Sure, Trump will nominate a fascist POS but with the Heritage Foundation in a civil war?
Getting rid of Alito (& maybe Thomas) would one a good start
in our fight against #GOPFascism

Calling for execution of opposition leaders for reminding service members and federal law officers of their legal obligations is the epitome of authoritarianism.

“Epic Night for Democrats”: Party Wins Races Across the U.S. in Voter Rebuke to Trump

We get an overview of how Democrats won big across the United States in Tuesday’s elections, with Daniel Nichanian, editor-in-chief of Bolts. Democratic Congressmember Mikie Sherrill won New Jersey’s governor’s race, and Abigail Spanberger flipped Virginia’s governorship. In California, voters approved a new congressional map that could help Democrats pick up five additional congressional seats in a move to counter Texas’s redistricting plan. Local races across the countries also saw widespread Democratic wins. Nichanian says he has “never really quite seen this level of systematic win for pretty much anything that there was [for Democrats] to win.”

This Is How to Fight Fascism: Naomi Klein, <span class="caps">AOC</span> & Brad Lander on Mamdani Victory

At Zohran Mamdani’s victory party at the Brooklyn Paramount on Tuesday night, Democracy Now! spoke with Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “We’re not going to be intimidated,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We’re going to fight for working families. We’re going to stand with immigrants. We’re going to stand with the diversity of this city.” Brad Lander, former mayoral candidate who cross-endorsed with Mandani in the Democratic primary, commented on the power of having a “Muslim New Yorker and a Jewish New Yorker say we are not going to allow Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams or Donald Trump or Elon Musk or Stephen Miller to weaponize fear and pit us against each other.” “This is such an incredible proof of concept of how to fight fascism,” added the Canadian journalist, author and activist Naomi Klein.

“Denying People the Right to Food”: Millions Could Go Hungry as Trump Admin Holds Up <span class="caps">SNAP</span> Benefits

As the U.S. federal government shutdown enters its second month, over 40 million people are now struggling to feed themselves and their families after SNAP food assistance was cut off over the weekend. “We are headed for a major public health and economic crisis,” says child hunger expert Mariana Chilton. She adds that by refusing to disburse SNAP benefits, “the Trump administration is breaking the law.”
