Regarding number 34: I am more worried about arrest than oath keepers.

I’ll learn from Noche and stay off the roofs if I address the crowd.

I have stood on benches, but I wasn’t nearly as inspiring with my words or elevation.

As you know you could just use fascistic as a qualifier.

Do you think Americans don't turn out like they do in other countries because they've been living relatively comfortably and have no historical memory of how bad things can be? I think through media and popular culture the masses have been manipulated into having no sense of agency.

The New York Times urging the repression of a mass movement? No, couldn’t be!

I really appreciate this series, thanks for your hard work Paul.

The act itself of protest is one of the ways we engage in class struggle, raise and strengthen class consciousness. Apparently, not that naysayers seem to be aware.

Wasted time this week arguing for the 50501 marches (they occurred in county as well as state government seats) in Wisconsin with left and liberal people fretting that there was no “organized group” who had obtained permission for the marches and it might cause Drumpf to declare “Marshall law.” One former Green Party activist warned that it would be dangerous to send any loved one to such a march/rally. He was very upset that I disagreed with him and asked what they are waiting for.

sorry to hear that. If these activist wants to see people die in big numbers they should continue with this ridiculous cowardice. So they are waiting for full consolidation --- ummm then what?
