Three+ years ago I already said that MAGA was drifting away from fascism — drifting hard rightward.
So *none* of this is surprising.
And yet still…, it’s a gut punch to actually live it.

Meaningless. The crime scene has already been completely contaminated
BREAKING:
A federal judge in Minnesota has blocked the Trump admin from "destroying or altering evidence" related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.

Clearly, this is the event that will now liberate them, at least, in the ICE funding debate.
That Alex had to pay for this with his life is tragic, but it is also a commentary on our times.
Progress will now be measured in blood.

Peple need to understand the kabuki dance politicians have to perform. The GOP has passed into a post-politics phase (anti-politics), but the Dems have not. That is not primarily *their* fault, but due to the demands of those who might vote for them.

It has emerged quite recently as an anti-ICE self-defense movement, though there appears to be a lot of contestation going on here.
It is the first open, organized, far left-wing revolutionary self-defense org. that I’ve seen come into the space.
That they are not NBPP is a *very* good thing.

The Black Panthers currently in Philly etc, are not connected w/ the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) of Malik Shahbaz, which was a hyper-nationalist (hence RW) movement.
They are an organization led by a guy named Paul Birdsong, that claims to be drawing its inspiration from Huey Newton/Bobby Seale

It’s fucking murder. No doubt at all after watching this. The federal agent shot the unarmed man in the back AFTER another officer had already taken the gun from his holster.

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

You can see the first shooter — after AP has been disarmed — and then a second (and third?) shooter piling on…, well after AP has already been shot at close range.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

I have often argued that we are in the 4th fascism
In historical fascism, in NeoFascism, in the happy-face fascism of de Benoist, ideology was one of the primary movers.
But one wonders if in the late fascism of decay, which I have called pirañha fascism, it is not other factors that are in play.
