In the coming hours and days, people are going to try and tell you not to believe what you were seeing with your own eyes and hearing with your own ears. Donald Trump and Elon Musk usher in the age of American fascism. Musk is a Nazi and always has been. Democracy is being destroyed by nazis.

Ireland fully rejected the far-right candidates running in the election last week.
But just as they have imported the anti-LGBTQ and anti-immigrant rhetoric from the US in recent years, they are now pushing baseless election fraud conspiracies

Brexit makes no sense in a world dominated by Trump. Britain’s place is back in the EU | Jonathan Freedland
From defence to trade, the incoming US president is upending the old order – and standing apart from our neighbours leaves us dangerously exposed, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Democrats had a great message on Project 2025. It was so deeply unpopular that Trump had to deny any connection.
Now that Trump has said he plans to hire key figures from Project 2025 for his administration, Democrats need to sound the alarm. It will still be unpopular.

Watching Say Nothing and reading Notes on Resistance by Noam Chomsky at the same time is a bad recipe. Somebody stop me before I buy the Anarchist Cookbook.*

Hi all, sent this post out earlier (paywall now removed) about nuclear doctrine. They tell us littlr about when nuclear weapons would be used, but lots about how a state wants to intimidate other states into doing what they want. Rather timely w Putin’s threats. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Democrats haven’t abandoned the working class. There hasn’t been even a modicum of proletariat support since Carter and even that was flimsy. Trump promised to protect workers from the “threat” of immigration and China and we bolstered his case by ignoring the working class and their struggles.
