America has gone full on Nazi under Trump.

This is terrifying, this is dangerous.

Call. It. Out.

Stay focused, people. We knew the gop was doing everything to suppress our vote. Follow the congresswoman. We must be united to turn Texas Blue. Don't fall for their tricks.

This is what it looks like when fascists successfully take over an institution.

This is the aesthetic of American fascism and state capture all in one.

Great 🧵 with many links to what political science research & history can tell us about FIRCs:

A long time ago, I used to know a lot about foreign-imposed regime change (FIRC) and study them.

I guess that makes me qualified to write a thread about them, especially in wake of Trump bombing Iran.

So here goes nothing. 🧵

It’s once again Girl Scout cookie season so it’s time for me remind everyone to please consider buying from NYC’s Girl Scout Troop 6000, which is entirely made up of girls living in NYC homeless shelters 🙏❤️

To protect our neighbors, we’re building anti-ICE signs and banners that community groups across NYC can use in their neighborhoods for tabling with whistles & KYR info, canvassing businesses, marching, etc. Here’s some behind the scenes at one of our art builds. Sign up at: HandsOffNYC.com/build.

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

3x Trump voter: I really want to apologize. I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas...He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I just want to apologize to everybody in the country for supporting this rotten, rotten man.

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto

Today they threatened to arrest all of the neighbors who came out and watched 20 agents struggle to change a flat tire for “impeding a federal investigation.” These are just clowns and they absolutely know it.

The comms rep just had no ability to comprehend that AI takes in the information that already exists in the world and repackages it. Our reporting had yet to be published and therefore wasn't out in the world hadn't been ingested by any chatbot.

And they just... believed the chatbot.

I’d assumed this was a MAGA crowd. Didn’t realize AEW is something different than WWE

Is It Time for Wrestlers To Get Political? President Donald Trump is starting to get a negative reaction from the wrestling world.

Thank you for this. I was just in the weeds trying to figure this out. “WWE is labeled as the pro-Trump MAGA company, whereas AEW, with its more progressive talent and open support for trans rights, is where the left goes for their wrestling entertainment” www.thesportster.com/wwe-aew-get-...

“Fuck ICE” chants—not just one rando, but if you listen it’s the whole arena—at a pro wrestling match strikes me as significant.

It’s not that chant at an NRA event, but it’s closer to that than I think Miller et al would at all like.
