There's a lot of speculation about what Trump can & can't do against the left with his new executive orders. To cut thru it, I spoke with FBI counterterrorism veteran turned whistleblower Terry Albury about how he & his old colleagues use the powers they have – and what the average citizen should do

I often wonder what people imagine fighting fascism is like. I think they think it’s like resistance gun fights against oppressors in the streets or something. It’s actually doing things every day that push against oppression. It’s looking at what a regime tells you to do and saying, “No”
This is why we say that popping on a mask when you go to the grocery store is a chance to resist creeping fascism. It’s a simple way to refuse this training to abandon others.
Despite its falsity, RFK Jr's message resonates with many Americans. Because it gives them a sense of protection against the risks they face and a sense of permission to not feel bad for others who do experience harm.
