When people call it fascism, it's almost giving Trump too much credit. It's just a looting spree. All the ideological moves - the murders at sea, the masked goons arresting folks in the streets, the collapse of rule of law - are just cover to steal as much as he can

Trump is heading to Scotland for a five-day visit, hoping to escape the chaos in D.C. and growing scrutiny over the Epstein files. Meanwhile, Scotland 🏴 is gearing up with mass protests and even “Twinned with Epstein Island” signs planted near his golf course. 😂 Love you, Scotland!

It’s been nearly four weeks since Ukraine agreed to an unconditional ceasefire.
Since then, Russia has stalled attempts to reach a peaceful resolution.
To end the war, we must strengthen our support for Ukraine.

The value of the 1700+ nuclear weapons Ukraine gave away in 1994 was $2 trillion. Under the USSR, these weapons were aimed at the US. During negotiations, Ukraine offered to give them to America. Instead the US insisted they go to russia. We agreed because we trusted their promise to protect us.

Trump's 'deal' was always going to fail. Both the extortion of Ukraine and the pro-Russia fake peace. Krasnov lost it when Zelensky criticised Putin, enemy of the free world. America has left the free world and we have just to get used to that and figure out what next with our allies in Europe.
In the end, our generation has often wondered what we would do when confronted with fascism. It's here now.

I analysed 76 actions of the administration since inauguration and then searched for *meaningful* opposition to each.
I grouped the types of opposition and considered what we can learn from both them & actions where opposition has been lacking 1/24
