Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”

ICE will "no longer report the number of transgender people in their custody."
"ICE has rolled back trans care requirements in [..] detention centers and removed a 2015 memo governing how the agency treats trans migrants."

How a thrown sandwich became a symbol of D.C.’s resistance
In an already surreal moment, Washingtonians have embraced bread puns, sandwich flags, and sub-themed street art as a form of protest.

Eight years ago tonight, in response to the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, people in Durham, NC pulled down a confederate monument, prompting people in Chapel Hill to do the same a year later.
This, in turn, inspired the toppling of countless Confederate monuments around the country.

When You Topple the Statues, Don't Forget to Uproot the Pedestals
In Durham, protestors showed how anyone can tear down the legacy of white supremacy. Uprooting the base—the root causes of white supremacy & powerlessness over our own lives—demands the same approach.

I mean, Big Ballz getting jumped by Romanians over a crypto scam being the pretext for the National Guard occupying DC lines up pretty well with the theory in Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich that the Nazis heard a random Dutch arsonist was gonna burn the Reichstag and just waited for him to do it.

This is well-done and informative, but I think it's important to keep in mind that these are deliberate branding strategies created and promoted by White Nationalists themselves. "2.0" came from a 2010 Occidental Dissent blog post, and "3.0" was a Rob Rundo thing that other people went along with.
I spent an unreasonable amount of time here on the differences between modern fascism and what people are referring to when they say fascism 1.0 2.0 and 3.0:

The USPS is a vital public service that serves every single community. Wells Fargo created a report outlining how they could break it up and sell it off - that would destroy jobs, raise prices, and gut service. Postal workers and the public are fighting back — and we won’t be sold out.
