One of the few things that gets a similar reaction from me, which I've returned to multiple times in recent years, is this from Hannah Arendt in 1951. If looking for a positive takeaway—because when writing like this resonates, things are not positive—it confirms the historical analogy is fitting.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

That was 13 years ago, nothing’s changed

What Walters did to push right-wing ideology onto students and attack educators was counter to the safe and welcoming schools all students deserve–so local businesses in Oklahoma celebrated his resignation! okcfox.com/news/local/l...

A 1945 U.S. Army manual warned of American fascism—what if the future’s here? This analysis plugs that old textbook into today’s streets and shows the chilling parallels. https://americanmanifesto.news/this-is-american-fascism

“Stop the Lying, Trump and Republicans Own This Government Shutdown” Read ⁦‪John Harwood‬⁩ for Zeteo:

Also in this clip- Johnson repeats the lie that Democrats want to fund healthcare for undocumented immigrants - that is flat out false This is #DonaldTrumpsShutdown because he and Republicans want billionaire tax breaks over health care for Americans

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

…

Note the ICE officer laughing at her. He says ICE must go after all immigrants bc they cannot find the criminal ones. Really? He is lying. States are not hiding criminals from ICE. Bless this woman. 1/2

The #TrumpEpsteinShutdown

Lewandowski says ICE will be at the Super Bowl and implies they will deport fans of Bad Bunny: "...it’s so shameful that they’ve decided to pick somebody who just seems to hate America so much to represent them at the halftime game."

Crockett: "What assurances do we have if we entered into an agreement with these Republicans that they wouldn't go back on their word and just say, 'Oh yeah, we'll sign off on a rescissions package'"

This is a very good question.

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein never got kicked out of Wall Street’s VIP club. His banking and investment activities before his death were more widespread than previously known, including accounts at multiple banks.

A 10 day hearing began today in Texas to determine if the GOP's new rigged map will remain in place or be struck down for 2026. The best way to stay informed on what is happening is to subscribe to Democracy Docket, the media outlet I started in 2020, for times like these. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

24 millions Americans shouldn’t have to lose their healthcare so that Elon Musk can blow up more rockets.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the NAACP and the NAACP New York State Conference, my law firm has filed to intervene as defendants in a DOJ lawsuit seeking access to New York state's voter registration data. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

Congressional Republicans shut down the federal government - their third time under Donald Trump’s control. Here’s what that means for you.

Jane Goodall was a global legend at the forefront of discovery — breaking through barriers for women in primatology, science, and beyond. Her curiosity, strength, and kindness changed the world, bridging countries and cultures in pursuit of a better future.

Swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva. Release the Epstein files. Expose and punish pedofiles.

PETE: “Blowing up boats off the coast of Venezuela, renaming the DOD the Department of War… Trump came in saying he’s peace guy, but he’s posting ‘Apocalypse Now’ memes about making war on Chicago. He’s not exactly a peacenik.”

This short passage from a Politico afternoon newsletter captures a huge amount of the advantage gained by lying at scale and the why the DC press corps remains wired for the GOP.

What the fuck is he babbling about?

Stephen Miller has never worked a job outside of politics in his entire life.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

Instead of lardass' lies, actual facts on his failure on 2nd soybean contract he signed. Details below including the fact that lardass left a historic disaster for Biden: COVID!! Fucking liar. www.piie.com/blogs/realti...

Yesterday, but you get it.

Fascist speeches and a New York affordability story. fredklonsky.substack.com/p/fascist-sp...

lardass still congratulating himself on screwing American consumers with tariffs. He let farmers down in '19, had to bail him out then too. He let them down this time by failing to agree on a trade deal with China in 8 months. He blames Biden but no soybeans were purchased in either '19 & '20.

According to Trump who owns a government shutdown? The President.

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

Obama on the coming shutdown. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

That vile, racist AI video Trump dropped last night made it loud and clear: he has zero interest in stopping the shutdown, so the countdown continues. This is Trump’s shutdown!

Trump was president for the last shutdown too

As the shutdown looms, let’s play; what are the facts? FACT: Trump wants to distract from Epstein. RELEASE THE FILES FACT: Republicans run the House, Senate, & White House… if there is a shutdown, Real Math says it’s the REPUBLICANS’ SHUTDOWN.

👀

Keith’s Breaking News: it appears Republicans would rather force a Government shutdown than Continue the subsidies to make Healthcare affordable. If Democrats give in, Americans on Obamacare, 20 million will see their Premiums Double, totally Unaffordable. 😡😡😱 Never Vote Republican Ever Again 🗳️🗳️👏👊😎🇺🇸

🚨🚨🚨 A man in khaki shorts pulls out a weapon and points it at 2 teenagers. I am an adult and have no idea how horrified these kids must be; how traumatized they must feel. This was posted an hour ago. See the next post for further details. This shit has to be stopped. 1/2

So, why is the Trump Administration gifting Argentina $20 billion dollars for “infrastructure” when Natives on the Navajo Nation Reservation must have water trucked in because reservation water is polluted from decades of non-Native mining?

Trump posts this AI video on Truth Social tonight where he has Schumer saying that Democrats are all “woke pieces of shit.” I guess the hat means Jeffries is a migrant or something.
