  • Classic authoritarian tactics:

    Target a marginalized group with an issue that you’ve framed as ridiculous or politically suicidal to disagree with, get public opinion riled up by manipulating their grievances through exploiting their internal prejudices, and make everything an extension of preserving national security. Once you’ve manipulated enough people into giving you extralegal power, simply expand the circle of ‘national security threats’.

    In just a few months we’ve watched Trump:

    steal the power of the purse and the power to enact tariffs from Congress,

    create a precedent for the unconstitutional arrest, detainment, and removal of legal residents and dissenting citizens,

    iterate his intentions to restart American expansionism into Canada and Greenland,

    Successfully twist the arm of media companies, law firms, and universities into doing his bidding,

    And his other executive order directs Dept. Of Homeland Security, DoJ, and DoD to create a plan for implementation of military and national security assets to “prevent crime and protect public safety”.

    Welcome to the ‘find out’ stage.











  • The same DNC that stole the 2016 primary nomination from the only candidate to accurately voice the concerns of their constituents?

    The same DNC that happily takes money from AIPAC to turn their heads to Palestinian genocide, and then refused to have a primary in 2024?

    The same DNC that bailed out the corporate finance industry in 2008 and told everyone who foreclosed on their homes to suck a lemon?

    The same DNC that just capitulated to Trump and continues to appear fascism because they’re too scared to lose their “good billionaire” donors?

    The sooner we see the Democrats for the fraud and complacency they embody the faster we can build a REAL progressive party
