Yes, It’s #Fascism

Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many & too strong to deny.

"Thousands march through Minneapolis as anti-ICE protests continue

We’re getting more pictures from the demonstration in downtown #Minneapolis today, where hundreds of shops, restaurants and businesses shut their doors in solidarity with those protesting the federal immigration surge throughout #Minnesota. A reminder, this comes more than two weeks after the fatal shooting of #ReneeGood by an #ICE agent."

"A large group of protesters gathered outside Terminal 1 at Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport this morning. They alleged a connection between the airport, Delta Air Lines and ICE’s enforcement actions in Minnesota.

The demonstrators marched in a circle outside in the bone-chilling cold.

Delta has not immediately responded to a request for comment.

‼️ Anti-ICE strike‼️

"Last week, #Minnesota -based faith leaders, unions, and other #community groups called for a #strike and economic #blackout on Jan. 23 in response to the #Trump administration's [attack on #Minneapolis]

That operation has led to ... the death of #ReneeGood, who was shot and killed by Jonathan Ross, an #ICE agent"

"Right now feels impossible, and unfortunately there's a lot of impossible still to come. There's no fast fix, no one easy trick to defeating #fascism.

But.

But honestly I've never felt more hopeful that we actually have what it takes. That we can do the impossible, even when it seems insurmountable.

Because what it takes is us."

"We use words like “police state.” Then we see it happen. To watch is not the same as to experience it, of course. Of being afraid to leave your house. Or having a classmate, co-worker, or family member disappear. But the images make it more real. It removes any illusion that it could not happen here. It is happening here. We see it happening here, if we are willing to look."

"The President won’t rule out military action against #NATO allies because he didn’t get a peace prize.

👉 Because he didn’t get a *peace* prize. Peace. Prize.👈

... We are watching in real-time as the post-World War II international order that the #UnitedStates built and led for 80 years crumbles because one man’s ego couldn’t handle not getting an award."

"But here’s what’s actually happening: basically everyone in a position to do something about this is pretending everything is fine.

The normalization machine is working overtime.

... A decade ago, as a political rival, Ted Cruz once warned that we’d wake up one day to find a President Trump had nuked #Denmark. And yet now he’s actively supporting Trump’s lunacy."

"Second: He’s openly admitting his #Greenland obsession has nothing to do with national #security.

... #Trump, in his own words, saying the quiet part extremely loud: the real reason is that his feelings got hurt over a prize...

Third: “There are no written documents” is weapons-grade historical illiteracy.

...There are, in fact, extensive written documents, including treaties that the #UnitedStates itself has signed"

"Let me be absolutely clear about what you just read: The President of the #UnitedStates is explicitly stating that because he didn’t receive an award he wanted, he “no longer feel[s] an obligation to think purely of Peace” and is therefore justified in threatening to forcibly take territory from a #NATO ally.

This is the stated reasoning. From the President. In writing. To a foreign head of state."
