Exactly seven months into Trump's second term, we have reached 1000 authoritarian actions. Here I lay out the enormity of what has happened.

We are going to loose our freedom. Let fascism reign
Trump mentions NYC, Baltimore, and Oakland, says "they're so far gone," and adds, "this will go further. We'll starting very strongly with DC."

We’ve reached the “building concentration camps and funding secret police to arrest enemies of the regime” phase of America fascism.
It would be super useful if the nominal opposition party would say that to the American people!

Fascism is now in the algorithms, the neural pathways, the social interactions. How did we fail to see all this? “We wanted to see Trump in terms of his absences, so that our way of seeing the world would go unchallenged,” Timothy Snyder writes.
What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?
Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.

"Hi Senator I am a voter in [your home zip code] and I saw what Sen. Booker did for others and I want that for me. Good day". A phone call like this is worth 10,000 quote posts.
Call your senators and tell them you saw it and like it, too. Maybe someone else will do this again.
To put in another way: this is Cory Booker turning a big dial that says "opposition" on it, and he's looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right. make sure he knows we're happier the more he turns it up.

Heads must roll. This is one of the dumbest security breaches in history, and it suggests a larger pattern of potentially criminal behavior that puts Americans at risk.
In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
