I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

I imagine they want to get everyone used to paying for them, and just move everyone to paid, and then in a few years start doing ads, and it's the same as now only everyone is paying a subscription fee too.

a man talking to another man with the words so much going wrong so much to say and all of it happening so quickly below him Alt: Karis Nemik telling Cassian Andor, "So much going wrong, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly" on the TV show Andor.

"The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it, and that is the real trick of the imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident."

Gen Z and Millennials Prefer Socialism To Capitalism, New Poll Says “Young progressive voters are stepping into their full economic and political power."

A new poll from Data for Progress found that “voters of all parties” are open to leftist policies, and that a majority of Democratic voters polled preferred democratic socialism to capitalism “when written definitions of each are read aloud to them.”

A Twitter post from Trump Admin operative Laura Loomer, reading: "It’s time to defund American universities. You don’t need to go to college. Charlie Kirk didn’t go to college. @HarmeetKDhillon"

the Nazis attacked higher education as an enemy of the state, first Jewish and "leftist" professors were banned and then the curriculum restructured to only say what the Party wanted. German education was once envy of the world and it was destroyed

In 5 years, college attendance in Germany fell 53%

I spoke with the NYT Magazine a while ago but have now heard that an editor said they can't quote me because I'm "too liberal" to be a trusted source.

You know what's always the first example conservatives use to claim I'm "too liberal"?

My work in the 1619 Project, organized by the NYT Magazine.

Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism. The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt.

The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Department of Homeland Security boasted of "the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement."

Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced. Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans. Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society. The recent visa issue, which could have been resolved diplomatically with advance notice from an ally, is difficult to explain beyond political maneuvering. The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

The Nazi extermination programs didn’t begin with Jews. It began in September 1939 with the involuntary euthanasia of people with disabilities and the mentally ill under the Aktion T4 program. That’s how they developed their techniques of mass extermination.

Remember that this was happening just as the right (and the useful idiots of the non-right) was swollen with performative celebrations of how Charlie Kirk was the hero of free speech

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for.

But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

We are in the middle of a campaign in this state to turn Charlotte into Chicago in the general public’s mind. For the obvious reasons. I would just like to add that this Republican controlled general assembly still has no budget & likely won’t this year.

After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

A screenshot of a tweet from the Daily Caller, which has been reposted by Rep. Nancy Mace. The tweet reads: "'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH': Rep. Nancy Mace comments on reports of Charlie Kirk's killer allegedly being 'pro-tranny'". The tweet includes a video thumbnail showing Rep. Nancy Mace outdoors wearing sunglasses and speaking to reporters. The timestamp is 11:29 AM, September 11, 2025.

A screenshot of a tweet from Rep. Nancy Mace (@RepNancyMace). The tweet, posted at 10:36 AM on September 12, 2025, reads: "We know Charlie Kirk would want us to pray for such an evil, and lost individual like Tyler Robinson to find Jesus Christ. We will try to do the same."

Nancy Mace acting on disinformation that the shooter was trans: goes off on tirade against "trannies"

Nancy Mace when the actual shooter is a Christian white man: "he's just a poor lost boy, let us pray for him."

The policing of "tone" and "civility" and "incitement" is always completely one-sided.

Voter suppression is necessary for minority rule.

Yeah, @jaywillis.net nails it: "One possible reason the conservative justices usually don’t explain their pro-Trump shadow docket opinions: Their pro-Trump shadow docket opinions might read like this."

Statement from Kelley Robinson, President of the Human Rights Campaign: "The news out of Alabama is meant to scare us into silence, but we refuse. We stand with all LGBTQ+ Alabamans, trans youth, Lambda Legal, and every attorney who fights for our collective civil rights. We fight with you. And together, we will win." "But what we are seeing in Alabama is not new-a selective, targeted weaponization of judicial power meant to intimidate those demanding equality. We saw it during Jim Crow, and now, it's being used to go after a civil rights lawyer fighting to protect the rights and lives of transgender Alabamans. The aim is clear: by threatening jail time for standard legal practices, the U.S. Attorney's office is trying to stop civil rights lawyers from fighting for justice all together. We refuse to let them get away with it."

UPDATE: Of the indictment unsealed Monday, @hrc.org President Kelley Robinson says that "what we are seeing in Alabama is not new .... We saw it during Jim Crow, and now, it's being used to go after a civil rights lawyer fighting to protect the rights and lives of transgender Alabamans."

No one would be confused about what is happening here if they saw it in another country.
