(Just to be sure, I know + agree that Trump + co are fascists. We just have to be careful with how we define the word).
Basing our arguments in fact will get us much further---we can't just SAY that they're fascist, we have to demonstrate WHY.
As always, think critically + cross-check your sources.
Vive la résistance! #uspolitics
To fight the current gov, we need know how to correctly define it as a fascist regime, rather than throwing the word around without recognizing its weight.
Truth trumps misinformation (which includes the culture war-era tactic of thoughtless, means-to-an-end arguing we're used to). #uspolitics
Other definitions:
-> "A philosophy or system with some combination of fascist values and governing structures."
-> "A tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control."
#uspolitics
-> And is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation,
-> As well as by forcible suppression of opposition."
#uspolitics
As defined by Merriam-Webster, Fascism is "A populist political philosophy, movement, or regime...
-> It exalts nation and often race above the individual,
-> Is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader

A federal court has declared that warrantless searches of US person’s communications collected for national security purposes is unconstitutional. Now it’s our job to make sure Congress knows that when they renew this law in a little over a year.
VICTORY! Federal Court (Finally) Rules Backdoor Searches of 702 Data Unconstitutional

Donald Trump wants to deport millions.

He has no plans to lower the cost of groceries.

He is gearing up to implement a dangerous agenda and distract you by extending the TikTok ban. Don’t fall for it.

Annnnd there it is. There’s the scam.

Just FYI, we won’t use TikTok if Trump, Musk, Bezos, or Zuck have anything to do with its ownership.

Hope that helps 👍
Yes the breakdown of cultural walls between the Chinese and American peoples is great! Just please think critically when comparing govs: they do not have free speech or protest rights. We should work to establish secure + open lines to communicate---find ways around the Great Firewall. #TikTokBan

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.
When it comes to organizing in the US in the coming years, I think following the C.R. Movement's model would be most effective: specific organizations for education and awareness, legal/financial support, and for efficiently organizing nonviolent demonstrations. We need to get moving asap.
And she's been the worlds highest paid actress at some points. Proof award shows are, in the end, wholly subjective.

Kathryn Hahn did a phenomenal job in Agatha All Along.

We’re so proud of her for changing the game. The fact that she got nominated for a Marvel project at the Golden Globes is a testament to her performance.

Agatha Harkness, you will always be famous. 💜

Thank you, Philomena Cunk, for using the phrase the “Christian Cinematic Universe.”
Rest in peace, Jeff Baena. Remember to give Aubrey and the couple's families privacy and respect: don't leave messages, stalk their accounts, or go up to them in public. And don't speculate. Let them grieve. This is one of the worst things anyone can go through. #jeffbaena #aubreyplaza
