I actually do think the deeply toxic US version of ‘free speech’ being enforced digitally all over the world with very little regulation has been deeply detrimental to the rest of society. This form of digital imperialism has no place in the world.

They'll stick to an official line of not explicitly saying it, keep all the face-saving off ramps open, it can be spun as doing what he asked for. But this is an actual for-real military deployment in response to a fear of an American invasion. Soldiers to defend themselves from us, the rogue state.
Denmark is underway to move more troops to Greenland in cooperation with undisclosed allies.
Preparatory staff are in place to solve logistics for potential larger Danish forces.
Details are sparse but dr.dk reports that first plane landed 2 days ago.

The fascists thought they would be able to leverage your bigotry against trans people in order to create a framework for stripping away rights that they can then use on you, and you and your “sincere concerns” proved them right; congratulations, you played yourself.

Think of what an accelerationist could do in Minneapolis with just a van and a long gun. Think John Lee Malvo and John Allen Muhammad. Drive around Minn until you come across a clusterfuck like this with lots of civilians and armed gestapo agents running around

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

2) Remove immigration cases from the current 'administrative' DOJ courts into the actual Article III court system.
Ideally, I'd like to get rid of all pseudo-courts hiding in the executive branch - if we're going to have a 'unitary executive' it can have no judicial functions.

Then the organizational changes (also requiring Congress):
1) Dismantle DHS. ICE and CBP are decommissioned, their duties taken over be a reborn Immigration and Naturalization Services. INS goes back to Justice, Customs goes back to Treasury, and so on.
Reset to 2002, in effect. DHS sucks.

Amendments are hard, but this is the obvious thing which can only be fixed with an amendment and it obviously needs to get done.
The upside of an amendment is that the amendment process is the only way to get around constitutional stipulations against bills of attainder and ex post facto laws.

First, the only amendment: An amendment declaring that the president cannot pardon himself or any officer, member of employee of the executive branch, current or former. It would also specify any existing pardons of executive branch members are void.

I suppose in no particular order, here is a list of what I'd do, sorted by the mechanism for doing it.

I can’t believe we’re doing this. People should use the analogies that resonate with them to understand and motivate themselves to fight fascism. Other people should use other analogies. There is no one true analogy. That is all.
This entire line of argument - not THAT historical analogy but THIS historical analogy - is confused. It's a cliche but a useful one sometimes: history doesn't repeat, it rhymes. That our moment rhymes with more than one other moment is to be expected. Trying to pin down the best most exact rhyme is
the slave catchers did not go door to door and brutalize random passerby on the street, they were bounty hunting gangs, Gestapo is fine

i do think it's worth noting and meditating on the fact that a lot of black organizers just straight up have a longer historical memory of this shit than our white oppressors.
To be honest, the recourse to denying the Nazi parallels in favor of domestic ones seems reflexive; like a corrective aimed at a banal status quo that reified American exceptionalism. But when you look at the people in power now, and what they're drawing inspiration from and... it's the Nazis.
