remember, fascists are small men who want to feel big, dorks who want to look cool, simpletons who cant handle complexity
theyre losers who embrace a low effort ideology that lets them win, playing on easy mode to feel like theyve conquered something

This was one of the bosses' explicit goals in getting Trump elected - crush the strong Biden era labor market in order to discipline workers and make them submit to abuse and exploitation. That, not burrito taxi prices, was the actual economic stakes of the 2024 election

Social media is awash with videos of men filming themselves approaching women in public spaces and attempting to flirt. In many cases, the videos are filmed and uploaded without the women’s consent. https://cnn.it/4qtIsvB

Fascism cannot produce art that lives because living art relies on unqualified engagement with an other, a challenge to the self. Fascism can only ever conjure an ever more atrociously gilded mirror reflecting back faces that refuses even the reality of time.

This is how it happens. History is far more pedestrian than our retrospective imagination and Hollywood dramatizations. There’s no black-and-white Schnindler’s List cinematography, or dramatic background music. Totalitarianism is very drab and mundane, and by the time it is consummated it’s too late
THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.
I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

The development of the Reich's concentration camp system was just as gradual, ad-hoc, fits-and-starts, ebbs-and-flows of a process as the permanent DHS camp system being developed now, including bureaucratic turf wars, different models for size, location, security level, goals for prisoners, etc.

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Honor killing. Let’s call it what it is, MAGA does honor killings of women and children.
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.
A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.
Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

An agent told the teen to call her family and ask them to pick her up. But the agent said that if they came, ICE would send the entire family to Texas. The girl writes “My family decided not to come and pick me up as a result of this threat. ICE decided to take me to a hotel.”
