Short Thread - Finishing "The Anatomy of Fascism" by Robert Paxton (published 2004) and he has a chapter dealing with how fascism might look if it was to appear in America. Any of this sound familiar?

Remember this when you pay your sky high electric bill.
Mike Levin@MikeLevin
Donald Trump just blocked over 150 wind energy projects across America, killing 30 gigawatts of new power generation. That is enough electricity for nearly 10 million homes. He is doing this while his unauthorized war with Iran sends oil markets into chaos and pushes energy costs higher for every working family in America. Wind already provides 10 percent of our electricity. It powers Republican states like Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma, and North Dakota. American workers build these projects. American landowners profit from them. American grids depend on them. But Trump told us his goal in January. He said he does not want a single wind project built. Now he is using the Pentagon to make it happen, freezing routine military reviews that companies have relied on for years. We are in an energy crisis. Demand is climbing. Prices are rising. And the President is sabotaging American power production because he thinks turbines are ugly. This is not energy policy. It is a personal grudge dressed up as national security, and families across our nation will pay the price. nytimes.com/2026/05/04/cli…

This can’t be real, can it? Because I was told Israel is only in Lebanon because of Hizbollah and this dude is from… 8 years before Hizbollah existed…

Since New Orleans is the financial capital of the state, they are also taking investment, contracting, employment, etc. opportunities away from Black Louisianans.
As @rolandsmartin would say, this is the epitome of the defunding of Black America if this happens.
Tim Miller@Timodc
Drawing a map that gives New Orleans no representation via executive order. A disgraceful assault on democracy and hard earned civil rights in the south:.

SECRETARY RUBIO: We’re asking the UN to call on Iran to stop blowing up ships, remove the mines, and allow humanitarian relief. If the international community can’t rally behind this and solve something so straightforward, then I don’t know what the utility of the UN system is.

They were 100% right to do this. You are not a random citizen, you are quite literally an agent of the US government.

🚨 I was almost taken hostage in Cuba... I went to Cuba to document the humanitarian crisis and show life under 60+ years of communism and now amid the US blockade. Once I landed, they seized all my cameras except my iPhone and had intelligence agents following me all day until my security noticed their spies tailing us to the hotel where they waited all night for us to come down. Under communism there is no free speech, and those who show the reality or speak up are imprisoned. Me going without a planned Cuban government guide nearly got me and my security taken hostage or imprisoned. The situation in Cuba is much worse than anyone knows.

Israel has created more child amputees than any other entity in the entire 300,000-year history of human life on planet earth.

There is no justification for this whatsoever. And it certainly isn’t ’antisemitic’ to call out the atrocities inflicted on Palestinians. And it’s been going on for decades.

It's that BLACK people, specifically, would benefit from these same policies so... that's the real delusion. #DyingofWhiteness

I can’t wrap my head around American lower and middle class people thinking free healthcare, universities, and public services would HURT them financially? Literally allowing the billionaire class to flourish with YOUR tax dollars. It’s delusional.

For perspective: each dot is American workers.
The tiny yellow cluster are the H-1B workers <0.5% of the workforce.
That’s what’s being framed as a ‘crisis.’ There’s no Indian takeover. There are no talented unemployed Americans being replaced.
This debate is being driven more by emotion than by the actual numbers.

It’s hard to imagine a valid basis for a grand jury subpoena seeking names of Georgia election workers when it is issued beyond the five-year statute of limitations.

INCREDIBLE!
Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson who had Trump’s FBI raid her home and take her phones and laptops, just won the Pulitzer Prize with the Washington Post.
Congrats!!

Imagine being a scientist investigating vaccines in the U.S. After years of research and millions spent, your study is blocked from publication because your data doesn't support RFK's and the FDA's battle against vaccines. This is why people like me were forced to leave.

The State Department fired 200 experienced U.S. Foreign Service Officers today. No Administration has been more dismissive of our nonpartisan career diplomats. Shameful.
