Rules for fascism- example 1. Taking control of DC police. Rule 3 take action without assessing the consequences, Legal or social. Rule 6 appeal to social frustration- crime is a frustrating problem and easy to lie about. Rule 12 machismo and weaponry- violence is what tough guys do to "win".

Rules for fascism. 4. Disagreement is treason. The leaders opinions are the only ones that matter. Easy to see people who used to disagree with trump, change their opinions to align with his. 5. Fear of difference......immigrants, trans people, democrats, I could go on.

14 characteristics of fascism 1. Powerful nationalism- flag waving, military parades, Make America great again, 2. Disdain for human rights- alligator alcatraz, no federal help, deportations to random countries 3. Unifying enemies/scapegoats- this time around its not Mexicans, it's everyone

“Everything is a conspiracy theory if you don’t know how anything works,” says @garrisonhayes.bsky.social in his video on the conspiracy theories swirling in the aftermath of the deadly Texas floods. The irony? There’s no need for a conspiracy theory when the truth is simple: Texas floods often.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Looks like the tRump effect has worked in Australia now too just like Canada! Thanks tRump, you've turned us harder to the left than we were looking before you wrecked everything in your country. See, I can say nice things about tRump when he deserves it. 😊

The funny side effect of trumps insanity and his rubbish about other countries in NATO not paying their fair share, is that now they are forced to, they will each become stronger, less willing to buy American weapons and less willing to back the US up in a fight. Way to weaken your country moron!

10 Democrats voting for this budget bill is so mind numbingly tone deaf and out of touch that I’m trying to quell the anger of 5000 suns. For context, this bill was so cruel, it gave Democrats at least until 2028 to campaign how horrible it is. How do we do that when Democrats passed it?

Now that tRump is pretending to hold putin to the same standard, lol, I wonder, does putin also have to sign over his mineral rights to tRump in order to get a suitable outcome? And if putin rejects his offer, will he be yelled at and abused on a national stage?

Watching polling projections in Australia. Here we go again, another few years of liberal (right wing) f#*# ups and cuts to services, then back to labour to fix it if they can. 50+ years of this stupid roller-coaster is doing my head in.
