I agree. He's referenced this quoted section from "They'Thought They Were Free" before. I know because I found the idea so remarkable, I had to painstakingly transcribe it so I could show it to others.
I remember asking myself at points over these years of Trump if this was the moment I and those like me around the country were losing the war. It inspired me to try harder and remind myself and others of the need to act.

Listen to It Could Happen Here - Why Fascists Have Adopted A Suicidal Penguin as a Mascot by Cool Zone Media and iHeartPodcasts on Podcast Addict. Garrison explains why the online right are memeing about a penguin who fled its colony to march to its own death, and how this deranged penguin reflects fascism as a suicidal state.

Some of my favorite podcasters went to Minneapolis. The regular news is not covering any of this properly-- but these folks know what they're talking about.
Both are experienced with mutual aid activities such as the hurricane relief efforts in North Carolina, or feeding and helping refugees down at the border in places like Arizona. (One also has a doctorate in history focused on the Spanish Civil War, so knows a few things about how people fight fascism.) The border work is particularly relevant because they've been seeing Border Patrol act like ICE for years-- out in the boonies where hardly anyone is watching-- and now the brutality is finally becoming more apparent to previously comfortable white folks in cities.
This is an excellent description of what's really going on in the places that are getting hit hard right now, and how people are responding-- and, moreover, what WORKS. Decentralized, spontaneous, autonomous organizing that's springing out of the woodwork!
If you want a clearer idea of how this shit can be handled, how communities react, and so on, this is the kind of coverage we need.

Margaret and James reflect on their time in Minnesota, the incredible community response to the immigration raids, and what other communities can learn from the Twin Cities.

@[email protected]'s #CoolPeopleWhoDidCoolStuff podcast and #CoolZoneMedia's #ItCouldHappenHere did a crossover two-parter covering how successful the mutual aid #IceOut protests and community protection has been. It's quite hopeful coverage.
