“We can see on the streets now the precarious situation we’ve studied around the world: the need for mass resistance to state violence and assaults on democracy, and the concurrent need to maintain nonviolent discipline in a dire and escalating situation. Following the example of other authoritarians, Donald Trump wants us to burn cars. He wants us to throw rocks. He wants images of chaos — especially violence against police or National Guard troops — to flood the evening news. These are precisely the results he wants: to manufacture chaos as a means of justifying repression and extending his authoritarian raids on our communities. We must not fall into his trap.” [editor’s note: This one lists FIFTEEN co-writers; not sure who wrote the hook – SAT] (06/13/25)
