On day one of Donald Trump's first administration, a participant in the J20 black bloc punched the white supremacist Richard Spencer in the face in Washington, DC. The punching went viral, showing how popular sentiment was shifting in response to Trump's arrival in power.

Trump hasn't even reentered the White House yet, and something similar is happening in the way that the public is responding to the shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.

Everyone understands that the billionaires are breaking off whatever remained of the social contract. The next several years are going to be a tumultuous time.

The fall of Bashar Al-Assad shows that no amount of force can freeze history forever. Every autocratic regime will fall.

But will they be succeeded by other authoritarian regimes? That will be determined by how they fall.

This is the reason to build multiethnic, horizontal revolutionary movements that can play a role in the changes ahead.

The more that ordinary Syrians from all backgrounds and walks of life participate in the next phase of the revolution—the less that it is dictated by money, weapons, and agendas outside of Syria—the less bloody it will likely be.

As the millions of refugees who were forced to flee Syria make their way home, we hope that they will play a part in this.

Tonight, we give thanks for every soldier who deserted rather than fighting for a dictator. May their refusals inspire others, in turn, not to kill or die for things that are unworthy of humanity.

Burn every prison.

Topple every oppressor.

"The revolt in Georgia points to a horizon beyond the choice between Europe and Russia, expressing a growing social anger at both the local authoritarian regime and the grip of foreign economic powers upon the Caucasus in general.

"Contrary to the dominant media discourse, this popular mobilization is not simply a demand for Georgia to be integrated into the European Union. From a distance, it may seem reminiscent of the 2014 Maidan revolution in Ukraine, but to grasp the deep tumult that this particular struggle represents, we need to look closer."
