Fascism is here. We are not โgetting closerโ or โin danger of.โ
This matters because it frames our discussion: We arenโt trying to prevent it, weโre trying to defeat it. Itโs not taking over our institutions, itโs taken them over.
Otherwise, weโre always behind, fighting a past weโve already lost.
American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high.
Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy โ but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance.
Nothing trickles down to workers.

Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. This act restricts the use of the U.S. military (Army and Air Force) for domestic law enforcement purposes, except when explicitly authorized by Congress or the Constitution.

Brett Meiselas: The tone is set from the top. And now, we have a president of the United States infecting the population.
There has never been a more divisive, more corrupt individual in the presidency...trickle-down economics may not work, but trickle-down assholery? Thatโs absolutely a thing.
Trump doesn't care about crime in D.C. โ which is at a 30-year low. He's creating another fake "emergency" in an attempt to show force. If he actually cared about keeping the city safe, he wouldn't have stoked insurrectionists to attack the Capitol on Jan 6. Hello?
