Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have condemned a raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as “deeply disturbing” and accused the Trump administration of a “rogue abuse of power” just weeks ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Let’s see if they do anything besides strong words and maybe some paddles.

    I may not be able to slay the entire dragon, but I can encourage my fellow antifascists to act.

    Just because we act alone, it doesn’t mean we are alone in the fight. Whether a resistor’s taste is subtly lethal or violently overt, there are countless ways to resist fascism locally.

    Conservatives are a wide-spread infestation. They are relatives. They are colleagues. They are neighbors. Be discrete. Be merciless. Be prolific.

      That is a huge part of the problem.

      It will take group action, not individual action* to fix what is wrong with the USA.

      And sustained group action at that.

        I wish I could see that happening, but there is simply no social media platform that will allow us to organize violent resistance against a violent enemy.

          MLK didn’t need a social media platform.

          Go talk to people in the real world.
