History doesn’t exactly repeat —
but it rhymes.
Authoritarianism rises one small step at a time.
This series, Signals of Fascism / Signals of Resistance, is my daily way of naming the danger—and reminding us we have power to resist it.
Be the resistance.

I Hear Trump's Name Is in the Epstein Files (Part 17)
Trump deployed the National Guard to D.C. and seized control of its police, claiming “complete and total lawlessness.” He’s lying. Violent crime in D.C. is at a six-year low.
This is about targeting political enemies and suppressing protests against his corrupt regime

BS-to-English translation:
Trump had a humiliating day at the G7, realizing that his antics would get no play. Because his country is burning down, he accomplished nothing. He decided to lie and say the Middle East needed him, but no one buys it. The G6 adults will proceed without him.

D.C. employees of the institute, founded and funded by Congress, received late-night termination notices, though most of its overseas staff were left in place.
