The Trump fascist regime doesn’t want a blank slate. If they did, they wouldn’t fight to preserve Confederate statues. They want enslavers turned into heroes and Black people reduced to silence. They revel in the cruelest parts of U.S. history—and want them back.

I don’t know what he’s worried about. We had a chance to do that 2020-2024 and Dems didn’t prosecute anyone who matters for anything serious. If we really wanted to stop them, we should have punished the leaders of the attempted coup.

Or maybe we know what “fascism” means and realize it’s an ideology and a sliding scale. Maybe many choose not to post what we would have posted a year ago because of feared repercussions. Maybe we see apartment buildings stormed, children zip tied, people seized and held without warrant, and
If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

One of my least favorite things about modern politics is the digital fundraising tools. My emails & texts are flooded by every candidate from FL to AK. As much as I want many of them to succeed, I can’t afford to give to them. Plus the messaging is usually terrible.

Crazy how in such a short time we went from openly laughing at folks who had crazy conspiracy theories about *everything* to having them be senate-confirmed heads of departments.

Every time they say “we can’t afford that,” remember: they could afford armored tanks, a dictators birthday parade, and enough tear gas to choke a city. They just don’t want you fed, safe, or alive.

Don’t know whether to be sad or amused that all these tech bros use Tolkien names for their terrible companies. And they use all the heroic names when really they should be using something like Nazgûl or Sauron if they’d ever realize they are the destruction Tolkien’s heroes were fighting against.
Anduril founder Palmer Luckey says the US should “expand our naval base on Guantanamo Bay into Liberty City [ie, a ‘freedom city’], an American Singapore of the Caribbean.” Anduril is backed by Tech Bros Peter Thiel & Marc Andreessen who support aspiring “network states” via Pronomos Capital. 1/

Cory Booker does not need the permission of usefulness to do what he's doing. He's making his voice heard, trying to inspire others. That's good in and of itself. If that goes nowhere, politically, such an outcome does not undermine the intention.

You have many choices at this moment. You could go the way of Bernie and AOC and rally progressives and speak to the needs of the people. But Newsom is making a different choice. Choosing to bring everyone down and rally around hate mongers and plutocrats.
No mention of the overt racism and conspiracy theories and disinformation peddled by the right-wing and laundered through mainstream media? OK, Newsom. You can leave.
