"The Confederacy was a reactionary semi-feudal regime which sought to destroy the American republic and impose on it an outgrown economic system, Negro chattel slavery."
There you go. One sentence. That was easy.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Those concerned about violence might want to start with violence against immigrants, by ICE here, by illegal deportations to gulags and third countries, the violence against so many federal departments, against the law, the climate, the public lands, waters, civil rights, reproductive rights...

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

But we better learn to multitask. Because we need to also stay focused on this: Trump turned over the staffing, funding & inner workings of our federal agencies to a man who attacked his Treasury Secy & who he tells us is a drug addict.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.
The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.
Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Authoritarians will take advantage of every crisis and every tragedy because they don’t care about human life and their only concern is the accruement of power.
Our only choice is to come together and take care of one another, grieve, grow closer, and refuse to let them divide us.

We’re watching the construction of a society prepared to sacrifice people to eco collapse, to tech disruption, to historic war, to a system that will crash because of intentional inequality.
Everyone is in the crosshairs save for the class doing this. And we need to get hip to that in a hurry.

Again, authoritarianism as a component of capitalism is about shifting from a society of relative privilege to one where it becomes normal that people will needlessly die, that to protest or speak out means risking death or imprisonment.
This has been building for decades.

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.
HHS plans to cut the national suicide hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth
In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.
