I noticed something weird about the mainstream media's coverage of the campaign of violent threats that have intimidated Target into removing some items from their Pride collection and moving displays to the back of the store: Words like extremism, far-right, terrorism, and violence aren't appearing anywhere in these article.

I conducted multiple Google news searches to be sure and nope, it doesn't seem like the media is accurately covering this as far-right terrorism.

Media Avoids “Terror” for Violent Campaign Against Pride Displays — Assigned

Far-right violence and threats are reaching into retail giant Target, intimidating the retailer into removing merch and moving Pride displays to the back of their stores after a far-right misinformation campaign made up lies about "tuck-friendly" underwear for children.

The larger picture is one of far-right violence aimed at imposing a white supremacist theocracy on the country, with the mainstream media normalizing and denying it.

If you think Americans won't stand for this then tell me, where's the red line? When are the good people of this country going to start standing up against #fascism.

@e_urq FWIW I am aware of individuals who have been organizing against the encroachment of #fascism - if you feel the call to stand up, there are affinity groups out there that you can join. The problem is that the FBI & police consider them a threat so they have to keep a very low profile. Keep an eye out at #PRIDE events 😉✌

@e_urq Amen, brother! 11 people, nationally (!?), are responsible for most of the banned books. Outrageous. We can only be tyrannized by the minority if we let them.
