It’s true that sometimes the law holds back Trump and affords us some semblance of safety.
But the more we lean into the law as our shield, the more powerful it will become as a sword when Trump changes it in his favor and wields it against us.
Only mass antifascism, legal or not, can save us.

Apple just confirmed it has shipped 3 BILLION iPhones worldwide SINCE 2007. For context in terms of scale, the combined net worth of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos is currently over $655 BILLION. Tax the rich!

It didn’t take a crystal ball to predict we’d end up at this point. All it took was a willingness to listen, take fascists at their word, and not escape into denial because it felt better and allowed people to think they could just keep on living lives of privilege.

W.E.B. Du Bois, Harvard’s best grad, said that it took him 90 years to become conscious of himself as a member of the working class. May we get there more quickly. Academics everywhere: join a union or build a union, and if you can’t do either, then organize your coworkers and act like a union.

A thing press institutions REALLY need to internalize is that 1000x more people will see the headline than read the article. If the headline leaves a false impression, but the article sets it straight, it doesn’t matter. You are spreading misinformation.
The framing from legacy media on the Ms Rachel stuff is insane. Nowhere do they say that these are baseless claims, or that what she said (every child's life is precious and worthy) is not "Hamas propaganda." If u didn't know the background to this story and saw this post, you'd believe their smear

The absolute glee some are displaying in blaming Palestinians, and people who protested on their behalf, for their own ethnic cleansing is a strategic error (obvs you target the decision maker), a political error (obvs you need those votes), and a moral error (obvs fix your hearts or die).
