The proud boys and oath keepers are not independent groups. They’re the armed wing of the Republican Party.
They can’t rely on the military to push their political agenda domestically so they are building their own.
We need to get guns out of politics before the extreme polarization we have erupts into mass violence. On our current path every city will become Kenosha but worse.
Our generation must defend the constitution as our leaders have pledged- yet many have failed to do.

We must be the leaders we needed but had far too few of.
That’s why I’m doing everything I can to get candidates like @MaxwellFrostFL @NabeelaforIL and many others elected.

We could give $100,000 to every one of the 500,000 homeless in the the US. it would cost $50,000,000,000 or approx 7% of the annual amount we spend on our military and we would still be spending more than the next three countries combined.
I’m not a housing policy expert- but you don’t have to be to see how fucked up our priorities are.
I’m not advocating this is how we go about solving homelessness as I’m not an expert but I say it to provide some perspective on why the cost argument is largely bullshit. Especially considering the 7% goes mostly to bullshit PMCs and companies that produce shit equipment.

Do we want to focus on making progress or do we want to make everyone happy? Every single day we are out messaged and out organized. We can continue with the delusional optimism that’s brought us here or we can address the fact that as it stands- we are our own worst enemy.
The lack of self awareness is truly insane. How can people expect to build a completely new system and society if they can’t even run their own organizations?
Progressives need to do some real reflection on how we can be a movement that brings people in rather than pushing the few we already have out.

We need leadership and unity.

Guns turned what could have been a fistfight into a shootout. At every turn guns made this situation go from violent to deadly.
Don’t forget the police knew that there were armed civilians down the road who the police made the decision to push the protesters towards. They made that decision- to push the protesters several blocks down the street bringing both groups into close contact.
One militia member has even been cited as saying that allegedly a police officer told them that they (the cops) were going to move the protesters down the street and that the militia could “handle them”

No one, no single student, parent, political party, organization, senator or president is going to save us. We have to save us by all doing our part and working together to address the challenges of our time.
Raise your hand if you’re here to save us

I would say I’m glad I’m not on Elon Musks comms team but I think it’s pretty clear at this point he fired all of them.
I was younger- I considered becoming an aerospace engineer. It was fucking amazing seeing spacex rockets from my house literally come back from space and land themselves.
It sucks to see how much of the hard work so many employees have done to innovate in space travel and other areas is being erased more and more by Elon’s stupid tweets.

Fuck corruption and the system that enables it
Fuck war and using the people as Canon fodder to protect the wealth of men that never gave a fuck about us.

Our real enemy are the men who arm both sides of conflict, lobby for war, kill millions then profit enormously from the blood of the innocent.
Then guess who has to pay for it? WE DO.
Either through taxes and/or inflation and massive debt from + the interest that we’ll be paying off for decades after the corrupt men that started that conflict are long gone.
