"Strongmen" by @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social is an invaluable read right now. The whole playbook we're seeing in the US is laid bare for all of us to see.

"On Tyranny" & "On Freedom" by @timothysnyder.bsky.social are also both must reads given the current moment.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

The more they try to intimidate and divide us

The more we will overwhelm them with compassion and joy

MAGA’s tactics of fear and hatred will always succumb to our movement of acceptance and love

There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.

Whether it’s in Chicago, where restaurant and hotel owners have declined to let ICE agents use their facilities; showing up at protests (wink wink, don’t forget about No Kings on Sat); calling your representatives; or stepping in to help a neighbor targeted by the Trump admin, every act matters.

These may seem like small actions, but together they define what America truly stands for. Every action pushes the line of resistance forward.

A lot of people wonder how companies like IBM, Ford, Coca Cola, and General Electric got away with supporting Nazi Germany in their genocidal war.

This is how. Companies have always taken profits, wherever it comes from, no matter what atrocities they are enabling. Fascism is built on corporations.

Again, every time this happens, we literally have no idea if the masked, plainclothes people are actual government agents, or private citizens acting in party-affiliated paramilitaries. The whole point of IDs & uniforms & no masks is that we know these things.
