A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

The fascists are playing the opposition and the media aiding them. Masked ICE agents, LAPD in riot gear, the FBI, and the U.S. Marshals Service all beating down, bashing, and gassing people in Los Angeles. These aren't deportation raids. It's the outright flex of fascist power on US citizens.
