I would like to think that this is not a joke or just somebody trying to troll like the behavior in X (Twitter). So, taking you seriously I would argue to separate answers: 1. Anti-fascism have the anti prefix meaning opposed to, meaning oppose to fascism. 2. Fascism is the opposite to Democracy.

“The reality is that the court is adjusting the law to make place for arbitrary power.”

To understand the Supreme Court's role in Trump's authoritarian project, I turned to the idea of a dual state: an authoritarian regime that keeps up a facade of normalcy

Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

How do courts handle the Paris Agreement? A study of 148 cases shows they often ‘avoid’ the topic. But ‘alignment’ is a powerful tool. In 🇧🇪 Klimaatzaak case, the court ordered stronger emission cuts, showing how litigation can advance climate goals. @klimaatzaak.bsky.social
