Throughout history, each iteration of fascism came with its own particularities. Political theorist R. Griffin posits that the one thing they have in common is palingenetic ultranationalism. (Picture : Mussolini giving a speech) Palingenetic ("born again in ancient greek) ultranationalism is a far right narrative that frames the nation as decadent, as having lost its way, as being betrayed by dark elites. To save it, it needs to be destroyed, then reborn. (Picture: Trump giving a speech in front of a MAGA flag) with that goal in mind, an authoritarian power with divisive rhetoric channelsbthe population's anger towards a scapegoat demonized outgroup: migrants, religion, sexual and gender minorities... (picture : three masked ICE agents are handling someone.) Fascism is like a chameleon : it constantly adapts to eras and cultures. It is vital to learn to identify it and call it out.

"What is fascism?"

The history of Nazis holding rallies in Let-wing areas of Weimar Germany, instigating street fights, and then telling the press that only they could save Germany from the "violent communists" seems like an important thing for people to be studying right now."

Yup

A movie poster from the film “Cocaine Bear” having been altered to say “Tylenol Bear” which implies the bear has had an abnormal dosage of Tylenol; implying the bear “might” be autistic based on almost zero fucking evidence my God this country is stupid

This bear doesn’t have a headache

📍Friday Call to Action & Weekly Protest Map Welcome dissenters!

Check out this amazing round up of upcoming protests and actions this week - both national and state specific.

it reads like a screenplay intern's first draft

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.

Speaks for itself.

Trump thought he'd be watching news coverage of his stupid North Korean style military parade. He thought American would cheer him and his fascism.

Instead tonight he's watching every city in America, every town, rise up against him.

Happy Birthday, Asshole.

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

Police on horseback, accompanied by officers in riot gear, watch a large crowd of people. One says, “The protesters seem to be doing some sort of joyful synchronized dance. Is it time to call in the Marines?”

The Trump regime is harming innocent Americans, targeting reporters and peaceful protesters. Video after video keeps surfacing, widely shared on TikTok and Reddit. These aren’t threats, they’re people walking home, holding signs, clearly marked as press. And still, they’re being targeted.

Let this sink in.

Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence.

During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

ICE isn’t rounding up migrants at Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ meatpacking plants. They're provoking riots in Los Angeles.

I wonder, is this provocation laying the groundwork for a pretext to declare martial law?

And then I remember all those many tanks shipped to DC, the home of so many protests.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.

Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

A tweet from NBC news: Measles vaccination among babies skyrocketed in Texas as the outbreak grew, new research shows. Reply by Alex Griswold: Because in practice anti-vaxx is a luxury belief based on the assumption that your neighbors' vaccines do in fact work

I've never seen it so well put before.

"People will throw cheese at you."

Indiana, Ohio, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Iowa. Wow, we see you 💚! Huge thanks to local law enforcement for helping keep everyone safe. With their support, four MAGA individuals have already been arrested for assault.

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handle—so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?

Maybe it's just me, but is it possible that the Republican message of "yes you will all be much poorer, but perhaps your grandchildren will get to work in a shoe factory" isn't quite as appealing as they think it is?

HAPPY #HANDS-DAY, everyone! ✊

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

DOGE staffer ‘Big Balls’ helped cybercrime group.

One of the most prominent members of Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) team once supported a cybercrime group that boasted about trafficking stolen data and stalking an FBI agent.

It all makes sense once you realize a recession is actually a good thing for the 1%.
