I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Every time I go out with my friends, we play everyone’s favorite game: “how long can we go without talking about the rise of fascism in the United States?” Someone usually loses quickly, and we spend the rest of the evening in a state of despair.

If there is anything I can encourage of everyone as we fall deeper into fascism, what people do is what ultimately matters. People can easily say the right things, but if their actions don't match, then all they have to offer are comforting lies.

The cruelty is the point

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @joshuaeakle.com · 9d

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Special education.
Targeting the most vulnerable children and families in our society for the lulz.
Tell me again how very Christian this is.
The cruelty here is unfathomable.

Special education staff decimated after Trump administration shutdown firings: Sources

The nation’s special education services have been significantly damaged after Fridays’s mass layoffs within the Department of Education, sources told ABC News.

Under Nazi rule, clergy who refused to support the regime were surveilled, arrested, assaulted, and in some cases, executed. The Nazis publicly aligned themselves with Christian values while targeting religious figures who defended the vulnerable or spoke against state violence.

There’s very little question at this point that Trump is an authoritarian—the question is, how skilled is he?

"Extremely disturbing": What does Trump's "antifa" executive order actually do?

"The national security state is a wonderful tool for a skilled authoritarian to crush American democracy."

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Sometimes, we forget the rich only have power because we build the empires they sit on. And we can stop building.

Sometimes, the only thing holding them up is the quiet hope that we’ll never realize we can walk away.

To all the ignoramuses who said we were overreacting about Trump getting elected again, that it somehow wouldn't be worse than the first time, I hope it's negatively affecting your life in ways you never thought possible.
