Fascism places emotion over reason. Words become just tools to achieve the vision of the Leader. In our post-truth world, this takes the special form of the inversion of meaning: fascists call other people "fascists" and antisemites call other people "antisemites"

He blinked.
2 days ago Donald demanded our nationhood as the price of peace.
Then we hit with $125bil in counter tariffs and pulled American products off the shelf.
So now he settles for a fentanyl czar.
Canada shows the world how to stand up.
But this is ain't over.
Don't drop your guard.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...
Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government
Imagining how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

nothing of value can be obtained by playing the “Is Trump serious about…” game.
he doesn’t know, so there’s no correct answer. his team floods the zone with garbage and then leans into what gets traction.
their actual goal, which you can deny them, is to monopolize your attention 24/7.

Thoughts on day one of the Trump administration.
This is a man who loves dictators and hates his allies. Canada needs to stay focused.
Things are going to get ugly with Donald Trump and Canadians need to work together to defend democracy and sovereignty.

This is precisely what the documentary @israelismfilm.com warned about: American Israel apologists embracing actual Nazis while smearing progressives as anti-semites
I don't throw around the word "Kapo" lightly. But unless the head of the ADL and everyone who endorsed this apology for Elon's fascist gesture resigns, the name fits and should be used.

"He’s starting his presidency by outlawing the humanity of some, which is outlawing the humanity of all." Also, this should concern everyone because all oppression is connected 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🕊️🪬
After tomorrow there’s no excuse for any cis person to tsk tsk & pretend this is someone else’s fight. He’s starting his presidency by outlawing the humanity of some, which is outlawing the humanity of all.
🚨 Trump will instruct the federal government tomorrow via an executive order to not recognize that transgender people exist and exclusively recognize people as their sex assigned at birth.

"Neither sudden nor surprising": Ed Zitron compellingly lays out the Meta-MAGA situation
Newsletter: Mark Zuckerberg's MAGA pivot is really just the continuation of years of rotting out the core products of Instagram and Facebook - and begins an era of unrestrained, unrepentant growth where tech will proudly make their products even worse.

Some people have objected to the term "losers" but in this case it's a valid & empowering analysis (like how Tim Walz was using "weird" until those useless consultants stopped him)
