I know it's hard to get through the din of social media and the neverending flood of breaking news.

BUT LISTEN.

An armed Right Wing militia shot a protester last night in New Mexico.

The shooter was a former GOP candidate and the Party retracted a critique after discovering it
There is SO MUCH happening right now that is getting lost. We cannot afford to let these paramilitary goons operate with impunity and in the shadows.

White terrorism is America's greatest threat and when these people thrive is when a country falls.
The confrontation was over a SPANISH conquistador statue.

It was an explicit symbol of the oppression of people of color.

These armed goons are going to continue escalating these situations and people are going to get killed.
The Republican Party and law enforcement have been working hand-in-hand with these white supremacists for so, so long, and in this moment of losing power they're going to lean on them even more.

This isn't paranoia, it's how these things work. History shows us.
There is a very, very clear cycle to all of this, and for the Right to continue stoking violence, talking about the 2nd Amendment, urging people to take matters into their own hands, it's going to lead to more and more violence and a continued erosion of the law.
