There really is a coordinating Fascist International, perhaps about to take South America, and Russia is a big part of it, and it is eternally insulting that you continually encounter people who believe themselves to be leftists to continue to see Russia in some sort of anti-imperialist role.

Stuff like this is why the Canadian political establishment is (correctly, IMO) assuming that Democrats can NOT be trusted to return the bilateral relationship to the status quo ante going forward.

Obviously you cannot pardon yourself. That would definitionally make you above all law, which even corrupt SCOTUS says cannot be. But also the next Dem should consider all Trump pardons invalid using the logic that the Constitution bars him from office. Because it does!

The Associated Press in August identified at least 50 cases in which close family of active-duty service members were arrested by ICE. What’s different about Perez’s case is that U.S. military personnel appeared to be working with ICE to identify a potential target and use a long-standing military-recruitment tool—the promise of legal status for loved ones—to facilitate an arrest.

An important thing to note in this period of fascism is that fascists are historically not good at government. Their entire shtick is "oh yeah? Well that's so-and-so's fault." Actual governance requires you to have a solution that is not "well let's fuck those marginalized guys up."

In my Stop the Presses newsletter a few months ago, I used a hurricane metaphor to explain why it’s wrong for major media to report on Trump’s authoritarian symptoms but not diagnose the disease. www.stopthepresses.news/p/the-media-...
Imagine a hurricane approaching the coast. News organizations report that winds are increasing, heavy rain is starting to fall, barometric pressure is dropping, people are being urged to evacuate and shop owners are boarding up their windows. But the news outlets carefully avoid using the word “hurricane.”

They might tell themselves, “We said there was a big storm coming and people were urged to leave. Everyone should have figured out it was a hurricane.”

But that’s not human nature. It’s human nature to think, “We can ride this out. It’s a big storm – but it’s not a hurricane.”

This morning I re-watched my video argument with the NY Times' Patrick Healy, and it's clear that the Times believes if it says explicity that the Trump regime is assaulting democracy, that would undermine its work to investigate how the regime is assaulting democracy. What an absurd position.
