesota state lawmakers. Praying for the Hortman and Hoffman families. Political violence has no place in our society and those who commit it must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

When people see immigrants as their classmates, students, playmates, neighbors, and friends, they become inoculated to dehumanizing rhetoric and violence demanded by racial authoritarianism. This is why public schooling, and the public sphere as a whole, under fascism is a threat to be conquered.

Public opinion about immigration is complicated. Public opinion about sending federal agents into K12 schools searching for children is not. Such actions are broadly condemned across the political spectrum.

I actually think that ridiculing fascists by being cool and doing silly things despite their efforts to look tough is a viable and effective strategy. You can win the propaganda war by flooding media with images like this.
