This, nested threads.

Also: Seriously, everybody, read Lundy Bancroft’s Why Does He Do That? and Rachel Snyder’s No Visible Bruises because you need 101s in relationship abuse to get through the next few years.

Fascism is just intimate partner terrorism & coercive control writ large.
The abusive relationship parallels to the current political milieu continue to be striking—good thread below. I’ll also add that fact-checking or trying to explain in these situations does NOT shift their narrative. They’re targeting you because they want to do so, NOT because they misunderstand.
I feel like anyone who has dealt with abusers know this: at a certain point, you need to build an impenetrable barrier between your inner world & what they say about you. The more wrapped up you get in their version of events, how they’ve twisted the narrative, etc., the more energy they suck away.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Read @jackiefmogensen.bsky.social's whole dispatch from the whole march:

The organizers call for reversing those measures—ending “censorship and political interference in science,” securing and expanding scientific funding, and defending diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in science.

Umberto Eco put together a now-famous list of 14 attributes of fascistic states. I'm going to discuss each of them in hopes this helps ppl understand that fascism is not just a buzzword. We're going to go through these by theme, so strap in. 🧵
