Call it what it is: fascist. More than half of America understands this reality, and MN and so many other communities are leading the way in showing us how to fight back.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

The attack on DC is not merely an attempt to intimidate, silence & control this vibrant, Black led city. That alone merits our collective outrage. It is also an attack on dissent itself - as DC is the center of protest, of people exercising our freedoms to speak against this regime.
