“When fascism wins it does so by co-opting the business elite. Fascism allies with the business elite against the cultural and intellectual elite.
You appeal to the billionaire class by saying, ‘We’re gonna cut your taxes. We’re gonna make sure regulations don’t apply to you. We’re gonna take care of the labor movement so you don’t need to worry about that.’ That’s why big business got behind the Nazis.”

I think a lot of people have forgotten how the press went after #Biden early in his presidency for not ‘bridging the partisan divide’ and ‘healing the nation.’ Now they’re like, ‘look at that guy fuck everything up how exciting!’
For those who feel lost and struggling with what to do and lost in the #doomscroll and feel ill-equipped to deal with the #fascism we find ourselves surrounded by.
I wrote this post for you on how to take your first steps toward #action and #resistance.

Corporations will not stand up to fascism. They are engines to create profit for shareholders so protecting profit is their only guiding principle. They will bend to the felon-in-chief rather than face costly repercussions from a petty tyrant who wields unconstitutional power without any oversight.
REVEALED by Correspondent @stevanzetti: We identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as #ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation. https://www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecutor-dallas-white-supremacist-x-account/

Earlier today, Anglican Priest Calvin Robinson ended a speech at a pro life summit in DC by giving the exact same Nazi salute that Elon Musk did.
The crowd laughed & cheered.
The Anglican Church revoked his license.
This is how you handle Nazis. You condemn them. You don’t pander to them.
Considering how many organizations excused Musk’s salute as an “awkward gesture”, I’m incredibly grateful to see the church taking a strong stand against hate

"First They Came" by Pastor Martin Niemöller (1946)
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
No Chuck, I'm worried about the fact that a deranged, drugged-up, unelected fascist billionaire has taken control of the federal government's payment systems and sensitive data and you're here talking about tomato prices.
We need more of this. People need to stop complying and start fighting.

"Thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Hannah Arendt warned us that the point of this deluge is not to persuade, but to overwhelm and paralyze our capacity to act. More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media in response to these ridiculous claims actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action.
The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of debilitating fear and anger, endlessly reacting to our oppressors instead of organizing against them."

#America Is Watching the Rise of a #DualState
For most people, the #courts will continue to operate as usual—until they don’t.
On Sept 20, 1938, a man who had witnessed the rise of #fascism packed his suitcases & fled his home in Berlin. He arranged to have smuggled separately a manuscript that he had drafted in secret over the previous 2 yrs. This book was a remarkable one. It clarified what was unfolding in Berlin…, the catalyst for its author’s flight.
Padilla: "WE. WILL. HOLD. THIS. ADMINISTRATION. ACCOUNTABLE."
His pauses, not mine.
They better, because we are in deep shit, people. #fascism
MORE:
"I encourage everybody to please peacefully protest."
I’m not a psychologist.
But Trump’s malignant narcissism seems plain.
I’m not a lawyer.
But the collapse of checks and balances and the resultant constitutional crisis seems plain.
I’m not an economist.
But the hollowing out of the public sector for the benefit of corporations and billionaires seems plain.
I am an historian.
And the convergence of these forces has never ended well.
Midnight in America.

How does this protect your immigrant neighbors who are being raided by ICE? Does this rally help a transgender person maintain access to their gender-affirming medications?
Partly inspired by today's 50501 protests, I wrote some thoughts about how and where I think we should be using our energy in 2025: https://www.patreon.com/posts/stop-marching-on-121443258

I assume they'll replace it with Brawndo, which has 'lectrolytes.

“In Canada, a slew of apps has emerged with names such as “buy beaver”, “maple scan” and “is this Canadian” to allow shoppers to scan QR barcodes and reject US produce from alcohol to pizza toppings.”
