Sometimes when the news, or life or whatever, gets me down, I come back to this song. And I remember that a better world is possible, so long as we all try.

I hope this song sparks a lil something in you, the same as it does me

If you want to cry tears of pain and rage, listen to Dajah’s statement (one of the survivors) at the trial of the shooter. It’s…heavy, you’ve been warned.

Love this, thank you

Wow.... Never thought I'd have to say this, but I guess we need to add "sobriety" to the ever-growing list of right-wing boogiemen...

This is a common trope in these topics. And I gotta say, to be perfectly honest, that I hate it.

Leftists/anti-fascists also rely on having face coverings to protect themselves from state repression, and doxxing from nazis, despite being right in their beliefs.

I get where you're coming from with the sentiment, I do. But rather than taking issue with the masks themselves, I'd recommend taking action (or at least encouraging it) and physically removing their masks so they can be properly doxxed themselves and face the consequences of their violent and hateful beliefs.

Edit: Case in point, here's a link to a video of the Proud Boys fighting with another, smaller, local neo Nazi group where they start to de-mask each other, towards the end of the video. They know that being exposed to the public is detrimental to their livelihoods, but will still do it to each other whenever there's a conflict.

Take note of that, and act accordingly.

My state, mentioned also in the article, enacted some really great protection laws for workers dealing with heat. It took an unprecedented, record-breaking heat dome for it to happen. But at least it happened.

~~I could be wrong, but this appears to be~~ Blood Tribe, they've been pretty active in Florida recently

Edit: missed the part of the article where they mention their shirts confirming this
