If you are on the ground at a protest and not sure if a journalist is safe to talk to, check out our hostile journalist lookbook! Sometimes it takes a minute to load, apologies for any pokeyness.

you have the right to not hang out with assholes. you deserve not to hang out with assholes. you are under 0 obligation to socially interact with assholes in your free time.

it is truly terrible that our culture tricked so many people into thinking that they’re obliged to be friends with assholes!

we have spent the last decade witnessing a national epidemic of “it should be illegal to not hang out with me just because I’m a mean asshole” behavior

I want to add this, because if you haven't been in this situation, maybe you don't know. When a cop in riot gear is shoving you and yelling "GET BACK," there's usually nowhere to actually get back to, because there's a crowd of people behind you and you literally can't move at the pace they want.

state police continue to push protesters down 25th street. at one point, cops swarmed a group of people and pushed them to the ground.

then they came for the ADL and I did not speak, because the ADL was on their side like 5 fucking minutes ago.

Kristofer Goldsmith @krisgoldsmith85.bsky.social · 11d

The FBI just cut ties with the ADL.

Jonathan Greenblatt’s appeasement of fascists didn’t stop them from coming after the ADL—it empowered them to do even more damage.

Appeasement is death. Resistance is survival.

Why Won’t the ADL Learn That You Can't Appease Fascists?

The FBI just cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League. Under Jonathan Greenblatt’s leadership, appeasement hasn’t protected the ADL—it’s empowered the fascists attacking it.

Want to co-sign this as someone who works in philanthropy. Conservative donors and foundations have been willing to invest huge sums for general support, correctly assuming that it would produce long-term gains. The liberal approach to philanthropy has been pretty much the exact opposite.

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Elizabeth Taylor in an 80s press conference speaking on the stigma of AIDS “…And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, Bitch, do something yourself.” from the documentary “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes.”

On one end of the spectrum, ABC tanks your show at the behest of the government; on the other, journalists are thrown in ICE detention, unjustly indicted for “rioting”, batoned in the face with press pass in hand for taking photos (an action Noem and DHS say is “violence”)—and that’s just “media”

ICE claimed the father tried to hit them with his car or that he "dragged" one of the agents. Then bystander video was released showing this was completely false.

ICE executed a man on the street in broad daylight.

Wow. No, there are fairly distinct factions that do not overlap at all. Nuance is important when you are talking about ideology and motive. And in-group shorthand. This is like saying Proud Boys and Blood Tribe are the same thing. There are outliers that straddle both but their worlds barely touch.

Since Trump elected, far-Right has:

💥Killed two at school shooting in Madison.
💥Plot for mass shooting at mosque in Nashville.
💥Suicide bombing in Las Vegas in call for a war led by militias.
💥School shooting in Nashville leaves two dead.

And Republicans want to make 'antifa' a terrorist group.
