🇺🇸21 million Americans support the use of violence to restore Trump to power. They are active and dangerous:

-2 million of them have attended a protest since Jan 6 attack.
-4 million have prior military service.
-8 million own guns.

Insurrectionists are not only older and better educated than your typical right-wing extremist, but also far less likely to have a criminal record and far less inclined to associate with militia groups, and white nationalist groups.

The economic profile of the 716 people arrested or charged over the 6 Jan attack is representative of mainstream America – with more than half employed in white collar occupations, including CEOs, architects, lawyers, doctors, and accountants.

More than 50% of the insurrectionists reside in counties won by Joe Biden. But the “key characteristic” that unites them is that they are from counties where the white share of the population is declining fastest.

The No. 1 belief among insurrectionists is the ‘Great Replacement’ of the electorate by the Democratic Party, and that this idea is also the most important separator of people in the 21 million from the general population.

[EXPOSED]: Hindutva Men Target Muslim Women and Children With Sexual Abuse on @Reddit.

cjwerleman.substack.com/p/exposed-hind…
Some pro-Hindutva groups on @Reddit have more than 15,000 followers, with thousands of accounts encouraging each other to mass rape Muslim women and children on the way to transforming India into a “Hindu-only nation.”

cjwerleman.substack.com/p/exposed-hind…
A sub-reddit page titled “Muslimahs for Hindu Men” features Muslim women and children being sexualized in the most grotesque, dehumanizing and violent ways imaginable.

One example (blurred by me) here:

Lady Velvet is not your friend!

She's a full-throated supporter of UAE foreign policy, which is not only sowing violence and instability across the Middle East and Africa, but also lends its full support to Israel's human rights abuses in Palestine, & India's crimes in Kashmir.
UAE also supports China's annihilation of Uyghur Muslims.

UAE also supported the coup in Egypt and Tunisia; current overthrow of the democratic transitional council in Sudan; and intl recon govt in Libya.

UAE is colonizing Yemen, Gulf of Aden and Red Sea, w/ help from Israel.
While Lady Velvet is sympathetic to the persecution of Muslims at the hands of Hindu supremacists in India, she's also a full-supporter of the Modi regime, given there's zero policy distance between her and the Emirate government.

Whoa - just seeing this 2015 article for first time.

Their mother died soon after me and my friends carried her from the beach, but I’m now learning the father passed away, too.

I always assumed he survived the blast as he was walking & talking fine😥

google.com.au/amp/s/www.news…
She was slumped over a table and non-responsive. He was standing next to her but asking me where his wife was. We guided him to the roadway out of concern there were more suicide bombers about, and then returned to her and placed her on a makeshift gurney.
He asked we call his sons at the hotel they were staying to inform them what happened. I made the call but when a friend saw I was unable to speak, she grabbed the phone.

We then continued sorting injured from the dead, as we waited what seemed like an eternity for ambulances.

1. The Delhi Riots started when a BJP leader urged his Hindu nationalist supporters to “hit the streets” and attack Muslim anti-CAA protesters, launching a wave of violence across North East Delhi and resulting in the murder of more than 50 Muslims.
2. Muslims were hunted in packs. Many were hacked, beaten, burnt and shot to death, with CCTV footage capturing Delhi Police participating and/or egging on the violence.
3. BJP/RSS had been tacitly and overtly encouraging violence against Muslims all across the country for months as nationwide protests against anti-Muslim citizenship laws grew.
