move the u.s. towards being more like hungary or russia, so that it's easier for fascism to rule

it's a form of accelerationism: burning the country and the world down so that it no lo longer is hospitable to a free society, but is sociologically/economically/etc prone to enable fascist governments

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Auchincloss: Trump doesn’t have to face the voters again, so I understand what he's doing. He's trying to hook up all these billionaires who invested in his campaign. He owes them, but for the life of me, I can’t understand why Republicans are allowing Trump to frog-march them off the gangplank.

After much fanfare, the “Epstein files” that Puppet Trump and his minions hyped up ended up being a total scam.

They tried to fool you though 😂

Invited all their influencers to take pictures with *empty binders* like we were gonna fall for that. Trump’s not going to release a list he’s on. DUH!

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

U.S. Terminates Funding for Polio, H.I.V., Malaria and Nutrition Programs Around the World Here are some of the 5,800 contracts the Trump administration formally canceled this week in a wave of terse emails.

This list of cancelled USAID programs is breathtaking — and heartbreaking www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/h...

Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters *right now* that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington.

Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.

"And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way."

There's a powerful few lines in They Thought They Were Free (a book where the author Milton Mayer went to Germany to interview former citizens of Nazi Germany) that says this almost verbatim.

The Unbearable Normality of Creeping Authoritarianism The U.S. government is under attack from within, the Constitution isn't really in effect, but if you don't follow politics and aren't directly targeted, you might not notice

I don’t even mean this at the extreme end of authoritarianism. You can go to Budapest and enjoy a weekend the same way you might in Montreal or Paris. Stay in a Hampton, go to a park, shop at an H&M, grab a coffee. But in the background is corruption, a broken rule of law, decreased civil rights.

It’s hard to communicate the crisis that’s unfolding and the dangers ahead because a lot of superficial things won’t change. The Netflix will still turn on. Your sports teams will play. You’ll see movies. But the things that make liberal democratic life uniquely stable, secure, & vibrant will decay.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.
