They fear your voice because it’s powerful. The status quo trembles at a single voice. Silence isn’t safety-it’s surrender. They don’t fear your sadness-they fear your clarity. History doesn’t repeat itself- it responds to silence. They want you numb...so stay awake. Read this...often.

#RiseAndResist with the most patriotic wisdom in American history:

"The strength and power of despotism consists wholly in the fear of resistance." --Thomas Paine 🦅 🇺🇸

my main takeaway after spending the afternoon at the national history day competition is that the kids are pretty alright. also, that reactionaries are right to fear the consequences of kids learning the truth.

Like fascist fighter FDR, who said "We have nothing to fear but fear itself", history will remember this REAL American patriot long after the GOP's felon in chief's carcass has decomposed under a golf course.

"While fear may be contagious, courage is as well." --Jack Smith 🦅 🇺🇸

Demons fear Black History.

So I’ve had my 1st Black History Month event cancellation because of “DEI concerns,” citing a fear of frivolous suits. Funny thing is, I don’t do DEI, I’m a historian of the Black American experience. A reminder that DEI is just a dog whistle about suppressing history, if you need a reminder.

“…never in the history of the world has a Nation lost its democracy by a successful struggle to defend its democracy. We must not be defeated by the fear of the very danger which we are preparing to resist…The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

-FDR, 1941

Bernie Sanders: "We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history. We are looking at a rapid growth of oligarchy. We are looking at a rapid growth of authoritarianism. And I fear we're looking at a rapid growth of kleptocracy as well."

Senator Jon Ossoff: “Fear is intentional—to silence dissent and make people afraid to exist. Civil rights are eroding at a pace unlike anything in American history.”

after spending a half hour fear-mongering about crime in North Carolina, Trump takes credit for crime being "at the lowest level in recorded history" 🙃

When you listen to Kristi Noem what you hear is fear. Fear based in ignorance. This is why non-whitewashed history is essential. To stop raising bigots and idiots #Voices4Victory
The contrast and absurdity is so brazen. They're literally raiding Home Depots to find whatever guys are there to get work as day laborers. People eager for work. And the ICE agents has zero idea who they are or any criminal background.
Kristi Noem: "In LA, what we're been going after is the worst of the worst. They're murderers." (They literally raided a Home Depot.)

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

We can learn an important lesson from the era of Joseph McCarthy.

The danger of fear, the power of courage. And how to defeat a demagogue.

Probably the most corrupt in American history. I think Bondi is starting to fear consequences.

The word "socialism" is constantly thrown out at any attempt at social progress that challenges the rich and powerful.

We hear it used today — but this fear-mongering tactic goes back much further than most of us realize.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social shares an interesting history lesson.
