Masha Gessen, who lived under Russia’s secret police, is sounding the alarm: the U.S. is now echoing those same authoritarian patterns. Raids, surveillance, fear tactics—it’s not theoretical anymore.
We are watching a police state take root in real time.

how we stop this
Who has the answer?
Like acting surprised in Miami, that the coffee is strong and the food is spicy.
Should come as no surprise.
Suspending habeas corpus means that ANYone for ANY reason could be detained without cause.
ANYONE FOR ANY REASON.
"We are having the bodies now."
Don’t just be outraged—act. Demand your Members of Congress condemn ICE’s lawless raids and push legislation to stop them. Use this free Resistbot letter: https://resist.bot/petitions/PXWFWU. Silence enables fascism. Speak up.
Organize.
Fight back.

anyone have a link to the source? I looked on NY Times and youtube, but can't seem to find it?
also check out @mashagessen.bsky.social's book

is a great read.
I shared the video on FB.
Lots of Americans follow no news -- EVERYONE needs to know what's going on before it's too late.
Really bad things happen when the electorate isn't informed.👇🏼
The courts won't be able to keep us safe if we don't get out there in large numbers.

(1) Correctly identify the problem
(2) Call for completely ineffective steps that we know from both, recent and 20th century history, will not stop fascism ("tell congress to condemn this", as if the fascists cared)
