"Liminal Fascist Space" is a great term for the teetering-on-the-edge-at-all-times vibe; it's hard to get any sort of footing from one day to the next on where exactly we stand; an anxious time but not a hopeless time.
I think people really struggle w partially consolidated authoritarianism, either understating our problem or understating our power
It's like we're in a liminal fascist space. And not recognizing how far gone we are or thinking we're simply too far gone are both grave errors we can't afford to make

any argument that trump has fully consolidated authoritarian power has to contend with the fact that the government wants to deport kilmar abrego garcia to uganda but hasn't done so, because a judge told them not to

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

USAID matters. I've often disagreed with their strategy and choices, but their work saves more lives than any philanthropy can. It's a rounding error in the federal budget, and one of the best things we do as a country. To see it destroyed overnight by one unelected man is an unmitigated horror.

As a kid who grew up on a healthy diet of Star Trek, I've aspired to live in their world of diversity, egalitarianism, & science-focused progress. Where there's no hunger, no greed, & all the kids know how to read.
Instead we got a fascist coup leading us towards WWIII. How is this is real life?

Everything I have known and been taught about my own country my whole life is that we take pride in our participation in the defeat of nazism. No economic situation is worth sullying the memories of the men and women who fought for our freedom. Do not flirt with nazism, it will not set you free.

Re-reading Neuromancer, & there's a forward from Gibson sort-of apologizing for not predicting things like mobile phones & the Fall of the USSR... yet, it seems like the novel is becoming more & more prescient on a fresh reading.
