Maybe people will figure out how to read this wrong or rub it into my face. Truth is, I don't care.
There was a time where this view was sane and "normal". You didn't even have to write it down because everybody knew it was considered the norm. But where are we now, having to explain all of this again?
Why isn't the world going insane at Republican politicians visiting concentration camps and posing in front of people who will likely be dead within the decade.
This wasn't even normal in 1942. It's not even normal in North Korea - Fascist regimes usually keep their death camps a secret.

Disclosure: I was a member of the FBI's Infragard program for professional reasons until just a few seconds ago when I terminated my membership. The reason I gave was that the FBI is now the tool of a fascist coup, and I can no longer be a part of Infragard because of this.
I'm sure this put me on a list, but fuck-em.
If you're a member of the FBI's Infragard parternship, I urge you to terminate your membership.

RFK Jr’s push to create a registry of all people with autism should be setting off alarm bells.
We’ve been here before.
I talk a lot about the Nazi’s Aktion T4 program, because many people forget that they tested the gas chambers on disabled people. We were targeted first because we were seen as expendable. “Useless eaters”. People no one would miss.
Did you know they also created a registry of children born who might have mental or physical disabilities? Midwives were paid to report them to the government, and lists were made.
Creating a registry of autistics won’t “solve autism”. But it could set the stage for something far more sinister.
We must remain vigilant and fight back.
Disabled people are not expendable. Autistic people are not dangerous. Health supremacy is.

all life is precious
I often think about language, framing, and "focus on what you want to see more of" in various contexts. When I try to find words to express the core of what antifascism means to me, it is just this:
all life is precious
Or: holding that all life is precious and acting accordingly.
Afaict this seems to be the core value that all authoritarians, radical right demagogues and movements deny.
Hey, would you believe me if I told you that the President signed an executive order on February 18th that gives Trump, a guy who tried to make election officials declare him the winner of an election he lost (and launched a coup attempt when that didn't work) and has been talking about shutting down media organizations that criticize him, essentially complete control over the previously independent Federal Election Commission and Federal Communications Commission? I mean probably not right, since for-profit media has barely covered the issue even though it has a direct impact on their industry. Unfortunately, it's true:
Independent Agencies Oversee Elections and Media. Trump’s Seizing Their Reins.
"The order states that, “The heads of independent regulatory agencies shall establish a position of White House Liaison in their respective agencies,” and goes on to say: “Independent regulatory agency chairmen shall submit agency strategic plans … to the Director of OMB for clearance prior to finalization.” In other words, independent agencies will no longer be independent but will instead be ruled over by political commissars, their every action now scrutinized to make sure they are ideologically sympatico to the aims of the MAGA movement.
Two of the agencies subject to this new system are the Federal Election Commission (FEC) — a historically bipartisan, six-member organization that helps to set ground rules for how elections are run and financed — and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which, among other things, controls access to the country’s airwaves.
Trump has been angling for control of both of these agencies since the start of his administration."
Is any of this legal? Who the hell knows; but are you willing to bet a 6-3 fascist-high Supreme Court that has already endorsed the idea that Trump is above the law and the existence of an imperial presidency, are likely to stop him? I'm certainly not. Furthermore, to mount any sort of mass resistance to this type of "classic" fascist power grab ultimately targeting elections and media criticism of the regime, you'd probably have to know it's happening and understand why this executive order might be the single most dangerous thing Trump has signed since he took office again; and clearly for-profit media and a political class doing more collaborating with fascism than resisting it, don't consider informing you about this very relevant right now.
Folks, I dunno about you but I'm getting tired of waiting around for Trump to find his Reichstag Fire and finish crafting a multi-executive order version of the German Enabling Act while Very Serious PeopleTM keep pretending we don't know if Trump is going to go full Hitler and mustn't presume he means to do everything he openly says he's doing. We all heard this guy on tape pressuring election officials and even GOP Governors to "find" him thousands of votes and effectively rig the 2020 election for him. We're all watching as his Project 2025 nazi minion Brendan Carr uses his newfound powers as head of the FCC to threaten the broadcast licenses of media orgs that criticize him, try to shut down PBS and NPR, and even investigate media companies that the regime claims "promote diversity" like that's some kind of crime. So when Trump, the imperial president, passes an executive order that gives him complete effective control of the agencies that regulate American elections and what passes for the "free press" in the United States, you'd have to some kind of credulous rube to believe he's doing so for any other purpose besides rigging elections for fascists and eliminating whatever portions of the US media there are that won't carry water for the fascist administration and the odious ideology animating it. There's not a lotta wiggle room here; either you're a complete fucking muppet, or you're willing to quietly bootlick for a fascist President while he rips pages directly from Hitler's playbook to create his very own American Pork Reich.
I guess the only question left then, is which of those two possibilities best describes an American political and media class supposedly opposed to Trump's fascist regime, that doesn't want to talk about it before it's too late to stop him?

Kristi Noem had her bag, purse, 3K in cash (who walks around with 3K in cash?) and more stolen in a DC restaurant.
The news outlets covering it are claiming the thief was wearing a medical mask.
The fascists will 100% use this as an excuse to enact more mask bans.
We saw it in NYC after Luigi Mangione’s arrest. It reignited the mayor’s desire to ban masks.
If you stopped masking, we need you to start again. Normalize them as a public health tool.
The more people masking, the harder they will be to ban.
Mask bans are discriminatory, ableist ugly laws that harm the most vulnerable among us.
There’s also no evidence they stop or deter crime.

Here's a look at what linguistic data can tell us about the origins of fascist ideology. Surprisingly, the evidence suggests that fascist thought was most prominent not in the 1930s, but in the 16th and 17th century.

RFK Jr saying the quiet part out loud…
In an article about autism, he talks about how autistic people will never pay taxes, hold a job, go on a date etc. “worthless”. Useless eaters.
This is straight up eugenics.
It’s also wrong. Many people with autism or disabilities can do ALL these things, but our worth should not be predicated on that.
Everyone has intrinsic value regardless of economic ability or contribution.

I have further expanded the https://www.maga-collaborators.net website.
It now tracks #colleges and #universities in addition to #law firms and other #corporations that are #collaborating, #capitulating, or #resisting the #Trump #regime.
Please share this link to help spread the word! I'll be adding to and upgrading this website regularly moving forward.
And please send tips to help fill in the gaps in the data to the email address listed on the website.

Mask bans are ableist, discriminatory ugly laws.
Disabled advocates have been warning for years that if people didn’t help normalize masking, bans would follow
Please call legislators in New York and tell them No mask bans!
Medical exemptions aren’t enough, everyone needs the legal right to mask
The police are not doctors. They can’t determine who’s “sick enough” to wear a mask.
Many people with invisible illnesses struggle to get healthcare workers to take us seriously. We don’t want to be questioned by police.
Everyone should be allowed to mask up to prevent covid.

#America Is Watching the Rise of a #DualState
For most people, the #courts will continue to operate as usual—until they don’t.
On Sept 20, 1938, a man who had witnessed the rise of #fascism packed his suitcases & fled his home in Berlin. He arranged to have smuggled separately a manuscript that he had drafted in secret over the previous 2 yrs. This book was a remarkable one. It clarified what was unfolding in Berlin…, the catalyst for its author’s flight.
🚨 Let’s Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: “Let’s Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTF”
Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find @letsencrypt €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.
If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?
(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)

After careful consideration, I have come to the personal conclusion that
- Elon Musk is a fascist
- Donald Trump is a fascist
- Viktor Orbán is a fascist
- Björn Höcke is a fascist
- Alice Weidel is a fascist
- Herbert Kickl is a fascist
- ...
- And that I am resolutely antifascist.
