“they’re acting like this is part of some legal framework, when it’s not. It’s an extra legal attack. And so when you do not call it out as an extra legal attack, you are actively contributing to destruction of the rule of law.” - Prof. Jason Stanley

Vanity Fair · The Fascism Expert at Yale Who’s Fleeing AmericaBy Keziah Weir

Analysis: "Restoring Lies and Insanity to American History"

"The assault on historical memory by the Trump administration is designed to obliterate our shared understanding of reality and whitewash the crimes of the past to whitewash the crimes of the present."

The Chris Hedges Report · Restoring Lies and Insanity to American HistoryBy Chris Hedges

The top image eventually leads to the bottom image unless decent people put a stop to it. If you think that #ICE or any of their ilk in other countries are the 'good guys' then you're one of the bad guys; there are thousands of history books and millions of marked and unmarked graves that offer proof. Even #Israel now runs concentration camps on the Gaza strip... though many Jewish people wore those shoes in the bottom photo. We must rise up against this #fascism before it's too late. #fascists

Continued thread

This is a short (14 minute) segment from The Humanist Report that covers a lot of the same ground I was writing about concerning Trump's very serious plan to violate the US Constitution and serve a 3rd term as president, and also his executive order designed, quite obviously, to rig elections. I've always been a person who needs to read words on a page or screen to really absorb analysis, but I know some of you learn better with the videos, so that's why I periodically share the good ones.

Like myself, the host is adamant that the mainstream establishment is fooling itself and engaging in wishcasting when it ignores the obvious reality that Trump, who just admitted he wasn't joking, fully means to do this. What he adds that I was trying to get at in my analysis but might not have made explicit enough if the pedantic pushback I heard from weird liberals is any indication, is that if Trump is working on illegally violating the constitution to run again, in an election he intends to rig, that means the regime is *already* attempting another insurrection (although technically, I think it would be another autogolpe.) Furthermore, if the regime were to hold such an election under those circumstances, it would obviously not be an election at all, but the consolidation of fascist regime change in the United States of America.

wsws.org/en/articles/2025/03/3 On Thursday, University of Michigan (U-M) President Santa Ono announced the immediate ending of all facets of its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) program. U-M’s DEI program has served as a national model since its inception in 2016 and is one of the highest-funded such programs in the country.

The sudden elimination of the $236 million program marks a complete capitulation by the university to the fascist Trump administration. #GOP #DEI #Fascism

I am in a bad mood today.

Situation at many levels is bad, certainly national and global, certainly regional and local.

I feel a fierce anxious urgency, in the middle of this false calm.

Gnaws at me.

Want to act.

Want to talk.

Want to stand with others

Not sure how.

"Carney also had a phone call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, with whom he discussed increasing trade between Canada and Mexico. A statement from Carney's office said the call was 'productive.'"

Yes please....

2 planned #mairikkka trips in 2025, cancelled weeks ago. Now...back to Mexico? Let's make this a thing!

(Direct flights only thank you.)
