The Trump era in a nutshell:

Ordinary citizens are holding ICE accountable, while large law firms are doing nothing.

Small businesses are speaking out, while large corporations remain silent.

Independent media show moral urgency, while legacy media reports "both sides."

Hitler’s reign of terror was anything but inevitable.

A slim but great book that illustrates this is Eric Vuillard’s excellent L’Ordre du Jour, translated into English as The Order of the Day
(It opens with the 20 February 1933 meeting of Hitler with Germany’s leading industrialists for financing)

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

If reporters for major news organizations got off X, they'd soon realize how completely deranged *federal government officials* are. Marinating in this shit day in and day out makes it seem like the new normal.
"Triggered much?" is what a troll says when one of their targets gets bothered by their posts. Here, senior US official Greg Bovino redeploys it to defend/celebrate a literal murder in the physical world.

Donald Trump is scared out of his mind that Republicans are going to lose the House in the midterms, if not sooner given how fast things are unraveling, which is why he’s accelerating his authoritarian and fascist plans at a pace we’ve never seen before. This isn’t confidence, it’s panic.

Separate from the obvious misogyny of the last few days, it’s been striking to watch the right wing media apparatus really confront the role of normie middle-aged women as a leading and increasingly radical force of opposition to trump

No decent person or organization should be on Xitter any more.
Yet again, Elon Musk is pushing the insanely racist Great Replacement Theory that has directly inspired several mass murders from his fellow white supremacists.

The richest man in the world who controls a massive media platform is *repeatedly* pushing this garbage and it should be a global scandal.

In a week when a century happened, from VZ to MN, the biggest story was Trump's vow that nothing can stop him but 'my own morality' and 'my own mind'
