She literally promised decrementalism last time. I don't think she even knows what would be an incremental improvement from where we are, let alone actual progress.

KAMALA HARRIS: "It is never satisfying to say we've gotta be incremental - and I'm not advocating incrementalism - but until we win back majorities in the Senate and the House and take the White House, that may just be where we are."

Guess they're thinking they didn't have as much control as they thought they did and jumped to the Gestapo too soon, so they're going back to the Sturmabteilung.

Sorry, I hope that didn't sound dismissive and egotistically uneducated. I should have said that as a non-expert, this is what reading it appears to mean. I'd love if you were able and willing to provide legal precedent or context to why it could be used as mentioned in your post.

Pretty sure that actually is what's being said here.

A screenshot of text from Cornell Law School Legal Information Institute showing section b.1 of 10 USC 274, reading:
"(b)
(1)Subject to paragraph (2) and in accordance with other applicable law, the Secretary of Defense may, upon request from the head of a Federal law enforcement agency, make Department of Defense personnel available to operate equipment (including equipment made available under section 372 1 of this title) with respect to—
(A)a criminal violation of a provision of law specified in paragraph (4)(A);
(B)assistance that such agency is authorized to furnish to a State, local, or foreign government which is involved in the enforcement of similar laws;
(C)a foreign or domestic counter-terrorism operation; or
(D)a rendition of a suspected terrorist from a foreign country to the United States to stand trial."

Section b.1.C is highlighted.

My understanding is that there is no legal definition of "domestic terrorism," so wouldn't this law actually be saying they can provide military personnel for countering [legally designated foreign] terrorists acting on domestic territory?

I'm assuming this is in reference to b1C.

His relatives were killed by the German state in Auschwitz.

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · Aug 1

The central point is that when fascism came to America it wouldn't call itself that, nor would it be wearing a swastika. It would call itself "patriotic" and "100% American."

Can We Spot It?
(Question: How can we identify native American fascists at work? )
An American fascist seeking power would not proclaim that he is a fascist. Fascism always camouflages its plans and purposes. Hitler made demagogic appeals to all groups and swore: "Neither I nor anybody in the National Socialist Party advocates proceeding by anything but Constitutional methods." Any fascist attempt to gain power in America would not use the exact Hitler pattern. It would work under the guise of "super-patriotism" and "super-American-ism." Fascist leaders are neither stupid nor naive.
They know that they must hand out a line that "sells." Huey Long is said to have remarked that if fascism came to America, it would be on a program of "Ameri-canism."
Fascists in America may differ slightly from fascists in other countries, but there are a number of attitudes and practices that they have in common. Following are three. Every person who has one of them is not necessarily a fascist. But he is

THREAD. PBS news recently aired a dangerous news segment, full of misinformation. The incident is not only embarrassing for PBS and Democrats, but it portends dark days for the future of our society that editors published it. People at the network should be doing some deep soul searching.

They can't even stop scamming each other long enough to honor the person they claimed to love but can't quote in public. 🤣

NEW: An app launched by Cancel the Hate, a website for anonymously reporting those accused of speaking ill against Charlie Kirk, was leaking user data.

Cancel the Hate declined to respond to my inquires & removed the app from its website shortly after.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.

"Not men, fascists."

Fascism isn't an immutable characteristic of human being, it's a choice to remove yourself from humanity. Removing them permanently is self-defense, fascists have taught us this lesson over and over again.

If the far-right retaliates against liberals y'all are likely to push them to the actual left, where they will realize that the only way to deal with y'all is to hand out dirt naps faster than Grindr swipes at the RNC.

The video from 2023 where he tells Riley Gaines he wishes "men" would deal with trans people "like they did in the 50s and 60s" is good evidence of his stochastic violence as well.

So did Goebbels. 🤷‍♂️

And more importantly, so do many of the people against whom Charlie directed hate and incited domestic violent extremism (over 60% of which comes from white Christians in this country).

Good. It's about time we defended ourselves against the stochastic and physical terrorism of the far-right.
