I'm back from a week of vacation with a report on the next wave of the Defiance: The Singing Resistance. It's easy to join; it's addictive once you do it; and it converts rage into loving action. Link below: open.substack.com/pub/theconne...
This Machine Quells Fascists
All across the nation, there's a new vibration, spreading from Minneapolis and traveling at the speed of song.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Since I was a child, organisations like the Anne Frank Foundation have told me that what happened to her should be taken as a warning for what could happen in the future. Analogisation isn't just allowed, it is called for.

When is it ok to analogize what we’re experiencing in America now to the rise of the Nazis? And who should be the judge of that? In this week’s post, I examine how the US Holocaust Memorial Museum has gone astray. (1/3)

Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."
🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

War with Venezuela? What is it Good For?
