It’s not “just words” anymore. It never fucking was. These are literal nazis. Fascists. White supremacists. Antisemites. They’re dangerous. They’re violent. They’re fucking thriving and they have the police in their back pocket.
This is what antifa is against. This is what we want to stop. This is what this liberal nonsense about “hearing them out” enables. They don’t want to listen.
Whether we’re ready or not, this is the reality we’re facing.
We need to stand up for once and have some conviction towards protecting Jewish people, people of color, and all the other marginalized groups they intend to harm.

They are taking away every good thing you have stood for.
They are looking to enrich the corporate military complex.
They’re taking away your access to affordable healthcare.
They are introducing fascist policies, dividing families, empowering white supremacists and wasting taxpayer money for their personal use.
They’ve introduced a eugenics bill requiring employers to collect DNA – weeding out the ‘undesirables.’
They are flaunting this in the world’s face, knowing the mess will take years to correct, if ever.
It’s only taken them two months to do all of this damage.
“Imagine if people had been going ‘don’t fight hate with hate’ back when Hitler was around.”
Fam…let me tell you bout Poland.
Let me tell you about how the entire rest of Europe sat ack and watched the invasion of Poland because they thought it would be “improper” to send military aid. How they were unwilling to enforce the treaties that Germany was breaking, because that would make them “just as bad.” They sat back and wrote strongly worded letters while fascists grew in power because they didn’t want to dirty their hands. They thought reasonable discussion and politics would be enough to stop a fascist dictator from rising to power.
Spoiler alert: it wasn’t enough.
like yes, people literally did try that argument then too.
Everywhere there’s fascists there are fascist apologists hiding under the guise of pacifism, ready to enable their shit and demonize resistance.
Across the country on Saturday, Planned Parenthood health centers saw coordinated protests staged by abortion opponents.
But in New York City, the counter-protesters got up earlier, beating the anti-abortion faction at their own game.
By 9 a.m., an hour before the “Protest PP” rally was scheduled to begin, substantial crowds of Planned Parenthood advocates had assembled directly across from the Margaret Sanger Center in downtown Manhattan, staking out the prime real estate usually occupied by anti-abortion factions.
They dwarfed the handful of the Protest PP demonstrators, who, by 11 a.m., numbered perhaps two dozen. Read more. (2/11/17, 6:13 PM)
Trump was the candidate so weak that his victory needed the disenfranchisement of millions of voters of colour, the end of the Voting Rights Act, a long-running right-wing campaign to make Clinton’s use of a private email server, surely the dullest and most uneventful scandal in history, an epic crime and the late intervention, with apparent intent to sabotage, of the FBI director James Comey. We found out via Comey’s outrageous gambit that it is more damaging to be a woman who has an aide who has an estranged husband who is a creep than actually to be a predator who has been charged by more than a dozen women with groping and sexual assault.
Hillary Clinton was all that stood between us and a reckless, unstable, ignorant, inane, infinitely vulgar, climate-change-denying white-nationalist misogynist with authoritarian ambitions and kleptocratic plans. A lot of people, particularly white men, could not bear her, and that is as good a reason as any for Trump’s victory. Over and over again, I heard men declare that she had failed to make them vote for her. They saw the loss as hers rather than ours, and they blamed her for it, as though election was a gift they withheld from her because she did not deserve it or did not attract them. They did not blame themselves or the electorate or the system for failing to stop Trump.
This would be a huge blow for the people who fought for more than seven years against the project, a transnational pipeline that would extend from Canada to the Gulf Coast. The venture was killed by President Obama in 2015 because it would contribute to climate change and deter American efforts to reach a global deal addressing this issue.
This is all true. This all happened in Canada, and its very likely it will happen in the USA under Trump and be worse than Harper’s crackdown on Science ever was.
