@futurebird Offline, I push back on the idea that cities are “bubbles”. The people who say that generally live in very homogeneous communities. Meanwhile I interact daily with people from all over the world, varying along every axis of class, sexuality, gender expression, religion, etc. etc. (Not as much class variation as I’d like, due to my city’s exclusive housing policy.)

So like most accusations conservatives lob, it ends up looking like projection to me.

Bumping a trainer tending to an injury is low especially considering the week they’ve had. The entire Packers organization should be embarrassed by this. The fact that more than one player did this does not speak well.

Laurie Wainberg: Bolsonaro's son was at the White House on January 4th, 2021 and met with Mike Lindell and Matt Schlapp in subsequent days. This is not mimicry; it's a joint project. See photos pulled from his social media accounts:

We must support Brazil’s democracy and Garland better hurry up, for the sake of ours!

Oh but I’m sure it was a one-off.

Also, for those in need, the @CityofBerkeley@twitter.com has opened a warming center at the North Berkeley Senior Center (1901 Hearst at MLK). It is open from 6:30 p.m. Sunday until 6:30 a.m. Monday. They may be serving dinner, but we haven't seen anything directly from the city on it.

I miss when the right respected elections enough to just let the Supreme Court steal them.

Wait...you can arrest people while they are trying to overthrow a government?

If anyone tries to tell you that the #vaccines increase your risk for heart issues, you can tell them the risk from infection is many, many times worse -- and longer term.

Credit where due, Castro is correct and the Biden admin should move swiftly to take Bolsonary into custody and extradite him. But again, bear in mind the context: this just happened in our own country and the man who organized it is not just free but running to be president again. Something tells me Lula is going to handle this a bit differently

Is there anyone out there who can look for and save evidence that ends up online from what's going on in Brazil?

Fascist coup attempt is underway in Brasil by supporters of Bolsonaro. As with the January 6th coup attempt in the USA, several videos show police smiling and taking selfies with the rioting Bolsonaristas. https://twitter.com/davidrkadler/status/1612152507727499265

Because fascists lack a coherent political worldview, they have the biggest tent in politics. Contrary to popular belief, fascist movements do welcome all races, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

As long as you share hatred of some of the same groups, you can find a home in the fascist movement. If you're a trans woman who hates Black people, you'll find a home in the fascist movement (as long as you're willing to overlook transphobia).

If you're a Latino man who hates women and wants to dominate them, you'll find a home in the fascist movement (as long as you're willing to overlook racism). You'll be useful to the fascist movement as a token or ideological shield - they can use your marginalized identity to further their cause.

This is why you'll see gay fascists in a crowd of Proud Boys who are shouting "f*ggot", Black fascists storming the Capitol alongside people shouting the N-word at police, and Jewish fascists at an antivax rally standing next to people holding signs saying that COVID is a Jewish conspiracy.

Here is Ali Alexander, organizer of “Stop the Steal,” and somehow still a free man, despite admitting to planning the insurrection with Congressmembers.

“Do whatever is necessary! Love y’all!”

This is why we are fucked.
