In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Just witnessed Chicagoans following this undercover ICE vehicle (Black pick-up truck) heading south on Ashland honking their horns incessantly and alerting everyone that ICE was coming.

Thank God we are cutting medicaid so we can afford to deport people and cut taxes. The bibles in the classroom will be a beautiful backdrop to children being ziptied. I know Jesus said to care for the poor and needy and the foreigners among you, but real Christians do the opposite.

Tired of witnessing the unspeakable evil that is our immigration system and its enforcement and then being told that I’M the one who’s out of touch for thinking that kids with cancer shouldn’t waste away in squalid dungeons because their parents were born on the wrong side of this rock.

Yeah. So. This was the right call.
My big plan this weekend is to watch wildlife cams, listen to yacht rock, and dissociate.⛵️

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.”

48 hours ago I was on a call with another political writer and we were discussing how Trump likely feels it is too early to declare martial law because the goal of doing so is to cancel the midterms. We discussed how Trump needs a big event elsewhere to eject from his LA intervention.
Iran, I said.

Incidentally my research for my next novel consists of civil disobedience, the rise of Putin, authoritarianism in the US, nonviolent intervention, and surviving the surveillance state. It in no way has anything to do with what's happening in the world 👀 🤣

You don't come for our students. I don't care who you are. Those are our babies.
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

It's the Washington Monument in the background that really takes this to next-level dystopian
NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.
They departed Texas 5 days ago.
What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

If anyone wants to boycott American authors because of what Trump is doing, I encourage you instead to support authors who are writing anti-fascist books and doing their best to write stories that bring us together in fighting for the people who are most vulnerable.
Please uplift those voices.

Somebody I follow who is not in the US has questioned whether it is ethical for him to continue to buy book written by US authors and I'm like . . . most of us are victims of this regime, not supporters. 😥😕

I would love to join an author group message or discord of authors who write character-driven science fiction and fantasy. Especially with some romance mixed in. Does anyone out there want to be writerly friends? I need more friends in my specific genre.
