The best advice I ever got when I was radicalized is that in order to prevent burnout, you've gotta love more than you hate. Love Jewish people more than you hate Nazis, love trans people more than you hate transphobes, love Black people more than you hate white supremacy. When the fire of your love is what sustains you in fighting for a better world, it cannot go out #radicalized #socialjustice #fuckfascismloveyourfriends
Nice to see @pluralistic on #DemocracyNow today. I’m grateful he got into the weeds about printer ink because it is so characteristic of what’s going on in capitalism/profiteering.

"Unless evidence of violations is presented, such comments undermine the men & women of the #FBI. The FBI invites #DHS to partner in determining the source of any leaked information & working together professionally to ensure the safety & security of ongoing #immigration enforcement operations," it said.
"The FBl is so corrupt. We will work with any & every agency to stop leaks & prosecute these crooked deep state agents to the fullest extent of the law," #KristiNoem said.
"Making unfounded allegations calling #FBI agents corrupt is deeply irresponsible & has not been supported by any evidence to date," the FBI said in a statement on Friday.

"Radicalized" is a story about America, and about guns, and about health care, and about violence.

"the assassination of #BrianThompson is a wake-up call, a warning that if we don't solve this problem politically, we may not have a choice about whether it's solved with violence. As a character in "#Radicalized" says, "They say violence never solves anything, but to quote The Onion: that's only true so long as you ignore all of human history"

The violent response to #BrianThompson, a CEO who profits obscenely from the torment and suffering of millions of customers.
It didn't need to happen. Those CEOs have had plenty of warning that oppressed people will be pushed only so far before seeking a violent response.
The title short story from collection _Radicalized_, by @pluralistic, details how people are corralled by the physical suffering of family members, exploited by an insurance industry deliberately designed to extract wealth while denying health care, and finally resort to violent terrorism in the absence of any other effective option.
CEOs have had this, and for decades many other, warnings that they must stop the ghoulish practice of denying health care to those who need it, while extracting wealth. A reckoning is coming.
If you are also feeling #radicalized into action, I encourage you to forgive yourself if you do less than you wish you could: because it is too much for any one person — but together, with personal dedication and a community of support and encouragement, I truly believe we can make a difference. "If everyone does a little, no one has to do a lot."
#Trump himself has contributed to that certainty by insisting the only way he can lose is if the other side cheats. There’s little reason for pro-Trump #extremist groups or #radicalized #MAGA fans to demonstrate when they foresee the presumptive #Republican nom coasting to victory over President #Biden in 5 months and positioned to enact promised “#retribution” against his enemies in 7….

Unfortunately, 90 million #fundamentalist #Christians #sympathized with the Falwell-Robertson #apocalyptic #paranoia, and still do. And though they were out of step with the #traditional #RepublicanParty, which embraced #reason and #democracy, the #Party happily accepted the #evangelical #votingbloc.

"Rhett Murry Loftis, a 23-year-old resident of #Weatherford, admits he leads the Parker County Active Club.
“I’m a #fascist, there’s no denying that,” Loftis said in a series of direct messages.
Loftis, a former musician, said he first got active in the #WhiteNationalist movement in 2021 after spending several years lurking on online forums."

I just finished reading #Radicalized by @pluralistic & WOW!
I had been planning on reading one story per night, but couldn't put it down after the first one!
I WAS ALMOST LATE FOR #Monsterdon - that's how damn good it was.
I'm going to have a hard time leaving it in the #LittleFreeLibrary we're setting up at work!
