I've got a piece up at @liberalcurrents.com clarifying whether Trump is trying to install merely an authoritarian regime or a properly fascist one in the federal government. My conclusion: we're facing Actual Fascism. www.liberalcurrents.com/yes-its-fasc...

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

I really hate this take. You have no idea why people didn't vote. We live in a country with systemic voter suppression. Election Day isn't a national holiday in the US and there's a host of mechanisms set up to encourage people in many states not to vote.

Have to love the incredulous tone that drips over Senator Whitehouse's disbelief that Marco Rubio has always been this way.

this is the no fucking shit of all no fucking shits and yet barely anyone anywhere is saying it.

This is your monthly post reminding you that Alt NPS/ @altnps.bsky.social s.bsky.social is a grift with cult-like tendencies (temping people with a secret in-group) that is s0 g0oD at clandestine operations that they just post coded messages regularly on publicly viewable social media.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

This is House only. Non-signers include: Every Republican (obviously) Suzanne Bonamici Ed Case Sharice Davids Don Davis Laura Gillen Jared Golden Adam Gray Marie Gluesenkamp Perez

Truly disheartening to see an example of a Trump supporting Dem doing it because he thinks it will benefit his aspirations. Just the most loser of energies.

I tried to get records of this gentleman's arrest -- César Francisco Tovar. The WSJ says he was pulled over in San Antonio, taken into custody, and then sent to ICE detention before being shipped to CECOT.

Just Aktion T4 vibes all the way down
