I think the most wrong I have ever been as a political scientist was when I said in a public forum in 2020 that there would not be political violence in the US (Jan 6 was 2 mos later). Tonight’s purges are a clear precursor to more future such violence. This is textbook authoritarian abuse stuff.

If you want to read the book apparently all the New York Times tech reporters are talking about today—by way of asking, “Seth Abramson wrote a book?” and “What's Google?” and “Can I learn about what books authors wrote using the Google?”—it’s below. (Odd how many NYT employees hate NYT bestsellers.)

2 fucking headlines right next to each other

Countries need to stop being cowards and ban Elon Musk’s disgusting Nazi website. Yes, right wing extremists in those countries will squeal about it. That’s better than continuing to tolerate a website that’s actively attempting to put those extremists in power globally.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Pretty bold for the leader of a country where the head of state has been assassinated.... many times. To declare himself a king. But fuck me right?

The boycott is Canada's first line of defence in a long and hard fight against gangsters and fascists. When American politicians see the mounting job losses they will start getting rattled. My message to the world is to join the boycott of all things American. No pasaran. Canada #strongasfuck

History will judge the Republican Party harshly. None of Trump’s bullshit would work without them pretending it’s all true.

This isn't a unique revelation - though I feel compelled to say it for myself. If you live in North America, you are doing now exactly what you would have in 1939 Germany. Time for actions to meet circumstances.

Fascism is not on its way. It has arrived.

Prepare yourself as best you can. These white supremacists consider themselves above the law, intend to end American democracy by any means necessary, and are dangerous beyond belief. It may not happen tonight, or next month, or this year—but the sad reality is that it also could happen at any time.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

This week Trump, Vance, and Hegseth have sought to actively repudiate virtually every foundational value, idea, ideal and structure of the past 100 years of US natsec policy including our alliances, defense of democracy, opposition to aggression, and rejection of both fascism and authoritarianism.

There is no DOGE. Full stop. There is the USDS, which may stand for the United States DOGE Service, but American journalism uses acronyms in its reporting so I presume we would never see that phrase. Any major media outlet referring to the USDS as DOGE is inexplicably running ads for a Musk meme.

🧵🧵🧵 Here are major media’s favorite euphemisms to avoid describing Trump as “fascist” or “authoritarian”: / “Boundary-testing agenda” (WaPo) / “An aggressive flexing of power” (NYT) / “Testing the limits of presidential power” (ABC) / “Trump tries a softer tone — and a harder one, too” (WaPo) 1/4

BLUE JAYS BASEBALL IS BACK (Restating my foreboding that many baseball games this season get canceled or moved on account of fascism.) LET'S PLAY BALL!!!!

"Gulf of America" is just a loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up or look the other way.

Folks, with all due respect to the estimable Timothy Snyder, we’re way past obeying in advance. We’ve moved on to succumbing in real time and enabling through our own passivity.
