When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

"Hamas started it" tells me you know absolutely nothing about the so-called "Israeli Palestinian conflict" and your research has consisted of a half hour of watching CNN. No, Hamas didn't start it. Palestine has been under illegal, brutal occupation for decades, and the US enables that occupation.

I love that people are like “well communist is too scary we can’t use that word because of xyz” Comrade in Christ the first paragraph of the manifesto explains why this is stupid. The whole specter haunting thing. That’s literally what it’s about. Communists need to not let others define them.

I have lived in authoritarianism before, and participated in a popular movement against it. My political voice was born in it. I was just talking to a friend - this moment is triggering because it feels like so few people are reacting on the magnitude of what I know is coming.

making an intentional move soon to downsize our apartment and costs. Idk what the future brings in the US but lower rent means being able to save AND share excess resources. I don't want to be caught by surprise and have a lifestyle that is "too expensive" suddenly.

This is why "citizens to the front" is so important. Increasingly, many people will simply not be able to speak out for fear of losing everything. Those of us who can afford to must.

Khaled is such a kind heart. Please consider donating to my friend and his family in Gaza. I know many Americans feel aimless and not sure how to create impact and help what our government has torn apart. This is a HUGE material way that we can help folks. Donate or share or both 🇵🇸❤️
