How Tennessee’s Justice System Allows Dangerous People to Keep Guns — With Deadly Outcomes

Notice that not one of Trump’s defenders in the GOP actually says he is innocent. They just say he is the victim of a politicized system. They are essentially saying that a guilty person shouldn’t be prosecuted when he’s a powerful politician. Who here thinks that’s crap?

I’m frankly surprised to see Mark Meadows’s name among the defendants in Georgia. I thought he was busy cooperating with authorities. I guess that was just Jack Smith, not Fani Willis. Still, RICO is a pretty dangerous charge. He’d best start cooperating with her, too.

I don't know if this is useful to anyone, but it's what I've been turning over in my head.

We are on the edge of such radically different possible futures, there are very few concrete plans to be made.

And it will. Whether it's a Trump victory or a brownshirt and/or accelerationist resurgence as fascism loses its grip on the mainstream GOP, we can expect future bad things.

And also, future good things, maybe. Maybe with a few years we see new young folks rising in new ways.

It's such a wide range of possibilities, and the fascist dictatorship one isn't all that improbable.

And the organizing that will call for isn't organizing that should be done in public, or even by people publicly linked to antifascism under our real names.

We need to be having PRIVATE discussions about what that reality might look like, and how we prepare for it.

And then also, we need to be using this low tide moment to prepare for the possibility of back to whack-a-mole.
