if you wind back the clock a year and say “trump will be president, he’ll tear up entire agencies without any legislative authority, ignore court orders, build a concentration camp, and send troops into multiple US cities” you wouldn’t ask “well how many troops?” before deciding what this describes

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

This is why a putatively The calluel mour fuulelat oyotell beg ho wil the poison taught by these institutions, which has infected even so-called conservative lawyers and judges with the same anti-Constitutional, anti-American, immoral ideologies over decades and decades. Law must be moderated by the virtues, including individual responsibility and wisdom. Its practitioners must have mastery over these virtues in order to properly execute the laws for a free and self governing people. That imperative was long ago abandoned by our educat onal institutions. The judges in law courts today, including the majority in the nation's Highest Court, telegraph with these decisions that they have no understanding of law and its proper function and role. President Trump is the first leader who has actually meaningfully attempted to reverse this destructive trajectory, and done so with the gravitas of executive power that will be sure to have a lasting impact for years to come. * johnny maga @ @ _johnnymaga • 1h As usual, Alito and Thomas are the only two Justices you can count on to uphold the integrity of our vaniahlia

Really interesting post in r/boston about how Patriot Front is being forced to change their tactics due to opposition and having their identities exposed.

More info on the Nazi/Patriot Front Protest My friend has been in contact with one of the counter protestors who followed the Nazis through Boston this weekend and I have a lot more context and info that you should know. The Patriot Front crew that was in Boston on Saturday is the same crew that was in Providence, RI earlier that day. They chose both spots to counter planned protests. They rented 3 vans to get to and from the protests quickly. The van drivers dropped em off and then waited at predetermined pick up spots so they could escape quickly with minimal opposition. In Boston, they parked on Cambridge Street next to Bowdoin Square. They spent less than 30 minutes in each location. This crew was mostly new recruits and it was a smaller crew than usual. The reason they chose vans instead of public transportation is because the last time they used the T, there was so much counteraction that 17 of them had their identities exposed because people followed them to their cars and got their plate numbers. Documentation and opposition works. These guys are running scared while trying to appear powerful and intimidating. Let's work together to keep Nazis off of our streets.

If an employer suggests their employees can side-hustle to make ends meet, we'd recommend you side-hustle all your coworkers together in a room to talk about organizing! 💪

It's not that UK or Europeans *want* to send forces there. They plainly don't. It's that all other conversations are blocked on this topic. And is why US statements /actively hinder/ the ability to progress to a conversation about ending the war or discuss what terms that would ever look like

17. Bottom line: don't accept "just joking" as a defense or excuse for what Trump says. He's pushing ideas to his in-group, and if he's using humor to do it that doesn't mean it can be ignored -- it means he's using an effective tool to push those ideas and we should pay close attention. And object.

Trump verbally claiming dictatorial status—including in a trollish “just joking (not really joking)” style— is not a distraction from the Trump administration dismantling Constitutional checks and balances in pursuit of dictatorial power. How head-in-the-sand must you be to think those unrelated?

I suspect Americans, raised more on television and movies than books, think that unless a political movement looks like newsreels and movies about Hitler's Germany, than it's not really real fascism yet. That comes late. Fascism is contradictory, chaotic, half-seen, long before it's so formalized.

when people get pissy about me calling Elon Musk a Boer, it is merely confirmation that it is offensive enough that I should do it more often

Call it a heist, call it a coup, but please stop calling it a constitutional crisis. Aside from being useless as an explainer to anyone who doesn't understand the legalities, it severely downplays the danger in what is happening.

I don’t ever want anyone to tell me or anyone else to “be nicer” or to “understand the other side” because we have had decades of being told we were too nasty, mean, opinionated and look at the world now Dominated by openly hateful people, but those who spoke out against harm were told to be nicer
