@Wyatt_H_Knott He was literally killed (state sanctioned assasinated) for asserting his second amendment rights. Im any other age this would have infuriated the conservatives, but because daddy Trump is in office they act like no rights were violated, even their precious gun rights they hold so dear and god ordaned/sacred.
Do whatever you can to push back against this even if its just making noise/being heard about it. Protesting is the best though.
Remember not doing anything because "others will", "it's not effecting me", "what could I possibly do" or continuing the status quo is what Germany did until it was to late.

Because it's apparently especially relevant TODAY:

"The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism.”

EDIT
In replies, @ricardoharvin points out that barbarism has always been present in the USA.

He's absolutely right, and I appreciate the gentle, plain, but firm reminder.

Anybody with doubts about the need to end wokeness should watch this video:

Not a single person called the police.

This is what the prelude to genocide looks like - future leaders ready to sign their own Nuremberg Laws and open up death camps - and it is here right now.

Remember the House Un-American Activities Committee? This time the only house involved is the White House.

The Trump administration has now made it clear (re: Mahmoud Kalil) that they classify opposing the war in Gaza, even through [Constitutionally-protected 1st Amendment] speech, as an act of terror.

"We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it."

Yes, It Can Happen Here. And the Movies Warned Us

We've had decades of movies about fascism, but "I'm Still Here" demonstrates that they now hit home in a newly chilling way.

Thanks to Aaron Rupar for bringing us the lowlights of tonight's rally and h/t to David Todd McCarty for his timely link to Marshall Curry's documentary on the Nazi rally at the same place in 1939 -- the parallels are frightening. This short film, A NIght at the Garden, is chilling.

...from a certain religion and that moral code turns into legislation to suit one certain religious point of view, and if that code happens to be very very right wing, almost toward Attila the Hun..." then that, he says, moves into fascist theocracy.

He said this on CNN Crossfire in 1986.

NINETEEN-EIGHTY-SIX.

The man was an unabashed prophet with a long reach that mattered. I suspect we lost something incalculably valuable when cancer took him in 1993.
