Dick Cheney was a cruel bureaucrat who made corrupt institutions more abusive. Officials in those institutions then surrendered what was left of their morals to accommodate his evil vision. In time, those institutions became even more corrupt. What politicians say today will be revealing of the rot.

Inventing Antifa
In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called βAkromiyaβ to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.
In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters.
Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

Trump says heβs designating Antifa as a terrorist organization | CNN Politics
President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday mor...
It's easy to scoff at Trump designating as a "terrorist organization" something that's not an *organization* at all.
I have different view.
When you declare an idea rather than an organization to be terrorism, you can declare *anyone* a terrorist.
And that is what he will do.
This is horrifying.

I'm telling you as a Trump biographer that the man has no intention of there being a free and fair election in 14 months.
Things are acceleratingβand accelerating for a reason.
By the time Fall 2026 begins, Trump needs America to have no expectation whatsoever of a meaningful midterm election.

Trump deploys National Guard to Memphis, calling it a 'replica' of his crackdown on Washington
President Donald Trump has announced the deployment of the National Guard to Memphis to combat crime, testing the limits of presidential power by using military force in cities.
Trump isnβt sending the National Guard into Memphis to fight crime. Heβs sending the guard into our cities to get Americans used to the idea of armed troops in their streets so fewer will resist a Trump dictatorship.

at the center of the efforts to destroy civil society in russia, hungary, georgia and elsewhere is the stigmatization, harassment, & criminalization of NGOs. that's what this is about, a full-on assault on democratic debate & freedoms.

A sign at an electric vehicle charging station in the parking lot of the Edgewater Whole Foods that says βDefend The Homeland, Join ICE Todayβ

For most Americans, fascism is a foreign idea.
Considering what MOST Americans did during slavery, Indian removal, Reconstruction, the lynching epidemic, Jim Crow era & JD Vance's futon phase...
How long before MOST people recognize that America is in its fascist era?
