Tell me with a straight face he's wrong here

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.

Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

The Governor Newsom Press Account is beyond good.

Proud to say i was one of them

They don't look like they signed up for this.

The idea of the internal enemy was intrinsically connected to a notion about the inferiority, impurity, and treasonous nature of those who were considered different from the majority. Fascists disputed the idea that citizenship defined the community. Wannabe Fascists, page 109

🗣️ Escoltant al Frederico Finchelstein que ens parla de l’ascens de les ultradretes globals en el marc del XI Col•loqui Walter Benjamin a Portbou, un luxe!

Editors Reindert Dhondt, Monica Jansen, Maria Urban state: "Building on this perspective, the volume explores Europe’s political & cultural legacy of fascism within the context of globalised mobilities, linking its totalitarian roots to Latin American genealogies of populism(s)."

New Book on fascism & populism! "This volume brings together leading international experts. The starting point is Argentine historian Federico Finchelstein’s assertion that the dynamics of transnational fascism and populist movements become clearer when viewed from the margins."

AOC tweet directed at Tom Homan that reads "Who's the illegal now"

It is increasingly difficult to take a critical independent stance and it is clear that major corporations and universities are ignoring the peril of what their collaboration means...this has happened before our own time and it made fascism possible.

Fascist regimes shut down the independent press and destroyed the rule of law and it is clear that Trumpism is wannabe fascism and it is trying to destroy what democracy is...

We need to see the censorship of
@jimmykimmel.com
in context.
Fascists proposed a totalitarian state in which plurality & civil society would be silenced & there would be few distinctions between the public & the private, or between the wishes of the leader, the state & its citizens.

Fascism is always on the extreme right. Example: Mussolini on Communists.

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

Aspirantes a Fascistas - Federico Finchelstein

Trump does not understand irony in the same way that his sense of sarcasm only means the demonization of others. This performance is just one more proof of his step by step downgrading of democratic institutions, including the presidency and the free press

Facts. Fascists, and wannabe fascists, denounce persecution while unleashing persecution. it. They imagine that all actions in defense of the law and democracy are part of a conspiracy against them. In short, they ascribe lies to their enemies while becoming masters of lies.

This is typical of populist & fascist leaders. High levels of corruption enabled by normalization from the many & cult of the few...

New York, which already spends a quarter-billion dollars per year to underwrite horse racing, is looking to give the sport millions more in tax breaks.
