I’m transgender;
I made a lot of Nazis & transphobes very angry by getting them kicked off Reddit;
I know too much about hate groups on 2015-2022 Reddit;
I am learning to read sheet music, play a keyboard, build synth patches, and I enjoy folk music & October Project.

Do not follow / speak to me if you believe that the victims of major violent events (including fascist movements taking power) deserve what happens to them.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.

If (IF) the Democratic Party, at some point in the future, wants to recruit away the rank and file of the MAGA movement, they will need to show (not tell) them that MAGA made them villains (can be done!) and that "DEI" can make them heroes again (can be done!)
IMNSHO Hitler had three important aspects
🔘 Excellent Speechmaking Skills

🔘 Blamed Jews & Communists for Bad

The importance / significance of the TheRedPill / Men Going Their Own Way movement in popularising The_Donald cannot be understated

It's easy to try to find a more complicated or bigger answer to "why" Hitler rose to power because it led to such monumental historical events but really "talks good on radio" and "blame the jews and communists for anything bad" really was enough. He wasnt smart or shrewd or tactical. Just a guy.

this is such an important thing to recognize and call out
the fascism is mostly done being nice at this point, but it got here through well dressed men politely asking questions while the rest of us were scolded for pointing out where those questions led

The Telegraph would be automatically boycotted, Suzanne Moore’s career over, if the headline read “This must be the year Britain finally kills off homosexual ideology” or “ … Jewish heresy” or “… Catholic popery”, etc
Then ‘gender critical’ transphobic activist-journalists drop headlines like this after years of replacing the word “people” with “ideology”….
Nobody should be surprised that trans people are upset!
TERFs barely bother with dog-whistles anymore, when talk of trans-extermination is so blatant! 😖

It’s remarkable how quickly Vance and his cohort have gone from “Trump could be America’s Hitler” (derogatory) to “Trump could be America’s Hitler” (not derogatory).

It is Not. Just. Trump.
A Senate conviction in an impeachment proceeding disqualifies a person from running for President ever again.
Republicans protected Trump twice, even after he waited hours to do anything while our VP, Congress, and our Capitol were under attack.

Yarvin a leading figure in filing the swastikas off Nazism
“You must embrace neoHitler to avoid neoHitler” doublespeak
“You must embrace neoHitler to avoid neoHitler” doublespeak
Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.”
Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

Disparate Impact - an extremely important (and notoriously difficult to understand) concept in law, and in understanding bigotry & bias, & how to identify, counter, & prevent them
There exists in the law a concept called "disparate impact." It's one of the most important aspects of the kind of law I practice, and it's been under attack by the right for decades.
This is a gross oversimplification, but disparate impact is something like this:

Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

This is a great thread (no surprises there) an also underscores why I chuckle at a lot of conspiracy theorist on the left and right: getting dis/misinfo to go viral is comically easy to do in an enabling environment like the one we have. There’s no need for super complex, costly DarkOps!
The rumors about daycare centers are extremely "fit" for virality: having both novelty & familiarity (drawing on anti-immigrant tropes of criminality & exploitation); making emotional/identity appeals; are *participatory* in that ppl can create their own “evidence” by investigating local centers.

… already had Ted Cruz’ phone number …
Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

The most telling Bari Weiss incident came when "The Free Press" excused George Floyd's murder, @radleybalko.bsky.social highlighted factual errors, and Weiss's reaction was not to make corrections, but to invite Balko on a podcast.

My Cassandra cred's pretty solid--20+ years on far right beat, ten on Trump, nobody ever accused me of being a ray of sunshine. But at the end of this bad year, I think this too is true: fascism took so much, & yet nowhere near all it could & wants. There's so much left to fight for.
