Find the post or the article I've written that denies we are on a path to authoritarianism.

I'll just keep saying, for the stubborn and/or dense among you: We are not living under fascism in 2025. We are heading for an authoritarian takeover and I have been shouting it from the rafters every day.
@radiofreetom.bsky.social so let me see you get into a street fight with @timothysnyder.bsky.social over his alarmist post.
Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic.

The secret police in the former USSR and Germany did not hide their identities. (Sometimes the Gestapo even wore uniforms.) Their operations and their behavior - and what happened in their ministries - was secret.
It's their individual identities that are secret, not their conduct
but of course they did, and of course they will

This is how it works: We protect each other, period. These are our neighbors, our friends, our family. We do the things we have to do to ensure that as many of us can make it to tomorrow as possible. Not everyone does. I need you to understand that we tried.

JUST IN: 9th Circuit temporarily reinstates Judge Immergut's 1st TRO blocking solely Trump's Oregon National Guard deployment. Both TROs now in effect (CA/TX too). 9th to decide on en banc by Tuesday. Move undercuts DOJ's bid to lift 2nd TRO but court says no msg on merits.
don't know who cillizza even is, and I feel like I'm not missing anything by not knowing him
Cillizza's attempt at savvy political commentary in the screenshot below is the rare X post where even the top comments from paying users amount to "what an uninformed and racist thing to say; what is wrong with you?"
Chris Cillizza is one of the dumbest, most dishonest people on the planet

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

An important read.

More than ever, it is important to be digitally & scientifically literate. Science outlets did some "pre-bunking" before Trump's announcement of Tylenol as a cause of autism. Every action we take to prevent misinformation matters.

In Myanmar, cyber-slavery scam centers were using Starlink to stay online, forcing victims into labor near the Thai border.

They’ve now shut down 2,500 terminals, but they’ve known about this for months and only just decided to act.

Honestly, what were they even waiting for?
