Rampage? They literally committed sedition & insurrection..itās amazing to me the mass mediaās strategic use of rhetoric to demonize the left & justify the right. This government & those who truly possesses the power in this country know exactly
what they do when they call us rioters and looters (unarmed protestors asking for police brutality to be held accountable) and them mobs and protestors (heavily armed and refusing to accept the election results of a ādemocraticā process) We need to stop asking why they do this
And understand that itās a tool. Propaganda and misinformation and rhetoric. They program us to be outraged and stay exhausted and fighting the seemingly arbitrary and āinsignificantā uses of words. The media is the picture painter, the visuals released with a single if you will
They are all owned by the same people and then they slightly sqew the POV of their proposed audiences. So something like Fox knows that their main audience (viewer count=profit) is alt-right āconservativesā and CNN knows that itās main audience is more liberal. All of these news
Sources will give out the same exact messaging with different angles so as to keep their viewers watching as long as possible. THEY MAKE MONEY OFF OF SENSATIONALIZING, CENSORING, SKEWING the truth and making it more entertaining. If yāall look at Ancient Rome and their tactics

iāll keep saying this but for example look no further than the ku klux klan, theatrical and silly and also deadly serious
we often talk about the overthrow of reconstruction as a singular organized effort, but it should be understood as something more disparate and fractured, with success tied less to martial superiority than the indifference of authorities to intimidation and violence.
a group of guys ā maybe the owner of the general store, and the sheriff and some farmers who fought in the war āĀ gets together to gripe and complain and plot a little mischief. they put on masks and grab guns and go beat up a black sharecropper or local clerk or whatever...
everyone knows who did it. but thereās no one to stop them. the army, if itās even in the state, is tens or hundreds of miles away. and mustering a militia may risk open conflict. the guys realize they can do this and getaway with it. so they do it again.
maybe they have a few more people with them this time. maybe they escalate, not just beating up local blacks and their white allies but killing a few.
to the question of larping, yes, most everything starts in the realm of pretense and fantasy but some things get realized, I would have thought people would have learned by now that things can be both absurd and sinister

reminding you that, while we didn't cover "how do i work through a coup" in the faculty development workshop (FWIW my answer is "don't", seek breath and togetherness instead), we DO have the gift of trauma-informed pedagogy. here are a few links for the coming days/weeks/months:
reading or listening to Mays Imad's work (@lrningsanctuary) always helps me so much and is a great place to start. this interview with @Bali_Maha is medicine.

"Hope can be a passive gesture: āletās hope it all turns out OK.ā But hope can also be active, as a resistive act of defiance, self-empowerment & enduring resilience even in the face of uncertainty."
here's a slightly different framing from @bethmcmurtrie , one that I think has the very, very useful addition of "don't take things personally". we're all whole humans. what your students are doing (or not doing) right now is often very little about you.
if a video (or just its audio) is more your speed today, here's a fantastic UC Berkeley program that critically centers racial trauma, and how we can teach in the context of racial violence (of which our classrooms are a
