Spent the day working on free and fair elections in #NewMexico this November. Have been following the latest on ICE murdering people (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/13/maine-ice-shooting-death). These are not disconnected. 1/
“The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.”
When you really wanna murder brown people, you'll use the exact opposite of a justification.
If we don’t turn out as many voters as possible this November, in every single state, we will not make the statement that must be made: in a democracy, the people are sovereign, not a political minority who support the indiscrimate killing of people in the name of white Christian patriarchal nationalism. 2/
However substantial that minority, all the data shows they are a minority. Moreover, were those committed to an America that is white, Christian, and patriarchal greater in number than those who want a pluralistic, egalitarian America, we should still seek to have massive and capacious voting this November. 3/
Voting shoul be mandatory, same as Chile
Let’s find out where we really stand in the Second American Civil War. Let’s *all* go to the polls, let’s work to make it possible for every last eligible person to cast a vote. If it turns out that Republican Fascism gets more votes, American Progressives will know exactly what they are up against. 4/
Second Civil War or Second American Revolution?
The accelerationists, Nazis and the "Don't tread on snek" folk moonlighting as ICE thugs are labouring under the misapprahension that the left are softies that will be easily defeated...
... Forgetting that the North curb stomped on the slave owners and the Allies burned entire Nazi cities full of fascists, Men, Women and Children all.
Two of which were nukes.
If the Civil War 2 comes, it will only benefit enemies of America, broligarchs, Russians and Chinese...
... Hell, at this point anyone but Israel.
"There are only three things the wise fear
A moonless night
The sea at storm
And the wrath of a gentle man"
This November, showing up to vote, including in “safe” Democratic districts or for elections where Democrats are heavily favored, is imperative to anybody who cares about seeing American Progressivism survive. Thos of us who oppose Republican Fascism must register our opposition in a process that involves tallying up who stands where. 5/
We are not in a peacetime election season here in the U.S. This November every vote is participation in what has been so far a relatively cold civil war. There has been violence, there has been injury and death. But so far there has not been all out hot war. 5/
