Analysis: "American Concentration Camps"

"Once a regime starts to send people to concentration camps, it creates a system of detention that eschews due process & disappears citizens into black holes.

"Our offshore concentration camps are in El Salvador & Guantánamo."

But "once they are normalized, not only for immigrants & residents, but U.S. citizens, they will migrate to the homeland."

The Chris Hedges Report · American Concentration CampsBy Chris Hedges

Today would be a good day for all the chickenshit, cowardly, bootlicking universities and law firms who bent the knee to admit they made a mistake and announce they are joining the resistance.

By the way, I would never hire a law firm that can't even defend itself, and I would never trust an educational institution that ignores history.

There are people in the USA who won't and currently aren't standing for Trump’s fascist takeover, but there are also many people who support him, as well as many people who are apolitical. America is an extremely right-wing nation compared to others like it. If anywhere people will support a fascist takeover, it'll be America. I'd say I hope this doesn't happen, but hope is irrelevant compared to reality.

"This matter has never been about school sports or the protection of women and girls, as has been claimed," Gov. Janet Mills said in response to the DOJ's civil lawsuit against the state.

Anat Shenker-Osorio: #Fascism and the English #language: The words we use matter. So let's say what's actually happening.

"As the #MAGA regime’s ongoing assault on our lives and our loved ones ramps up, many of us feel tongue-tied - at a loss for the words to express what is happening, let alone marshal resistance to it. But, as #Orwell said, “if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought…"

The Contrarian · Fascism and the English languageBy Anat Shenker-Osorio

I just read Jason Stanley's book on *Erasing History*. tonight. I loved his term of a Anti-Colonist Nationalism as I had been struggling to put a name to that feeling that some Nationalism is bad (Supremacist) but Nationalism could be done right. eg. A caring society with empathy etc. This is a beautifully written book. He wrote about ideas I have had as well about the Enlightenment and that was helpful. Yes, the Enlightenment wasn't all roses.

A very approachable book, and I highly recommend reading it.

Sorry I am tired a bit rambling but I am off to bed!

Fascist Word Games and the Birth of an American Dictatorship

"Step by step the Christian Nationalist Trump regime has followed a playbook that transforms fascist propaganda into administrative reality, while purposely fracturing the rule of law to liberate itself from judicial oversight. If the United States was a Middle Eastern oil-producing nation full of Muslims, our government would be openly advocating for an invasion to “liberate” the American people and stop “tyranny.” Of course, maybe none of that matters anyway because unless someone stops him, there will be no law in this country except Trump’s word, and no America to save, except what Trump wills America to be."

Nina Illingworth Dot Com | "When the revolution is for everyone, everyone will be for the revolution" · Fascist Word Games and the Birth of an American DictatorshipOn the fascist theater, propaganda, and deceptions that may lead to the birth of a US dictatorship under Trump unless Americans rise up and stop him.

It's time to get out of the USA.

I don't believe the elections of 2026 will be anything close to free and fair. And even if the fascist party loses both houses of Congress, the dear leader will simply ignore them.

The economy is in a very negative trajectory. Once that hits white people broadly, the fascists will get more draconian to retain power. They have no alternative, as they know losing the presidency means jail time for many of them.

This is my opinion.
