Surviving fascism depends on effective resistance. But can civilians defeat fascists armed with anything from drones to nukes? The answer is yes. This growing collection of threads explains what you can do, based on a decade of research. If you doubt that all this is necessary read the thread below:
🧵A thread to help Americans understand what they are up against. I'm an American citizen who grew up in GA as a person with dark skin, and who has lived in Europe for some time. Anglo-Saxon white supremacy and European-style fascism share a common history. But I have also observed key differences:
The Anglo-Saxon white supremacy Americans are familiar with has merged with Continental-European fascism. This takes any traditional American resistance strategies out of the picture. Passive damage mitigation, protests, political organizing, hoping to just ride it out, will not work. 1/

The Democrats prefer order to liberty they would rather you quietly sit back while the Gestapo takes your neighbors and then vote for them in November so they can make the Gestapo 18.3% less violent on average than see you fight and stop ICE's ethnic cleansing

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

This kind of thing is a double defeat.

Not only do you settle without getting anything new.

You also concede the reality that they've been acting illegally to the false claim it's all been legal until now.

We’re closing our AHA offices tomorrow because we refuse to normalize federal agents killing people and calling it enforcement.

ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.
yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.
I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

This is unconscionable. Evil.

But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president.

So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.

She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.

This isn't capitulation they just believe this shit. Beneath the grand pronouncements liberalism and social democracy both are based on the violence of the state; the maintenance of border and race and class and gender by men with guns

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"

"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"

Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Also a full 2/3 of the US population falls in the CBP border zone, and they still showed up in Minneapolis even though it's not by "leasing" CBP agents as independent deputies for ICE. This isn't just a nothingburger, it's a cruel joke.

Considering there are over a thousand accounts of sexual assault by ICE, women defending themselves from ICE "agents" by whatever means at their disposal falls squarely in the justification of "self defense".
Two women have been charged with biting the fingers of U.S. Border Patrol officers moments after federal agents fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis over the weekend near the scene of an immigration enforcement action.

The biting occurred while the women struggled with the agents, according to the charges.

For the millionth fucking time the problem with fossil gas is that it destroys the climate not that we’re missing out on public revenue. For a bunch of smart people the Australia Institute is being wilfully and ecocidally stupid with this campaign. And yes I’ve already pointed this out politely 🤦🏻
Australia Institute research shows that nurses pay more tax than gas and oil companies.

Meanwhile, multinational gas companies get 56% of our gas for free and then export it overseas.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

It’s obviously a move to save face—but is there really any saving face after the disappearances, public executions, maiming, killing and other terror?
