New from me. I want to talk about the $155 billion Republicans want to give Trump to turn the United States into a Concentration Camp Nation. And why we must never buy into the lie that Americans want this.
Trump wants a concentration camp nation
The MAGA Murder Budget includes $155 billion to turn the US into a police state. We must explain why that would be a nightmare for nearly all Americans.

It used to be clear that Democrats stood on the side of working people.
Then they started chasing the “center.”
Today’s Democratic establishment leaders have brought the party — and the country — down with them.

The Failures of “Centrism”
By moving to the so-called “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Watch.

The average American voter genuinely did not understand who Trump was after his first term, because the legacy Republicans staffing his administration largely managed to confine his reputation to "Average Republican plus mean tweets".
There was also an astonishing degree of mass amnesia about 2020.

Morgan Stanley is stepping in to support Tesla amid its declining share price, framing the drop in sales as a positive development. This move is part of a broader effort by billionaires to control the narrative in pursuit of tax breaks.

It’s the end stage of the class war that they accuse us of starting. Tumbrils. Start building tumbrils.

I heard my friend Dan here give a remarkable brief talk about this last month. Thankfully, he’s written it up at length to share.
In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…
