Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

I’ve said it before but it is embarrassing that so many intellectuals spent years in small factional battles over the propriety of calling this fascism.
In preparation for next week’s parade/demonstration, tanks are being moved into Washington, DC today. Unprecedented.

Brain drain (makes me feel like saying stupid coup again, with their make America stupid again strategies).....
When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

This is a pretty big attack on the First Amendment. And an encroachment on universities' powers to decide what protests to allow and who to expel.....
We need to talk about Trump’s threat to defund universities unless they arrest and expel protesters.
We’re watching classic fascistic institutional capture in real time and if this continues unabated we’re going to look up and live in a world without escape. The time to fight is now.

Was out getting groceries this morning, overheard a few conversations that were basically:
-- He what?
-- He shut it down.
-- He can't, we need that.
-- And I voted for him.
-- So did I.
-- Motherfucker.
Some were about health, one about WIC programs, all seemed to be Trump voters.
