This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Seven of America's biggest healthcare corporations got $34 BILLION in tax breaks from the last Trump tax scam.
Their CEOs saved MILLIONS on their personal taxes.
So why does it make any sense that 20 million people are about to see their premiums rise?
We're being scammed.

Tax the Mellon like it's 1979!
Billionaire Tim Mellon sent $130M of his $14.1B to fund US military salaries during the Govt shutdown
1. This covers 1/3 of military payroll for 1 day
2. DOD has a $1T budget. $130M is .013% of that
3. Mellon can casually part with $130M—he can be taxed at a 91% marginal tax like during 1940-1980

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
