I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

We are pulling on one thread in the far right coalition: the strain of apocalyptic imaginary alongside a future vision of a gated city (celestial, earthly, digital, extra-planetary). It's not the entire story of neofascism today. Let's share others, like this: gilbert-achcar.net/age-of-neofa...

Any traders with inside information that Trump was going to walk back his tariffs — some of them, presumably, Trump family members and cronies — just made a fortune. It all feels like chaos until you look more closely at who is winning.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

It is unacceptable that two British MPs have been denied entry to the West Bank. For Palestinians, this kind of authoritarian treatment is a daily reality. That reality is called apartheid — and our government is enabling it. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.
