If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

This isn't a crisis we fact-check our way out of, we need to build something bigger and more radical to resist the tide of authoritarianism engulfing our democracies. We can't wait for institutions to act, it's up to us to organise.

I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

So Kyle Rittenhouse, who attended a protest armed with a loaded assault rifle and killed 2 people is a right-wing hero.
But Alex Pretti who had a holstered, permitted handgun, was recording ICE, and tried to help a pepper-sprayed woman deserved to die?
No one is buying this BS.

Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Chris Clem, a former Border Patrol agent, gave a highly inaccurate description of the actions of Alex Pretti on the day he was killed. Pretti never brandished a weapon. His gun was taken from him before he was shot. He was shot several times after he was disarmed.

The Trump Administration is going on a full court press against the lawful carry of firearms. I'd be interested in Kash Patel's reaction to the Virginia Citizen Defense League's lobby day in Richmond on Monday, which featured lots of armed protesters. All perfectly legal.

Notice the whole time in this interview that he calls Alex Pretti, who was shot at least 10 times, a "suspect"
BASH: Where did he assault an officer? It looked to us that he was approached by them when he was helping another individual who was pushed down
BOVINO: We don't need a suspect's help in a law enforcement scene
BASH: So when somebody is pushed down, you stand back?
BOVINO: Follow directions

BOVINO: He was in the scene actively impeding and assaulting law enforceme--
