Yes, It's Fascism
It’s not an omen or threat or hint of fascism—it’s the thing itself.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

The only relevant political point is that Republican members of Congress are all supporting these tariffs 100%. They could stop them at any moment. Each day is on them. Everyone with a messaging bullhorn needs to make that clear. They can pull the plug now or pay the price at the polls next year.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

It’s awesome that Senate Democrats are voting to pass Trump’s budget while he’s at the DOJ calling them a bunch of criminals and saying newspapers and MSNBC should be illegal. That’s great, good job guys.

The initiative to bring back dystopian company slavery towns that can also do a nuclear or torch the environment is something we should probably be freaking out about. Logical result of years of tech worship and letting Silicon Valley billionaires get too much capital.
