It’s probably a good time for people to wrap their heads around a near total monopoly of news and media by either overt fascists or fascist-friendly accomplices.
This isn’t doomerism, it’s preparing for how reality will be warped and weaponized and understanding the fight we have in front of us.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. Convincing colleagues to vote with them is the literal job of politicians - if they can’t do that, they can’t do their jobs. They own this shutdown and all of the consequences.

NEW — Trump, who has fomented violence his entire political career, now claims that political violence is done mainly by “the left.”
It’s not true. In fact, scientific research says the exact opposite.

The Right is such a psychosexual disaster.
First the shooter was trans, then he was radicalized by his professors, then he had a trans roommate and obviously they were in a sexual relationship and it was soooooo overpowering it turned him into a killer.
It’s impossible to keep up with this shit.

Hey, Mike, quick question -- if *Republicans* call the other side communists and socialists and enemies of the state, are they also responsible for some deranged people in our society who will take that as a cue to act?
Or is this a responsibility only Democrats have?

This is step one in how we lose free and fair elections. It’s not that Trump will “cancel” the midterms.
It’s just everyone has to vote in person, and urban downtowns will be filled with ICE checkpoints and intimidating National Guard troops to “double check” that only citizens vote.

the second one was committed by someone in a fake cop outfit. seems relevant given that we now have masked paramilitary ICE cops unleashed on DC
If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear
Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

Folks, I rarely swear, especially in public.
But, Trump is going full fascist, and the GOP and its corporate cheerleaders all support him and his abuse of power.
We need Democrats to fight back.
If they steal sats, then we will respond.
If their feelings are hurt, fuck 'em.
Enough.

The propagandists running the @DHSgov account are deliberately pushing thinly-veiled neo-Nazi material through the official communications channels of the U.S. government. Their goal is stirring outrage (to which they will express fake outrage) and signaling to their followers where they're going.
DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?
Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.
