Protests aren’t the only tool in the anti-authoritarian toolkit, but they’re incredibly important. Protests help us see each other; they make it feel safer to refuse to obey the dictator, and make it more possible for us to organize mass non-cooperation.
It’s an essential step in the process.

Meiselas: Steve Witkoff, was allegedly in Moscow while he was on this group chat. Do you believe the Russians now have all of that information and potentially more?
Rice: Well, yes—the Russians have whatever Witkoff was doing or saying on his personal cell phone. The Russians undoubtedly have it.

Back in November, @niemanlab.org published this article full of lessons from journalists in authoritarian regimes. I had hoped journalists would heed these lessons, but the early signs are not good. I simply don't think most American outlets are equipped to cover authoritarianism.

Remember the Christian Right goon squads in #ParableOfTheSower? Well here we are. Released J6 insurrectionists get their guns back and are now empowered to use them against citizens to back a fascist government. I wish it were only science fiction but it’s reality now.

Did Costco just reset the narrative around DEI?
In contrast to a slew of companies, the warehouse retailer has forcefully rejected an anti-DEI shareholder proposal as bad for business.
