they don’t realize how they are the foil of the republican party, not the opposite. they are just as resistant to meaningful change, just as quick to silence or hurt minorities to protect their own comfort. they share the same reactionary mindset so the result is the same: political violence.

Mayor Johnson: There are those in this country that have decided, at the behest of this president, to declare war on Chicago and American cities across this country. They have clearly decided that they want a rematch of the Civil War. We will not submit to the authoritarianism that is coming down.

The thing about No Kings the GOP doesn't seem to get isn't that we hate you as much as it is that we recognize you for what you are.

You're a threat. You're a threat to our lives, our livelihoods, our families, our friends.

We WILL drive you out of power. You haven't given us any other choice.

the most popular and widespread form of theft is wage theft from employers. the fact that your employer can call the police if you steal from them but you can't call the police if they steal your wages, should tell you almost everything you need to know about the police and their function in society
