“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

This isn’t Moscow or Beijing. It’s Chicago. Masked federal agents grabbed U.S. citizens protesting ICE and threw them into an unmarked van.
“Who are you? Where are you taking them?” people shouted. “You are kidnapping them!”

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt was caught on a hidden camera saying the government will “redact every Republican” from the Epstein files and leave only the Democrats.
He also revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security “to keep her mouth shut.”

Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained.
As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”

Just finished the finale of S3 of And Just Like That, and uh... Carrie's book ending? A woman in 1864 faced with being "on her own" is not the empowering message Carrie seems to think it is. Did she not see Little Women?!

Every time a queer/trans person (or someone who they can label as such) commits an act of violence, it is used to demonize the entire community. And yet, despite the fact that cis white men carry out the majority of violent acts, this same demonization doesn't seem to occur. Convenient. 🤔
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.

FWIW, "yours for the restoration of the Republic" was a common salutation American fascists gave to each other in the 1950s and 1960s. This is from a 1952 letter by Ohio white supremacist terrorist Peter Xavier. The rest of the rhetoric here might be familiar too.

John Bolton is a hardline conservative. For those unfamiliar with his name, he was basically the closest thing American politics had to Trump's abrasiveness many years before Trump entered the scene.
