It is interesting watching right-wing influencers respond to the protests spreading out from LA and the way they describe it as a great betrayal of the nation.
Many of the same influencers support the January 6th insurrectionists who Trump pardoned who tried to overturn an election.

Fascists take advantage of the white middle class’s and white moderates’ fear of the Left, leveraging their terror of losing money and status to pull them into a relationship with the Right in order to take over institutions and continue destroying democracy.

We’ve seen it for years now.

The best thing about #TeslaTakedown is that when one Jenga brick starts falling, it starts taking out others, and soon the entire wobbly tower is coming down around Elon's ears.

Climate campaigners have defeated this before — and we will fight back again.

When politicians like Keir Starmer claim there is no money, it is always worth recalling what money actually is.

It seems to me demands on social scientists to do practice oriented research is a form of intellectual centrism, suggesting research is only useful if it can be used by institutions in their current form.
