re: the racist attack in Red Deer:
1) stop calling it Trumpism. this is born and bred Alberta fascism, stoked by Rebel Media and emboldened by our own government.
2) the RCMP& #39;s lack of intervention shouldn& #39;t come as a surprise. POC organizers have been saying this for decades.

3) denouncing what happened isn& #39;t good enough anymore. the only way we& #39;re going to beat back the rise of fascism is by OUT-ORGANIZING fascists. that means embedding anti-racist organizing in every union across the province and overwhelming racists with our numbers in the streets.
also, at the risk of getting cancelled, i also think it& #39;s worth interrogating our tactics: https://wagingnonviolence.org/2017/08/dont-feed-trolls-combat-alt-right/">https://wagingnonviolence.org/2017/08/d...
