This is a fascist authoritarian regime, but they didn't have to borrow this tactic from Putin. Look up how authorities talked about the Civil Rights Movement. Or talk to anyone in the US who has been characterized as a professional activist or outside agitator when they successfully made waves ever.
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

this reminds me of the way i’ve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you aren’t allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

I can’t stop thinking about the 2 year old baby. About the 5 year old preschooler. About how scared they must have been and still are. About how traumatic it is to rip kids from their families. About how this happens all the time in our communities, through ICE, through the family policing system.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is.

"That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."

People who are saying it’s crazy to stock up for a storm don’t realize:
- it might take days to get out
- people can be without power for a long time
- you might be able to get out but it might be dangerous to drive or too cold to take public transit
- chance favors the prepared
