Now the real work begins. The work of ensuring that we, unlike too many dems down south from 2021-2024, don’t close our eyes to the reality of hard-right strategy.

It’s an interesting thing, populist politics. I don’t know why, but every dictator I have read up on from the early 20th century up all began with populist politics. They do tend to share similarities, though not always identical:

Is it just me, or does it feel like the misinformation side is winning this war for minds? To be clear about my context, misinformation is being spawned in massive quantities by the Right. They don’t have to fact-check, so they just hit Post or “Go ahead and publish”. Again and again and again.

I have never seen such an astounding display of “ignorance is bliss” in my memory, as what the Canadian Church is displaying in regards to voting for Poilievre. The bitter irony is that, “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” As someone from that background, it bothers me deeply.

This is sadly absolutely the truth. However, the lost only know how to dig into their beliefs deeper. And the harder you push, the more reality you demonstrably prove, the harder they fight against it. Their choice is fear, doubt, and disbelief, and you cannot force them to change their mind.

Y’all need to organize these protests daily. Not one and done, “Oh look, we stood up…now what?” Daily. Every single day call your representatives. Keep people on the streets, stop buying all you can related to your wannabe dictators’ empires, plan, plan, plan and enact those plans. #standup

I think the biggest takeaway I got here was to protect your mind, in part in community, and in part by realizing that it’s going to get worse before it gets better. The other side of this, which cannot be overstated, is that it only gets better with tremendous work and even personal sacrifice.

If we tax billionaires out of existence we run the serious risk of a healthy middle class & elections decided by voters, not fascist oligarchs. Do we really want to give up 800 billionaires for universal healthcare, free college, & climate justice? No Way. Sincerely, Leopards Eating Faces Party

To be explicitly clear—Trump's MAGA regime in 2025 USA deleting digital records of Black & brown people is the modern version of Hitler's Nazi regime burning books in 1933 Germany. This isn't hyperbole. It is reality. Anyone who doesn't see that is either woefully naive or consciously complicit.

9 of the top 10 poorest states are Red states. Blue counties are 71% of the U.S. economy while Red counties are only 29%. So if you ever wondered how stupid Trump’s tariff & trade war is, consider that he’s destroying what little economic opportunity Red states have, rather than admit he’s wrong.

His “Liberation Day” heralds America’s total abandonment of the world trading order and embrace of protectionism. The question for countries reeling from the president’s mindless vandalism is how to limit the damage. www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.

I think, looking back, we will eventually all agree that Joe Biden ≈ Neville Chamberlain. Sad as that is. #fascismgrowswithoutstrongaction
