The "calm down, you're
overreacting" narrative is exactly
how we reached this point.
"Calm down, Donald Trump isn't a
serious political candidate - he's
never going to actually be voted in."
"Calm down, Trump isn't actually
going to repeal Roe v. Wade."

Protest culture in the US needs a bit of work, the organizers and groups are there but it’s the masses that refuse to engage further. The goal is not to make your voice heard, it is to make your demands inevitable.

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.
They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

Just a reminder, Putin promised not to invade Ukraine.
If Trump signs Putin up to his 'Board of Peace' he'll cleave the world apart and in union miliarily and economically divide it up as they want.
The world must invest more in arms and defence systems. And fast.

If Trump says he "must have complete and total control of Greenland" but then reverses on it, then why should anyone put stock in his statements about not using military force, or not running for a third term, or not trying to overturn elections?
Why can't those demurrals also be "art of the deal"?

It's important to remember that everything the Trump regime is doing was laid out in the Project 2025 playbook.
The current struggle is not a prelude to war with the Far Right - *we are at war*.
It's long past time for centrists and the "I'm not political" crowd to wake the fuck up.
