They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.
My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

This is the seed to a new movement and parallel education structure.
It won't put participants in lifelong student debt. Or be subject to attacks on diversity.

Please see Mickey 17 in a theater. For some reason Warner Bros is doing a terrible job at promoting this film. We need more political satire in all forms of art right now. Anti capitalist/colonialist sentiments while still maintaining some levity is how we just might get through the next four years.
