"As late as the 1990s, only children with the most profound symptoms were considered to have autism ... The increase isn’t among the profound cases; it’s an increase in the milder cases that weren’t historically considered autism." It's not the best language but it's a key fact.

Only fascists fear anti-fascism.

Queer neurodivergent anti-fascist revolution now.

This is a fascist declaration of war on the American people, making resistance to fascism into 'terrorism'. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The fascists want to "cure" autism. Guess what else they want to "cure"? Being neurodivergent in any way, and also being trans, being queer, being gay, etc. It's fascism, they want to eliminate difference. That's the core driving ideology of everything they do. Refuse it.

IT IS A DAY OF THE WEEK and TRUMP IS LYING

Fascism uses violence in a way familiar to anyone who has experienced police violence: Their violence is always legitimate and permitted, while any resistance is used as an excuse for them to inflict more violence.

This is a society and economic system that incentivizes only profit, idolizes only wealth. That rewards corruption as achievement but punishes care as a crime. Ending this horror requires a complete revolution in the underlying culture, a fundamental change in worldview.

It isn't only US mainstream media failing humanity, it's all the corporations. US companies are navigating this fascist takeover by looking for ways to profit when they should be refusing to support the authoritarianism, corruption, and bigotry at the core of Trumpism and MAGA.

After 9 months of this, do Americans really want a decade, or more? The lesson from history is to stop fascism early, while you still can. Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, Nazis were in power until 1945. That's over 12 years under Nazi rule.

How long until most Americans realize that fascists can't be voted out once they have power?

"We are going into parliament to arm ourselves with weapons from democracy's arsenal…. If democracy is stupid enough to give us free tickets and allowances for this disservice, that is its own business." — Joseph Goebbels, 1928 encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

"If a wave of insurrection surges through the country, if it is in the air, if many join us, then this system can be cast aside with one last mighty effort. An end with terror is always better than terror without end." — the White Rose anti-Nazi resistance, 2nd leaflet

One thing I have noticed is that people cannot fucking Read a Text, which is to say consume a piece of information and then meaningfully integrate what it says into their decision-making from that point onward. Unrelated to whether or not they remember or agree with it, new info gets no traction.

It's a nice time of year to start reading or re-reading The Lord of the Rings, after all the story begins this month: "Bilbo and Frodo happened to have the same birthday, September 22nd."

Meanwhile on Twitter....

Understand what Fascism does: It makes any resistance illegal. Fascists will make anything that challenges their fascist takeover illegal. If it isn't made illegal eventually, it probably doesn't challenge their power. Resisting fascism always requires breaking fascist laws.

Apple's decision to consolidate all operating systems into one number is super convenient because you can just say: I hate OS 26 and it applies to all of them.

Proving once again: Only fascists oppose anti-fascism: "Hungary urges EU to designate antifa as a 'terrorist' group" www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/...

Everyone keeps quoting Andor, which is great. Andor shows we'll never stop fascism with speeches and votes in the imperial senate. Real resistance requires sabotage, rallying allies of the rebellion at a secret base, and destroying the empire's genocidal weapons.

"Whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at [the concentration camp in Florida] could not be determined ... Around 800 detainees showed no record on ICE’s online database. More than 450 listed no location and only instructed the user to 'Call ICE for details'

All attacks on migrants and trans people are fascist scapegoating. Whether in the US, UK, Canada, or elsewhere. When you see any politician going after migrants or going after trans people, see them for what they are: fascists.

Never underestimate the atrocities possible in any society that calls it 'justice' when they hand out uniforms, badges, and titles as permission to abduct, torture, and murder.

"Our country was founded upon the admirable principles of a moneyed elite spoon-feeding its beliefs to the ignorant and unwashed masses, and yet today that legacy stands in tatters.

Secession now could save lives from what's coming.

CA, OR, WA, and all tribal governments, on a nation-to-nation basis, should secede from the United States and establish a new independent federation. The federation would need to enshrine universal rights in a post-scarcity system.

There's clearly an undeclared Civil War going on in the US, and as long as it remains that way, we will continue to see outbursts of violence: against the people by the fascists, as resistance to the fascism, and peripheral violence in general not associated with either side.

"Space implies great empty vistas, a luminous galaxy of icons and avatars, a hallucinogenic dreamworld... No sense of the meatgrinder in cyberspace. No hint of pestilence or predation, creatures with split-second lifespans tearing endlessly at each others' throats." — Maelstrom, Peter Watts

We're only 9 months into the fascist takeover of the US. It is undeniably better to stop fascists from completely taking power as early as possible, than to wait and try to remove them later. Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, Nazis were in power until 1945. That's over 12 years.

Trump and everyone who follows his orders is a giant rotten steaming pile of fascist filth. May anti-fascists be victorious and remove every one of them from power and prosecute them all for crimes against humanity.

We’d be in a much stronger position right now if mainstream Democrats had taken a common sense stand for First Amendment principles instead of piling on undergraduate standing up for Palestine.

"Our Faculty Legal Defense Fund gives public college faculty legal help when they’re punished. We connect qualifying cases with local attorneys and cover initial costs. If you know a professor facing punishment for their speech, contact FIRE." Times are bad when FIRE is the ally.... but here it is.

Trump has proved he's a fascist by banning anti-fascism. Nazis built their first concentration camps to lock up anti-fascists. The first 100 prisoners at Dachau were communists. Socialists, anarchists, and other anti-fascists were their primary opposition. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

I am and always will be an anti-fascist. Only fascists oppose anti-fascism, only fascist governments make anti-fascism illegal. #AntiFascism

Turns out democracy died in daylight.

"Free speech is only for MAGA" isn't even a contradiction, it's the ideological system at the heart of fascism. The in-group is all that matters, everyone else is not just disposable but must be eliminated.

US Libertarian and Leftist alliance is about to start an actual revolution to take back the country from Fascism - echoing the US and USSR fighting Nazism in WWII. Just as in WWII, the question is: what happens after?

“And Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.” 👏👏👏
