Mark Bray keeps it real: it’s really not that hard to see through the Trump admin’s lies and fear mongering!

Wishing the best to him and his family, plus all of us who are unfortunately committed to being anti-fascist no matter the personal costs!

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

It takes teams of assholes to make evil choices come true and destroy countless lives, but on this particular team I do blame Elon Musk most of all.

He should be remembered as a mass murderer (among the many other awful things he is)

There's plenty of complexity to the story of Ian Roberts, the Black Iowa superintendent arrested by ICE.

But the way the @nytimes.com chose to frame this article is racist and shameful.

The Superintendent’s Bio Seemed Too Good to Be True. It Was.

Add LA times to the “being stenographers for fascists” = “I’m a journalist” club

With garbage like this, who needs a well-informed public? We can just roll over and accept lies as truth, and Stephen Miller as President!

Stephen Miller leads GOP charge equating Democrats to 'domestic terrorists'

Trump advisors amp up extreme rhetoric against Democrats during government shutdown, immigration raids

Miller's rhetoric comes amid a federal crackdown on Portland, Ore., where he says the president has unchecked authority to protect federal lives and property.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Is there a website that tracks every day peoples’ brave interference of the new fascist status quo?

I’m thinking obstructions of ICE, sandwiches thrown, harassment of MAGA figures in public, etc.

I imagine someone must be tracking & compiling, & I’d like to see more beyond mere social media feeds.

In the last 2 weeks MAGA aligned people have done 2 attempted mass shootings of a gay bar and pride center in Arizona and Texas, murdered 2 teenage girls for mocking Charlie Kirk, and torched a judge's home.

Meanwhile, the government mobilized the military to go after the left.

NEW inside CBS—

Staff are insulted executives will spend $150 million to buy The Free Press & make self-proclaimed “Zionist fanatic” Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief, while many of them are set to be laid off.

“If I wrote 90 percent of what’s on The Free Press, I would get flagged and fired,” one says.

‘What the F**k?’ CBS News Insiders Prepare for Takeover by Self-Described ‘Zionist Fanatic’

Bari Weiss is expected to be announced as editor-in-chief of CBS News, as employees worry her new role will bring a pro-Israel bias, more censorship, and lower editorial standards.

The “this isn’t who we are people” should open a history book.

And maybe then learn what actually works against fascism. Give you hint, it isn’t procedural liberalism or ceding discursive ground to fascist ideas and Othering.

I went to a weekend protest for Gaza in the Bay Area. There were maybe 2000 people there. Out of 6 million ppl, only radical lefties showed up.

The USA is a pathetic, apathetic country. Ppl’s inaction to even save themselves from fascism, not to mention lack of global solidarity, is beyond sad.

I always try to keep scale in mind with political action. This is about 3% of Italy's population. A U.S. equivalent would be ~10 million people.

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

This isn’t a rhetorical question: what the fuck is wrong with the New York Times?

@jay.bsky.team is happy to let this hate speech (completely misinformation btw!) go unchecked on this platform but then claims they care about moderation when it comes to Gazans raising funds to survive, or people making jokes at a dead racist asshole’s expense.

So you’re on team fascist Jay? I see
