Whatever your capacity, offer resistance. You don’t have to be out in the streets (and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise), but you can resist. Progressives cities need a lot of help right now — not just MN — and every bit helps.

In small town Wisconsin, we had a teacher who it was said (later proved in court) was being directly profiled and stalked by he police. He was black (Tortugan) married to a white teacher. As high schoolers most thought it was “over-reacting.” He was a loud, mouthy leftist.

Everything the mainstream media considers a "radical left-wing belief" is a compromise position. The actual radical beliefs are things we can't discuss because they're too far outside the Overton Window for most people to understand.

These people are so unserious AND are clearly being punished into this line of reaction. NO ONE (and please feel free to find me a case that says otherwise) was punished in this same way for absolutely going bananas excited when Kissinger died. No one. This is what literal censorship looks like.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.

A four-panel comic.

Panel 1: A guy looks in on a lady who's crying and says, "Hey, is everything okay?"

She replies, "It's just... the Bone Farmer... he died."

Panel 2: He: "He was that thing that would break into people's homes and steal their skeletons while they slept, right?"

She: "So sad."

Panel 3: They are looking at a picture of what I would describe as an interdimensional monster with way too many eyes and teeth. And a bowtie.

She: "I mean obviously: IDEOLOGICALLY I didn't agree with him. With regards to skeleton ownership. But his smart li'l bowtie!"

He: "You have to admire his tenacity for a cause he BELIEVED IN!"

Panel 4: A man in a gigantic glass jar whose body appears to be pretty much just a shapeless lump resting on the bottom of it, obviously missing a skeleton: "Gonna have to disagree with you folks here."

The first guy: "Too SOON, Geoff!"
