#reckoning&rise
A reckoning is coming between the wing of the Democratic Party that is willing and able to confront the rise of American authoritarianism with the strategy and tactics that it demands and those who are not.

And it is obvious to me which side of that fight the party's base is going to be on.
if you can't sell the american public on the idea that federal troops in the streets is fundamentally unacceptable then you have no business being in politics. and if you do not forcibly believe this at your core such that you can't shut up about it, that goes double for you
Toxic feedback loop has kicked in: Trump's propagandists tell credulous reporters that occupying cities is good politics for him. Media echoes this as self-evidently true. That reinforces Dem instincts not to engage.

Aaron Sorkin said the “The Social Reckoning” “shouldn’t” be a political film.

But he acknowledges it is one, probing Facebook’s role in the rise of extremism and division ahead of the 2020 election and Jan. 6.

I think that, at some point, if there is to be a genuine reckoning with the rise of racism and anti-immigrant rhetoric, there needs to be a reckoning with the ugliness of gender critical thought.

Of the ten most deprived areas of Britain, seven saw far-right pogroms this summer. Any attempt to counter the rise of fascism must start with reckoning with and stamping out the system which spawned it, writes @graceblakeley.bsky.social.

The media should be ashamed.

No reckoning in their part in their enthusiastic helping of the rise of fascism. Sidelining all the reporters who speak the truth.

Now slamming President Biden a compassionate and transformative leader who has suffered great tragedy.

THE SOCIAL RECKONING – Official Teaser Trailer (releases Oct 9) www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM4L...

"A companion piece to the hit film The Social Network, Sorkin’s original screenplay is based on the events that gave rise to the Wall Street Journal’s shocking exposé The Facebook Files."

This is a warning. A warning that a nation built on liberty, justice, and representation is fraying. 1776 was a promise. 2025 is a reckoning. If we don’t rise to defend democracy now, we may be the last generation to share in its promise and live its ideals.

What are you going to do?

Yeah I'm sure we'd all love the magical day of reckoning where the masses rise up and we all overthrow the cruel structures that dominate us but the truth is the general populace doesn't want violent societal upheaval!!! Of course they don't!!! They have work in the morning!

It's a bitter new year when our people once again live beneath the rising specter of fascism.

It's a bitter new year when Nazis openly assemble in the streets.

It's a bitter new year when the most "orthodox" among us enable their rise.

These are the days of reckoning, and our people need it.
