Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

New in PN: The regime's mind-bending lies are a tactic
"The VP told them they could kill anyone who annoyed them. Pretti annoyed them. So they killed him. Now the lies Bovino and Noem are telling about Pretti’s death are intended to encourage further extrajudicial executions and likely will do so."

The Gestapo in 1930’s Germany didn’t have to worry about witnesses carrying pocket cameras, so it felt unconstrained about snatching people out off their homes, or right off the street. The 21st century advent of ubiquitous phone cameras has changed the equation. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Sorry, but being nice to 🧊 after they've outright murdered US citizens is what's gotten us to this point.
We cannot rely on traditional law enforcement or voting to solve this.
