Fascists don’t believe in allowing any opposition at all, not even a symbolic one. No matter what you think of the Democratic Party, it will not be allowed to exist under a truly fascistic regime.

What happens in prisons sets the stage for the future we’ll inherit, warned Prism columnist @williamcson.bsky.social. While most of the world has moved away from executions, the U.S. is seeking innovative ways to kill. Death penalty states hoard drugs that could save lives & instead kill prisoners.

Aye! It’s at 48%! Keep sharing and supporting. I think about all the millions organizations have made on the backs of those who took the streets. It’s shame they have to crowdfund for resources. But here we are so let’s give what we can.

We will always have critiques of others in our proximity, but it’s wise to be strategic about when and how we raise issues with one another. (imo, better to focus on collective & individual action on human & civil rights threats and violations. Infighting just ain't it for effective anti-fascists)🔥

“Understand that whether you’re on the payroll or not, by engaging in the reality TV-like, cultish, chaotic conflict culture driving the online left, you’re cooperating with and actively aiding authorities.” Just left my job in cybersecurity over the surveillance of it all… This is accurate.

Online leftism is a powerful system of self-surveillance that effectively captures & counters righteous anger. People who want to fight fascism have to actually fight it & not be consumed by timeline wars, leftist influencer rage bait & manipulation by outside forces, warns @williamcson.bsky.social.

Despite the guardrails that were meant to keep Germany from repeating its Nazi history, the far-right AfD has brought fascism back to the polls. Last month, @williamcson.bsky.social warned us that governing fascism is a losing game: “Unrelenting oppression has to be met with unrelenting resistance.”
Pragmatic governance will not defeat fascism
Some people act as if they have to work with fascism, letting it grow into the unstoppable beast that will devour them
