We are witnessing the first stages of a Trump police state | Robert Reich The national guard’s deployment in Los Angeles sets the US on a familiar authoritarian pathway. History shows the results

“We are witnessing the first stages of a Trump police state”

Fuck ICE.

Huge demonstrations in Los Angeles against ICE raids.

People in Los Angeles rising up against ICE.

In the coming hours and days, people are going to try and tell you not to believe what you were seeing with your own eyes and hearing with your own ears. Donald Trump and Elon Musk usher in the age of American fascism. Musk is a Nazi and always has been. Democracy is being destroyed by nazis.

Then they should have.

abolishing an outdated and unnecessary imperialist power structure isn’t that complex.

💥BREAKING IN SYRIA💥Syrian rebels report dictator Bashar al-Assad has fled Damascus, and claim to have captured the capital.

A tyrant has fallen, and Syrians are witnessing the dramatic collapse of the authoritarian regime in Damascus.

This is a staggering end to the 50-year tyrannical rule…

#endthemonarchy

Great news

huge influx of fake accounts recently

on the bright side though…

BREAKING: Ireland Loses General Election

Sad to see Finna Fáil win the most seats in Ireland. The status quo maintained and extremely low voter turnout.

Brexit makes no sense in a world dominated by Trump. Britain’s place is back in the EU | Jonathan Freedland From defence to trade, the incoming US president is upending the old order – and standing apart from our neighbours leaves us dangerously exposed, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre.... “In the age of #Trump, when the #US is no longer the predictable guarantor it once was, #Britain cannot thrive alone and in the cold. It’s not ideology or idealism, but hard-headed, practical common sense to say our place is in #Europe – and to say so now.”

Happy Colonialism Day from my family to yours🫶

The road to the fascist police state is paved with actions like this.

Every week I share good news, not so good news, and something we can do about climate change. This week the topic was COP29, and I had to dig pretty deep.

Democrats had a great message on Project 2025. It was so deeply unpopular that Trump had to deny any connection.

Now that Trump has said he plans to hire key figures from Project 2025 for his administration, Democrats need to sound the alarm. It will still be unpopular.

Watching Say Nothing and reading Notes on Resistance by Noam Chomsky at the same time is a bad recipe. Somebody stop me before I buy the Anarchist Cookbook.*

*Gerry Adams has always denied being a member of the IRA or participating in any IRA-related violence.

if you are interested in the reasons for the slow death of democratic capitalism, here are two really good books that were on point 4 years ago and are still fantastic:

wwnorton.com/books/978163... by @jacobhacker.bsky.social

and global.oup.com/academic/pro... by @jonathanhopkin.bsky.social

Important read for journalists who have written or are tempted to write “Use of ATACMS has put us on brink of WW3” articles.

Democrats haven’t abandoned the working class. There hasn’t been even a modicum of proletariat support since Carter and even that was flimsy. Trump promised to protect workers from the “threat” of immigration and China and we bolstered his case by ignoring the working class and their struggles.

Noam Chomsky never misses. From a 2019 interview at the University of Arizona.

If there’s one thing this election did for me it was to help radicalize me🙃

Environmental groups alarmed as Doug Burgum picked for US interior secretary Several groups say North Dakota governor will sacrifice public lands on the ‘altar of the fossil fuel industry’s profits’

Good time for a reminder that Doug Burgum is the same guy who set up the meeting at Mar-a-Lago where Trump reportedly promised environmental regulation cuts for $1 billion in campaign contributions from Big Oil execs.

The Cost-of-Living Crisis Explains Everything The economy under Biden looked good but felt bad.

"The issue is not that deliverism failed. It is that Democrats convinced themselves that they had delivered, without listening to the voters telling them they had not." From Annie Lowrey.
