This post uses a gift link, but some people do seem to be prompted to register. I can’t change SF Chronicle policy about that. They also have a history of sending lawyers after people who post archive.today links to their articles, so whatever you do, don’t plug the URL into that site.
You haven’t been paying attention have you? The government wants violence to justify them taking away more rights and gaining more power. Everything they’re doing so far is under the made up emergencies because of made up threats. These actions can be challenged in court.
If there were real violent actions they’d have real power not the phony power they have now based on phony claims of violence.
Who’s side are you on? The things you’re saying serve to help the fascists. One unhinged loner does violence and you get what? Another Charlie Kirk kind of thing? What did that accomplish?
Right now it’s a time to organize. Not organize online, that’s bullshit since the powers that be mostly have control over. Organize face to face with people in your community. If only there were some event happening where people could do that…
The Charlie Kirk thing failed not because it was violent, but because it targeted someone who was ultimately a nobody who held no real power. Target people who actually have power and we’d have much better results.
