Nothing new.
On the mainland it's driving while black and poor.
In Hawaii it's driving while local and poor.

An administration full of Nazis doesn't give a shit about antisemitism. It's just a cover.
Higher learning is a direct threat to fascism.

I hear people in Cali saying it won't affect them because they have Medi-Cal. Medi- Cal is just another name for Medicaid. It's called something different in different states.
What do you do with such ignorance when everything truth is lies and lies are truth?

No. They didn't. It was the non-voters.
The data proves it.
Voter apathy within the Democratic party is even worse now.

As was I. I said it anyway. Been saying it since July 2015.

Is he going to execute every blue state Governor who is part of a coalition to break from the federal government? They are not even providing FEMA assistance to red states.
We need a shadow government. An alternative to fascism in order to destroy it.

Not in this country but certainly in others historically.
I think that's the biggest problem. No one is thinking outside the broken system to bring an end as fast as it seems to have happened.

They're using the Coast Guard to ferry people off the island.
Same as the Big Island where they have to get them to Oahu first before they can fly them out.
It would be a big story if just 1 Coast Guard official in a position to refuse to traffic people without due process said no to them.

They're trying to work within a system that was already broken before it became so thoroughly fascist in every aspect of government.
That system didn't work. Citizens United cemented what had started in 1980. Crony capitalism and most D's profited from it.

They're not going to all just resign, or be impeached or voted out.

I worked in 1 for 30yrs. But although an independent agency still tied financially to the US government.
We have to break completely from the US government. A coalition of blue states to form their own government.
The entire US government has been captured by fascists. 1/

Tax revolt is how the whole American experiment started.
I don't want any more advice on how to survive a fascist dictatorship. I want to destroy it. And that can't be done in the usual resistance manner.
It can't be done through elections or protests spread across the country or lower courts.

But considering our land mass in order to completely break from the fascist government we now have in every department of the government the idea of a separate blue state government should at least be considered.

Something outside the normal tool box has to be done.
The Calexit movement in 2016 was active measures. Meant to further divide the country.

Each one is different. Fascist dictatorships don't end within the 1st 2 years of taking power by lawsuits, monthly protests in different states and free and fair elections.
The forms of resistance now are how to slow them down not how to remove the entire administration. 2/

Accept the fact that crony capitalism is far more aligned with fascism than it is with democracy. Citizens United cemented it into law.
That the US is vastly different than other democracies due to it's vast land mass. No 2 states are the same. 1/

One could argue it already had been handed over before Musk even got there.
So what do we do now? They will use it to destroy anyone who opposes them. It'll come down to those who are willing to lose everything to resist.

ICE is on the Big Island. In schools snatching the children of the people who work on the coffee farms.
They are holding them at the local police station ( police say they're not cooperating) just that their stations are being used. Wtf?

They announced that they were deputizing people.
We know that they are cultivating extremist groups to create a private army. Despite the firings at the Pentagon and Hegseth as Secretary they are still afraid that the US military will refuse to follow illegal orders.
comment in response to
post
I said something similar. Something else outside the usual tools of resistance is going to have to happen. Fascist dictatorships don't end with the entire government resigning within 2 years by voting for the opposition party, a peaceful protest once a month in different states and lawsuits.

He took his family to safety in Canada.
When 1 of the world's premier authorities on fascism leaves the country we have to acknowledge that something outside the box needs to happen.
comment in response to
post
Same as before but with propaganda instead of intelligence.
It doesn't matter. We're going to have to think outside the box as it isn't just trump and a handful of fascists this time.
There isn't a single qualified individual that supports democracy in the entire administration.

Well... somebody's talking or you wouldn't be able to post this. They might not be able to officially document what Patel is doing but they can privately document it by taking their own notes.

Do people understand that trump is a drug addict too? And has been for decades? His incontinence is because of that. He did so much coke before he switched to Addy he blew a hole in the roof of his mouth. Had surgery.
He wears a palate. Sometimes it slips which is why he's unintelligible.

So is trump.
Adderall and Benzos. Has been for decades.

No. The Senate had a version that was good because it limited as to how and who could use it in order to not pay taxes. Restaurant workers, etc. The
House rejected it. So any gift or bribe can now be declared a tip.

No it's not
It requires private insurance as the middleman. Just like Medicare does.
Think Medicare Advantage Plans. That's what it is and what we are saying has to be gotten rid of.

Why don't the people who are on the right side of history as progressives get this? Why can't they say Universal Healthcare? What is so complicated about that??????

A fascist dictatorship is in power. It will be used to inflict even more pain, suffering and death than there is without it.

The drastic steps to achieve that aren't being taken. And very few seem to even know what they are.

That was excruciating fawnery to watch with the obvious intent to reinforce the notion that trump is a King and the WH is his palace.

With the attacks on, dismantling of education control of and indoctorination of, the blurring between church and state people in the US are about to get a whole lot dumber.

It's not even support of trump. It's more about the people who don't give a shit because they've given up.
We were already an oligarchy before trump. We already practice crony capitalism. The system wasn't working for them so they don't care anymore if you call it democracy or fascism.

It's alot easier for a country that practices crony capitalism with all the wealth concentrated at the top 1% to become a fascist dictatorship than it is for a fascist dictatorship to become a Democratic Socialist country.
