Matt Kennard shows in his new book that the bipartisan War on Terror laid the groundwork for the Trump presidency and the rise of fascism — now, with extremists empowered, we face the consequences.

The Chris Hedges Report
And for those who still doubt if Orange is a fascist...

Yes, It’s Fascism

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

  • Demolition of norms
  • Glorification of violence
  • Might is right
  • Politicized law enforcement
  • Dehumanization
  • Police-state tactics
  • Undermining elections
  • What’s private is public
  • Attacks on news media
  • Territorial and military aggression
  • Transnational reach
  • Blood-and-soil nationalism
  • White and Christian nationalism
  • Mobs and street thugs
  • Leader aggrandizement
  • Alternative facts
  • Politics as war
  • Governing as revolution

That's what it's all about folks: Giving the police the opportunity to have fun off-leash.

Adam Gabbatt reports on the visa and green-card holders being held in US detention centres

The Guardian

"SC ruled -but Trump & his dictator friend said no *laughed -mocked the journalist who asked whether they'd abide by the Ct's order. AG/SOS/WHDCS lied about the facts of the case.

Same day we found out:🚨govt disappeared a PhD stu for nothing but an op-ed, a man's 19-yr old son who agents admitted was the wrong kid +a visa-holding Russian scientist at Harvard *forgot to declare frog embryos. Ppl: paying ATTN -it's getting more coverage."
-J Favreau

The world is aghast.
