It is by understanding how past fascisms worked, and not by checking the color of shirts, or seeking echoes of the rhetoric of the nation-al-syndicalist dissidents of the opening of the twentieth century, that we may be able to recognize it. The well-known warning signals— extreme nationalist propaganda and hate crimes-are important but insufficient. Knowing what we do about the fascist cycle, we can find more ominous warning signals in situations of political deadlock in the face of crisis, threatened conservatives looking for tougher allies, ready to give up due process and the rule of law, seeking mass support by nationalist and racialist demagoguery. Fascists are close to power when conservatives begin to borrow their tech-niques, appeal to their "mobilizing passions," and try to co-opt the fascist following.

The Lectern Guy-@lecternleader X.com On a serious note, 1 am writing up my complaint against the DOJ and submitting it this week. Maybe l'Il fly to DC and deliver it personally. My situation is different than most. The infamy gained from this photo will be in history books. What they did to me will have a generational effect on my family and their livelihoods. I was mocked and called a thief by Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, and Jim Carey. My face and the accusation of being a thief was shared globally... for years. It still persists today harming my chances to win my local election or lead a normal life. Public school teachers told my children and their friends that their dad was a terrorist. My wife's reputation was dragged through the mud. Death threats caused her work to have to hire private security.

Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle. We'll never know. Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens. This screenshot is being shared by Drew Grage who says, "This brewery in Wisconsin is gushing over the assassination attempt. These people want us dead." Drew Grage’s post is quote tweeted by George Santos, who says, "This place needs to be investigated as they are creating an incentive… that’s brazen and vile."

@willhovell9019 • 3w ago Astonishing ignorance of French history and usual American stereotypes of France and the French, ignorant of Spanish Civil War. Please use the correct pronunciation of Petain, not Peton. Undergraduate musing on history. Germany didn't exist until 1871. Misuse of the term Ironic. The rest of North America and western Europe is at last moving away from Trump's USA.

Fascist violence was neither random nor indiscriminate. It carried a well-calculated set of coded messages: that communist violence was rising, that the democratic state was responding to it ineptly, and that only the fascists were tough enough to save the nation from antinational terrorists. An essential step in the fascist march to acceptance and power was to persuade law-and-order conservatives and members of the middle class to tolerate fascist violence as a harsh necessity in the face of Left provocation.84 It helped, of course, that many ordinary citizens never feared fascist violence against themselves, because they were reassured that it was reserved for national enemies and “terrorists" who deserved it.85Fascists encouraged a distinction between members of the nation who merited protection and outsiders who deserved rough handling. One of the most sensational cases of Nazi violence before power was the murder of a communist laborer of Polish descent in the town of Potempa, in Silesia, by five SA men in August 1932. It became sensational when the killers’ death sentences were commuted, under Nazi pressure, to life imprisonment. Party theorist Alfred Rosenberg took the occasion to underscore the difference...
Screenshot from Chotiner interview. Chotiner: What do you think “Melania” accomplishes? Why do you think it’s an important movie? Spinotti: You’ll have to answer that question yourself. My interest in the project was to shoot, to see the location, to meet these people, to work with Brett. I couldn’t give you an answer like that. You should probably ask people who know marketing better. Chotiner: I didn’t mean in terms of marketing. I meant artistically. Spinotti: I think it’s a movie that is very well executed. The music is splendid, and it was shot in a very interesting way. It was treated very carefully, finished with great precision and accuracy. But I don’t know. I wouldn’t know how to judge that film. Chotiner: “Triumph of the Will” is very controversial, but you can’t deny that as a piece of filmmaking it is a very impressive achievement. You can like something without agreeing with its politics. Spinotti: Yes, probably so. I might’ve liked if the film could have been a little more about her activities and achievements, which are described in the end titles. But, also, our operation was limited to twenty days, and to two or three days after Donald went into the White House. Maybe it would’ve been more interesting if it was really about what she’s done as First Lady. Chotiner: Are you going to do “Heat 2”?
Screenshot from article in quoted post. This is the sort of unease that should be cast over ICE. The goal shouldn’t be simply to undo the agency in 2029, but to undermine it right now. Democratic leadership should make promises about what it will do the next time the party holds power. It should include robust federal inquiries into ICE’s conduct at every level, including both civil rights and criminal investigations. It should include placing every single existing agent on a permanent no-hire list to ensure that the cultural issues do not simply transfer over to whatever entity replaces ICE. This isn’t an exhaustive list. But the goal must be demoralization. It needs to be made clear to every ICE agent that, should they remain with ICE, they will soon be unemployed and potentially under investigation.
