Donny, China didn’t steal your manufacturing jobs, your business leaders moved all their manufacturing overseas to take advantage of global inequality. So unless you’re planning on dropping environmental protections, getting rid of worker protections and establishing a large pool of slave labo—

Oh.

"This Week in Democracy – Week 18: White Supremacy in the White House and a ‘Pay-to-Play’ Dinner"

"Another Oval Office ambush. More unhinged rants spreading the tired lie that the 2020 election was stolen. And threats to investigate Beyoncé and Oprah."

Zeteo's project to document the ongoing, week-by-week growth of authoritarianism in the Trump second term.

Interview: "American coup: From Jim Crow to digital authoritarians"

Trump "has been able to cultivate the personality cult - the leader cult - in an authoritarian way.... by pronouncing himself as having been saved by the will of God.... as in Fascist Italy."

"The leader has to be the man of the people... but he also has to be the man above all other men... the authoritarian scam."

The fascist brown shirts of 2025 in Murica.
These guys aren't wearing a uniform of any kind except for what appears to be a U.S. Border Patrol flack jacket. One can assume a lack of being within weight standards and covering his face, this is not someone who is trained in law enforcement or the civil rights of people within the U.S. borders.

Apologies for the Instagram link. I couldn't find any other source for where this is.

This is the way.

It’s going to take a lot more of these high-profile arrests to fuel a movement against this fascist regime. Unfortunately, it seems most people in positions of privilege in the US are too comfortable with their lot to take any serious action.

Rallies and impassioned speeches will only get you so far.

Trump's fascist regime has made it clear: Free speech is absolute unless you say something Trump doesn't like and A) you're a naturalized citizen so they think they get to decide if you're American enough or B) or you're not the right skin color to be speaking your mind openly, or both, then it's tantamount to a crime.

"just routine" is the blood twin to "just following orders"

This. Is. Literal. Textbook. Authoritarianism.

Unfortunately, they’re still clinging to the fantasy that the current regime can or will be removed by democratic elections at some future date.

“Let's also remind anyone enabling unlawful actions that the statute of limitations on most federal crimes is five years -- and that the next Democratic president and Attorney General are not likely to be as forgiving as the last ones.”

Nothing about the actions of the current administration suggest that this will be even remotely true.

I’ve commented on this before, but I’m still aghast at the ‘uniforms’ & deportment of the Gestapo ICE agents. Every single one of them is wearing different kit that looks like they bought it online from Alibaba or Temu. They don’t look like real law enforcement, they look like cosplayers!

It’s amazing to me that in country that masturbates over its ‘Second Amendment’ rights and has more guns than actual people, that someone hasn’t challenged these thugs or ‘stood their ground’.
