The most violent labor feud New York had seen in years took place on April 24, 1933. Six mobsters, armed with guns, knives, and lead pipes, raided the headquarters of the Needle Trade Workers’ Industrial Union, a Communist group. The attackers were believed to be right-wing members of the union. They killed one person and left 16 wounded.

Got permanently banned from a subreddit for saying law enforcement shooting someone dead in the street was still a bad thing even when the victim was a violent right-wing fanatic.

Gotta say, I did not expect that to be such a controversial statement. So repeating it here: law enforcement shouldn't kill people. Even violent assholes have a right to be taken in alive, and it's a failure of practice and policy when someone is killed in the process of an arrest.

#i have been declared a right wing plant for this opinion #because nothing says conservative like demanding police accountability #police violence

Their civil war is already under way.

November 10, 2022

With every imagined outrage — from the Mueller investigation to anti-COVID mask mandates to the FBI "raid" of Mar-a-Lago — the MAGA mob and its adherents on social media threaten to unleash civil war upon our nation. According to a recent survey by the Public Religion Research Institute, 30% of Republicans agree with the idea that “true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.”

Unsurprisingly, the GOP’s warm embrace of their radicalized base has fostered an alarming increase in right-wing violence. In fact, an asymmetric guerilla war of assassination and terrorism waged by the right against its perceived enemies has been going on for some time. Targets in this war to "save America" include election workers, medical personnel, journalists, teachers, federal law enforcement, Jews, African-Americans and, most especially, Democratic elected office-holders.

This one-sided conflict is being waged by organized groups, like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who attacked the Capitol in January 2021. And the militias that stormed the Michigan capitol building in April 2020. And the criminal gang that was convicted last month of plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

One Ohio member of another such group, the Boogaloo Bois, was arrested by the FBI last week and had a history of vowing to kill police and other government officials. A search of his home uncovered an arms cache of military-style weapons, including homemade machine guns, stockpiled silencers, bomb-making materials and a rifle-mounted grenade launcher.

“Lone wolf” individuals motivated by right-wing propaganda also seek to carry out this war. Like the MAGA-deluded man who attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband. Or the armed man who died attempting to breach an FBI office in August because he was upset about the bureau’s Mar-a-Lago search. “We must respond with force,” he wrote on Trump’s Truth Social website.

The same day as the Pelosi attack, a Pennsylvania man pleaded guilty to threatening to kill Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and his staff. As The New York Times reports,

In the five years since Mr. Trump was elected in 2016, the number of recorded threats against members of Congress increased more than tenfold, to 9,625 in 2021, according to the Capitol Police.

These are all part of the right's continuing armed insurgency. And a study from the Center for Strategic and International Studies last year found that, since 2015, right-wing extremists were involved in 267 plots or attacks. Americans need to understand that a 21st century Civil War isn't just a MAGA fantasy. It's happening now.

Tyranny is on the Ballot

Republican assaults on democracy and encouragement of political violence disqualify them from serious consideration in this election.Vote like its an emergency. Deny the destroyers and deniers! #Democracy #DemocracyIsOnTheBallot

It’s a scary time. Vote as if your life depends on it. “Noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with the good.” — Martin Luther King, Jr. At the end of World War II, there were 8 million Nazis in Germany, about 10 percent of the population. Millions more, whether from fear, ignorance, or true belief, had also given their consent to the evils of the Third Reich.…

I’ve spoken to conservatives who honestly tried to convince me that Trump was the most vilified president in history.

All they’re doing is advertising how entrenched they are in their bubbles.

A Lot To Think About

The New York Times has been doing a series of editorial pieces that are longer and more in-depth than the usual daily/weekly editorials. The most recent such piece by David Leonhardt was published on Saturday and is titled A Crisis Coming’: The Twin Threats to American Democracy. Leonhardt’s piece is excellent, but far too long for me to reproduce here in a single blog post. Rather, I will give…

Palestinian educators have previously told Middle East Eye that Israeli authorities were aiming to eliminate its curriculum in favour of the Israeli version, in an attempt to erode Palestinian identity and "distort" history.

Academic content Israel has sought to censor, they said, includes the logo of the Palestinian Authority, the Palestinian flag, lessons that discuss the Palestinian struggle against occupation, the right of return and prisoners, settlements, the immigration of settlers to Palestine, military checkpoints, the intifada, displaced villages, and considering Zionism a racist political movement.

"The fact that we saw attacks on the [police] cordon and the crime scene, these are clearly organized and orchestrated activities which need quite a lot of background organization… this is where we see the far-right's use of X," he said. "They were able to get a lot of people there very quickly to basically take control of that situation, direct it."

This is a coordinated worldwide effort by fascists and oligarchs to create a “new world order” where they are free to pillage the global economy and purge racial, ethnic, religious, and cultural groups they are opposed to. Muskrat, Bannon, Trump, and all the other fascists and oligarchs must be stopped and imprisoned. No single maniac can be allowed the power to control information like Muskrat, or Murdoch for that matter.

Copaganda (a portmanteau of cop and propaganda) is a form of propaganda used to describe depictions of police in a positive (or excessively positive) light while obscuring negative qualities, most often through mass media, with the intent of swaying public opinion for the benefit of law enforcement.
