My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.
Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Russia wants Trump to go to war with Venezuela, with Wagner keeping the oil safe, giving the Trumps a cut of it.
War will worsen the refugee crisis, flooding the US border, helping elect anti-immigrant far-right parties backed by Kremlin disinformation and dark money.
