Mal Lanyon is the same bloke who declared in September that he would be adopting a "laser-like" focus on combating antisemitism, & whose Force in November approved a neo-Nazi rally outside NSW parliament with a banner reading 'Abolish The Jewish Lobby'.

So, y'know.

The flimsiness of legitimating rhetoric is the whole point: Trump is sidestepping even his own official legal parameters to uphold a twisted vision of flagrant, unlimited US power. This is an openly fascist policy—the brazen use of violence for national interests.

“The slippage is thus between "might MAKES right" (the classic moral nihilist description) to "might IS right" (a more prescriptive frame, a la early/proto fascists like Ragnar Redbeard). Miller is definitely engaged in that”

Every single Proud Boy and Oath Keeper who attacked the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 was protected and supported by his friends (or coworkers) on the local police force back home.

They were also protected by MPD on Nov 14 and Dec 12 2020 in DC.

That, to me, is the big picture of January 6th.

​I. The present order of the world is now giving way, and a new order now struggles to emerge and take hold. This struggle is at once being waged at the scale of the Earth, but also within the microphysics of everyday life.

A really good article on the concerns around centralized control of your digital ID as more services inevitably start to require it. 🫳🪪🫲

"One feature of the licenses most states are adopting that may prove to be particularly dangerous is revocation — how and when people’s IDs can be canceled."
The big push for state digital driver's licenses is effectively a movement to increase the power of big companies and government to control individuals.

Anyone defending this is a propagandist and they deserve the worst.

The three simplified pillars of Fascism

🔘 Excellent Speechmaking Skills of Daddy Figure

🔘 Promises to Make Men Heroes Again

🔘 Blames [Ethno-Religious Group] & Communists for Bad

*****

In the formulary, LGBT are considered both Communist (Marxist, Bolshevik) and the fault of "Globalists" (Jews)
they're doing it for gender, imo
It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

This country consistently falls short when addressing white crime, ensuring that someone like Trump never holds power again, and when Democrats compromise on issues that don't impact them.
The response to Jan. 6 was a stated attempted to restore and protect democratic governance. Five years on, I think it's safe to say it—we—failed.

We're in the most "what is going to disappear that's never coming back" place we've been at with the regime since the DOGE massacre days, I think.

This time on a global level, at a scale that is difficult to even process
The regime is dead serious about Greenland. They're totally high on the Venezuela coup and think they could get away with anything right now, no consequences.

It's, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"

But for war
I think the understandable tendency has been to treat this as a tasteless joke, but in light of all we've seen to date, we need to take seriously the possibility that they may be insane enough to try to seize the territory of a peaceful ally by force for... no real reason.

2000 federal mercenaries are deploying in Minneapolis to terrorize and kidnap people. This is the front line of the regime's program to introduce fascism: rule by brute force.

But they can be beaten. Study Chicago organizers' guide to grassroots resistance to ICE:

It's recently come to light that an ICE recruitment event is scheduled to be held on Tuesday 1/13 and Wednesday 1/14 at the Hilton in St Petersburg. We need as many people as possible to call in to the location and tell the Hilton management this event directly aids in community kidnapping!

Sincere question and I hope we can make a safe place for this discussion, are there people out there who feel like they don't know how to get involved and make a difference?

What do you feel like the barriers are for you getting involved in organizing?

Have you tried and failed?

The NYT would murder every independent journalist and bury them in shallow graves if it could. It's not content having built fascism, it feels imperiously entitled to strangling all critics and scouring the history books of any record of its crimes.
We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times.

Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.
