So the plan is Don Jr. and Eric Trump corner the market to become the biggest drug cartel in the Western hemisphere.

CIA controls production, the US military kills the competition with Hellfire missiles, CBP controls drug routes into and out of the US, and ICE raids the local distributors?

In a world without Section 230:

😩 Big Tech companies everyone hates would win. Giants like Meta and Google have armies of lawyers to navigate compliance

😩 Alternative platforms like Bluesky and Mastodon would likely shut down, along with Wikipedia, review sites, how-to resources, small forums, etc

The reason we continue to see Democrats literally capitulating with fascists at key moments where actual continued resistance would have fractured the fascists power is because fracturing the systemic powers that support fascism would also destroy neoliberalism and its theater in place of action.

Just a reminder that Trump had his attorney general preempt the Mueller Report with a self-serving “summary” and the media ran with it and it defined everything that came after.

Something to remember as we wait for a probably doctored and scrubbed “Epstein Files” report.

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

I was suspended right before the Epstein emails were released. If the BlueSky search engine works, you will find a wealth of posts from me about the people in those emails, who I wrote about in my books HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT and THEY KNEW. This is the work I feared would be erased on Twitter.

Right now, there are attorneys, pr flaks, and other lackeys who are literally burning the midnight oil. They're scouring the Epstein emails for mentions of their wealthy and connected clients, law firms, politicians and others. They're putting together the damage control strategy.

All these connections might seem strange til you realize how few people are involved, how tiny Epstein's world was. It's a tiny, horrible bubble of privilege and power, where people see forcibly taking sex or elections as no big deal. As their birthright.

Let the Epstein files burn it all down. 6/

Sending love to everyone whose health care has been jeopardized by the Democratic cave-in. These Democratic elites will not be part of the solution. We must proceed with that understanding.

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them.

I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.
Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Today I learned that life was too good for most everyone so people started making up problems to get worked up about and that's why fascism is rising around the world. That, and cell phones. Truly smooth brain stuff from Frank Fukuyama's interview on the Bulwark podcast.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

the nation's rich assholes were all so violently butthurt by Lina Khan doing the bare minimum on antitrust, and Covid shifting the balance of power toward labor by a fraction of one percent, that they just threw completely in with an idiot con man fascist
