normalize forceful suppression.
make me long for a strong hand to quell my incessant anxiety.
or at least a gasbag who cosplays one & delights in brutality.

Professor Kyle @blackcatproseIf you turn on the news, these protests seem to be the only thing happening in the country. Another shiny distraction for the GOP & the press to make Biden's tenure look chaotic...anything to turn attention from the booming economy & steady improvement of people's lives – except in GOP run states.10:52 AM - May 02, 2024

100% my take too. There are literal "Biden's reelection chances dim as conflicts escalate on campuses across the country" opinion pieces out in NYT, WaPo, CNN, et. al.

Fascism succeeds by promising an end to chaos, so the fascists create chaos first. Remember that.

1. Also this is why he was willing to let people die during covid, phase 1.
2. This is why people have to question their communities who support this kind of sadism. STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR PEOPLE WHO WELCOME YOUR DEMISE.

I all seriousness- this was a reaction to my spout about attacking Fl. This really applies to all red states. Do not blanket judge what is happening- especially if you don’t live there. Instead of bashing try writing postcards, text, send money- support blue voters there. Try to make a difference!!

Exactly. Of a piece with "Crime!" and "Secure the border!" Including because those are really about scapegoating/punishing Black and Brown people (I'm not keen on the protesters, but there's not doubt Rs are attacking them because they're in support of Brown people).

Lynn Holland @LHollandMike Johnson, facing a challenge to his speakership, intends to unite the party behind him by cracking down on student protests. Expect to see more college presidents brought in for hearings, more Republicans like Lauren Boebert paying visits to the encampments, more attacks on higher ed.10:29 AM - May 02, 2024

And he's falling asleep during his trial.
10:29 AM - May 02, 2024
"Here's my point: The unfolding campaign will be kinder to Biden than to Trump—and the media is beginning to take notice. The trial deflated Trump's overblown tough-guy image and revealed him to be a sleepy older man incapable of paying attention to a trial that may result in his imprisonment."

'Historians will tell you that dictators throughout history started just this same way, making vague threats to whip up their followers and engaging in “bluster.” And then, when the blood starts flowing, people realized, too late, that they should have been taking that all rhetoric seriously.'

Make sure you check your voter registration to ensure it’s current. Several states have purged their voter rolls of allegedly “inactive” voters.

"Donald Trump obviously hopes that history will repeat itself, and that the left-wing theatrics of the anti-Israel protests, on college campuses and beyond, will have an outsize effect on the 2024 election.
