"The story on Fox News’ website about Brendan Carr’s threat against TV networks made it seem normal for the government to tell journalists what they can report. Fox enables fascism."

Trump can’t handle the truth about the war

So far, major media’s coverage is a departure from past failures

^{Mark Jacob (Stop the Presses)}

"Brendan Carr is not some neutral bureaucrat doing his job. He wrote the FCC chapter of Project 2025. ...

And none of this is new. This is how it has always been done. In Nazi Germany, Joseph Goebbels issued daily press directives telling editors what headlines to run, what stories to bury, and exactly how to frame the regime’s actions."

The President of the United States is afraid

Early this afternoon, the President of the United States gave an unscheduled and deeply troubling phone interview to NBC's Chief White House Correspondent, Kristen Welker, while he was spending time at his weekend retreat and private club, Mar-a-Lago…

There's a word to describe Brendan Carr's attempt to throttle the free press and make it dance to the tune of the state. US media and history textbooks have been very willing to use that word when it comes to other nations.

The word is fascism. Brendan Carr and other authors of Project 2025 want fascist control of American government and society.

Hey. Everyone. A thing.

You can stop saying "far right" bc that was fascists deliberately rebranding themselves.

You can also stop saying "far left" bc it's pretty much always used to equivocate between the fascists and the people who HATE fascists literally more than anyone on Earth.

RE: climatejustice.social/@mago/11…

German right-wing outlet "Die Welt" (German for "The world") lets Viktor Orbán write a guest article for them.

"Welt" is the same Nazi outlet that had also published a guest article by Elon Musk to promote the German Nazi party AfD just before a German election which is illegal election interference. And they let an Israeli Zionist woman threaten all Arabs on their TV "news channel" by letting her directly address the audience with the words, "To all Arabs watching, each dog will get what is coming for him." Among other disgusting vile shit.

"Welt" is part of the fascist Axel Springer Group, led by the zionist Matthias Döpfner.

The Axel Springer Group just acquired the UK right-wing outlet The Telegraph.

"I think I'm feeling the weight of the tragedies that we've had domestically, especially here in Minnesota. Then just seeing the world move on so quickly, but we never grapple with the grief or the pain or the loss from anything. We just move on to the next thing and it just piles up, piles up, piles up. And I think that we have been engaging in denial and distraction as Americans for a long time."

Trump has a "modernized version of the Nazi Great Replacement ideology".

He slams the migration policies he says are transforming Europe, creating strife, cratering birthrates, loss of national identities, etc.

And immigrants aren’t just coming from the Middle East; "tremendous numbers of people coming from the Congo.”

"In other words, the only thing that outstrips Trump’s Islamophobia is his horror of Black people."

We cannot be complacent about the emboldened rise of nazis, fascists, racists, white supremacists, regular old bigots, and authoritarian legislation in provinces and the House of Commons.

remember the game plan:

1. #vote in the #primaries, get real left #candidates

if you don't, don't complain about corporatist dems ever again: you're the fucking problem

2. #vote in the general #election no matter who wins the primary

yes the dems fucking suck. but if you're willing to do nothing, helping #fascism, because you want perfect: you're an entitled moron

It was only thanks to the 30,000 trained observers in Minnesota that reality could not be so easily distorted: ICE was abusing our rights, kidnapping working people off the street and tearing families apart.But with observers present, the world could see what the Party told us not to see. And no amount of words could cover it up. minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/…

"I said I didn’t understand.

'It’s the Christian right,' he said as if talking to a five-year-old. 'Since Reagan, my party has been a magnet for religious conservatives and Christian fundamentalists, where it’s all about good and evil. Too bad, pal. You’re on the evil side.'

That was thirty years ago. Since then, the divide has only sharpened."

And about the role partisanship plays in US politics, Robert Reich offers this anecdote:

"Some thirty years ago, my dear friend, the late Republican Senator Alan Simpson, told me Democrats viewed Republicans as stupid and Republicans viewed Democrats as evil. 'I’d rather be in the stupid party,' he chuckled.

I asked him why Republicans saw Democrats as evil.

He took a deep breath. 'Religion.'”

Why do Americans hate each other while Canadians love each other?

Could it have something to do with our politics? With the sociopath in the Oval?

Noah Berlatsky asks how Trump could possibly remain as popular with many Americans as he continues to be. Two answers:

"Fascism has a constituency."

"Partisanship is a powerful force."
