… And one I see all the time from actual fascists: “you’re fascist for calling me a fascist.” Absolutely no understanding that these terms are not just name-calling. They’re descriptions of behavior and attitudes.

I am normally very suspicious of conspiracy theories, but given what we know about Musk’s behavior just before the election and that of DOGE hackers in January 2024, Flanagan‘s whole discussion here is worth revisiting. Extremely long thread on concerning irregularities in the 2024 election.

Fucking hell. I love the CIA World Fact Book.

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

NEW: Senator Ed Markey just introduced a critical bill that would ban ICE and CBP from buying or using facial recognition technology to go after our communities.

note how well the "FASCIST/TRUMP LOYALTY" message performs even among Non-Dem ICE Disapprovers.
