This week at Group Threat, I spoke with @grundrza.bsky.social about Florida's censorship regime, teaching under authoritarianism, and how folks are coping (or not).

Radicalization and the mainstreaming of insurgent tactics are common elements of social movements as they expand and evolve 👇

Here's the play (at least in Bannon's opinion):

🔥❗The SAVE Act is another effort to ensure permanent R majority by disenfranchising 21M voters whose names differ from their birth certificates, incl. many married women. Christian Nationalists oppose the right of *all women* to vote. SAVE Act gets them closer to goal. Fight back: 🌐 is.gd/j6pUEA

One reason Minneapolis remains in the world's eye is we have one of the most robust & independent media ecosystems remaining in the country. You all need this...and more! @mprnews.org @startribune.com @sahanjournal.bsky.social @minnesotareformer.com @minnpost.bsky.social @racketmn.com etc.

The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Just straight up 😱😱😱

Do y'all see why I have no faith in this Democratic leadership? Is anyone surprised? If so, why?

Here's the play (at least in Bannon's opinion):

An overview of my recent findings about how Resistance 2.0 is getting more confrontational (and why it gives me hope), including my recent article in @theguardian.com and the new Apocalyptic Optimist Podcast danarfisher.com/2026/02/04/r...

You had me at “endless clown car”

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Among the other outrages in today's news from the @washingtonpost.com, management has gutted the Pulitzer-winning climate team, according to @sammyroth.bsky.social. Their work has been so important — one more reason to be heartbroken today. And pissed. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/washington...

This is a big deal. No matter how many awful things come out of this White House, you can organize your community to fight back against tyranny. We must also continue to boycott ICE's corporate collaborators like Amazon, AT&T, and any other company trying to profit off this misery.

"As unfair as it may seem, neither a charismatic leader nor the Democratic party is ready to be the change we need; we are going to have to work together to save ourselves."

My new piece about Resistance 2.0 is up at @theguardian.com! Give it a read to understand why we should expect much more confrontation and disruption this time around. Thanks for the suggestions @victorerikray.bsky.social @sociologistray.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If I were the liberal equivalent of Alex Jones I’d spend months discussing how Trumps immediate statement after the attack on Ilan Omar was to discuss how someone might fake an assassination attempt to elicit sympathy.

Persistence pays.

History shows that our strategies and actions to counter this administration are working and very likely to be successful. Dana explains this superbly. After a 3-5 minute read, you'll come away from it feeling better.

Great article. I think the comparison with Civil Rights movement is exactly right: people faced brutality, violence, even murder. But it worked: many of their demands were met, even in the face of extreme racism. In solidarity from across the pond, where we may need these tactics soon ✊🏼

The comical idea that the Trump regime is pulling back from mass deportation choked on tear gas in Oregon and at gunpoint in MN, and the worst is yet to come A looming ICE storm for Springfield's Haitians would bring ethnic cleansing to the heartland My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

This moment of resistance to the Trump regime opens up a window of opportunity for social change. — @fisherdanar.bsky.social

"The fact that Resistance 2.0 is expanding its tactics gives me hope. Americans are finding their voices and their power to push back against burgeoning autocracy." @fisherdanar.bsky.social

Democratic lawmakers have few options that wouldn’t trigger something like civil war.
