There's nothing really profound going on here. Trump is leading a fascist takeover. Business and media are for the most part enabling it.
We can defeat Trump but we need to be operating at a much bigger scale than we currently are. And the goal has to be to remove him from power. Before 2026.

I wonder if all these threats to African American institutions are linked to the flood of Fox News personalities screaming “we need to fight back”?
Eh, probably just a series of incredible coincidences

It is less a mass deportation regime as it is a mass kidnapping and indefinite detention regime
NEW figures show that 61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history.
According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.

Feeling ground down by the fascism, sure, but also by the bombardment of tendentious propaganda. Jeans for white titties. The "performative male" thing, a clear psyop by the laziest intern at the Heritage Foundation. In 7 months the only acceptable attire will be a t-shirt with a big handgun on it.

I don’t mean to be a “this is a distraction” guy, but it’s extremely transparent that Trump needed a way to push Epstein off the front page—and decided picking a fight with DC could accomplish it.
The authoritarian takeover has its own logic, but it’s also meant to change the topic.

Purges of FBI and IC, gutting of DOJ, prosecutions of political opponents, assaults on independent institutions, massive expansion of ICE with fascist-adjacent recruiting messages, firing of general officers—but nothing much to see here. Let’s not be alarmist. Also what about Hunter’s laptop.
