The fascists don’t just want people to be afraid of dissenting. They also want you to feel hopeless and cynical, convinced change can’t happen.
They want you to just take care of your own life because the greater world is too much.
They want you to feel this precisely because things *can* change.

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

I will never not be surprised by the ability of some people (some of them, very high-profile people) of talking a lot without saying anything at all.

The EU - not Russia, not China, but the EU - is the new enemy.
The EU stands in the way to the emergence of the new cultural hegemony, being presented as a remnant of an old non-zero-sum-game world governed by the respect of the rules, solidarity progress.
No pasarán! They shall not pass!
