i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

Goodness. Closing beautifully with Vito Marcantonio: “If it be radicalism to believe that our natural resources should be used for the benefit of all, and not for the purpose of enriching just a few, then I plead guilty to the charge.”
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

As the door to the papal conclave swung shut, Barack Obama slid out from the shadows, his feet blackishly tapping against the floor. Without a word he handed out his dossiers to the priests. There were shocked murmurs and palpable fear.
"You cannot be serious!" they protested.
Obama smiled.

community-led arrest preventions or de-arrests are incredibly effective. UK antifascists have done this to great success to protect refugees over the past 5 years. all about how quickly you can get people on the street to crowd the scene

Yes, this is true, but on a broader level, pretty much every Republican administration in modern memory had scandals -- fraud, lies, corruption -- that were insufficiently punished, if at all.
Lack of accountability for reactionaries has been a defining feature of US politics since its founding.

I will go to my grave believing that Obama deciding to give the entire Bush admin and everyone responsible for the 08 crash a big pass was a pivot point for this country and led more or less directly to the predicament we are in now and will be in for quite some time.
probably not the entire Neo-fascist moment, but large parts of it, could have been strangled in it's crib by taking the law seriously when it came to rich people and right wing politicians, rather than pearl-clutching about slippery slopes or the appearance of impropriety.

This was the motto of the civil society movement to resist Bolsonaro’s right wing authoritarianism in Brazil. I learned it from @annagalland.bsky.social and love it. Would love to see American designers do their own interpretations.
