In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

We get it, you're all Nazis. You don't have to keep convincing us.
Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

I regret to say there has been a lot of foolishness on some sections the left about #Ukraine, echoing Russian and far-right talking points. (Just as shamefully, the same people supported Assad in Syria). Now is the time to put that foolishness aside. We should all stand with Ukraine.

In this week's column, I explore what I see as a very real prospect of systemic collapse, caused by Trump's actions, and suggest we start preparing.
I try to explain how complex systems fail, and suggest some of the failure paths we could be on.

There are many ways Trump could trigger a global collapse. Here’s how to survive if that happens | George Monbiot
It could be wildfires, a pandemic or a financial crisis. The super-rich will flee to their bunkers – the rest of us will have to fend for ourselves, writes columnist George Monbiot

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth.
Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

There is no automatic reversion to "normal" in politics. Nor will the timid business-as-usual which got us into this mess get us out of it.
We'll achieve a better society after Trump and similar tyrants only through massive and focused movement-building. It has to start right now.

Nice haul today from one of my favourite places! 🌞
Got @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social 's Dead Astronauts—I really want to find out if there are dead astronauts in there; and @margaret.bsky.social 's short story anthology that I'm also looking forward to a lot!
And some other good—I hope—reads.

Elon Musk did a nazi salute in front of a wildly applauding crowd.
Because he's a fucking nazi.
