I am aware of the history of 20th century fascism and grew up around Holocaust survivors. When fascism returns, they said, expect indifference or outright cowardice from 90% of your friends, neighbors and colleagues. AND YET, it still shocks me to see this groveling cowardice in real time.

Trump diverted $176.9mn from a congressionally appropriated human rights fund to instead fund fascist political parties across Europe, Canada and South Africa... in most cases, funding the exact same entities that the Kremlin supports. Another example of Trump-Putin collaboration on the global stage

Screenshot of two posts by Washington Post reporter Dan Lamothe on X. Lamothe reports that the Pentagon has secretly placed several conservative military veterans with large online followings into undisclosed government roles while they publicly amplify Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s viewpoints. He says some have civilian positions that could influence policy and names Rob Maness, Kurt Schlichter, and Thomas Anderson, who posts online as “Cynical Publius.”
