Is This Any Way to #Stop #Fascism?
You might not care if #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump says #Muslims must #register with their #government because you’re not one. And you might not care if Trump says he’s going to #roundup all the #Hispanic #immigrants, because you’re not one … if he keeps going and he actually becomes #president, he might just get around to you. And you better hope there’s someone left to help you.

LGBTQ+ voters in these 4 states could swing the 2024 presidential election
LGBTQ+ voters make up a relatively small percentage of the American electorate. But they’re poised to play an outsize role in the ‘tipping-point’ states most likely to decide the election.The Conversation
“The last time the United States launched a mass deportation effort … U.S. citizens of Hispanic descent were rounded up and sent to Mexico—a place that many had never been before. The mass deportations that #Trump is proposing would be devastating for our economy and dangerous for American Latinos.”

How Mass Deportations Would ‘Devastate’ Texas
The Lone Star State is home to millions of undocumented residents and members of mixed-status families critical to the state’s economic success, yet Texas leaders are cheering on Trump anyway.Francesca D’Annunzio (The Texas Observer)
Did you know IBM helped Hitler carry out the Holocaust? Is it in any way surprising that we can’t do anything about Big Tech and toxic oligarchs like Elon Musk when even those who helped carry out one of the worst tragedies in human history remain unpunished? Should it come as a shock that the very same bastards are funding and pining for fascism today?

" #DonaldTrump has described at length the dangerous and disturbing actions he says he will take if he wins the presidency.
...These statements are so outrageous and outlandish, so openly in conflict with the norms and values of #American #democracy that many find them hard to regard as anything but empty bluster.
We have two words for American voters: Believe him."

Opinion | What Donald Trump Would Do, in His Own Words
The former president’s most disturbing statements are not bluster. They are a road map to what he will do if elected again.The Editorial Board (The New York Times)
"Robert Kagan, who resigned from his position [as editor at large at Washington Post] on Friday after more than two decades at the publication, told the Daily Beast that Trump’s meeting with executives of Bezos’ Blue Origin space company the same day that the Amazon founder killed a plan to support Harris was proof of the backroom deal."

Ex-WaPo Editor: This Is a Straight Bezos-Trump ‘Quid Pro Quo’

"'In place of international cooperation, the fascists seek to substitute a perverted sort of ultra-nationalism which tells their people that they are the only people in the world who count. With this goes hatred and suspicion toward the people of all other nations.'
Third, fascists would insist that 'the world has but two choices—either fascism or communism, and they label as ‘communists’ everyone who refuses to support them.'”

"First, they would pit religious, racial, and economic groups against one another to break down national unity. Part of that effort to divide and conquer would be a 'well-planned "hate campaign" against minority races, religions, and other groups.'
Second, they would deny any need for international cooperation, because that would fly in the face of their insistence that their supporters were better than everyone else."

The pamphlet warned Army members not to imagine that fascism could not come to the US. Americans had once laughed at Hitler as a funny little man with a mustache, and look at what happened.
"The War Department thought it was important for Americans to understand the tactics fascists would use to take power in the United States. They would try to gain power 'under the guise of
"super-patriotism" and "super-Americanism."' And they would use three techniques:"

"“The basic principles of democracy stand in the way of their desires; hence—democracy must go! Anyone who is not a member of their inner gang has to do what he’s told. They permit no civil liberties, no equality before the law.' 'Fascism treats women as mere breeders. "Children, kitchen, and the church," was the Nazi slogan for women,' the pamphlet said."
Heather Cox Richardson offers a valuable précis of a series of pamphlets the US War Deprtment published in 1943 for for US Army personnel in the European theater of World War II. The series was entitled "Army Talks."
The pamphlets define fascism as “government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control of the economic, political, social, and cultural life of the state.”

Beginning in 1943, the War Department published a series of pamphlets for U.S.Heather Cox Richardson (Letters from an American)
"It is 'vitally important' to learn to spot native fascists, the government said, 'even though they adopt names and slogans with popular appeal, drape themselves with the American flag, and attempt to carry out their program in the name of the democracy they are trying to destroy.'”
To repeat: this warning was issued in 1943. After what happened in Europe in the 1930s. It was issued by the US War Department.

Hungary: Orban compares EU to USSR, urges people to 'resist'
At a rally to commemorate the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, Hungary's Viktor Orban compared the EU to the Soviet Union and criticized the bloc's support for Ukraine in the face of Russia's ongoing invasion.Deutsche Welle
“‘It is no coincidence that the request was transmitted to the Parliament on October 10, the day after my speech in the Plenary on the Hungarian presidency, when I harshly criticized Orbán’s actions,’ Salis said in a press release, adding sarcastically, ‘Evidently, tyrants have a hard time digesting criticism.’”

Washington Post editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes published this on the paper’s website, titling it “Democracy Dies in Darkness”
#WashingtonPost #fascism #Editorial #politics
"This is a rather monstrous abdication of responsibility in the face of the very real fascist threat that looms over us all—especially those of us who aren’t billionaires. It is yet another stark and troubling instance of the failures of our corporate media to do its job."

"This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty."
~ Marty Baron, former executive editor of Washingon Post quoted by D. Earl Stephens
Stephens adds,
"When a newspaper with the logo 'Democracy Dies in Darkness' fails to endorse the candidate that stands up for that Democracy, they are not being accurate or credible.
They in fact are completely worthless.
Dead."

BREAKING: The Washington Post Has Died
Its stunning refusal to endorse Kamala Harris is the end of the venerable newspaper ...D. Earl Stephens ✍️ (Enough Already)
"The editor of the editorial page had already drafted the paper’s endorsement of Kamala Harris when publisher Will Lewis—who is a new hire, hailing from the Rupert Murdoch journalism tree—quashed it and then released a CYA statement about how the paper was 'returning to its roots' of not endorsing candidates. The Post itself reported that the decision was made by the paper’s owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos."

The Guardrails Are Already Crumpling
Jeff Bezos’s decision to pull a Washington Post endorsement of Harris is foreboding. But not necessarily for the reasons you think.Jonathan V. Last (The Bulwark)
"Our corporate media, run by billionaires, are abdicating their duty and fidelity to democracy by proactively bending the knee to Trump and his dictatorial ambitions. The people must resist."
~ Wajahat Ali
"Will Lewis should be ashamed, if shame is an emotion he is capable of feeling. What an empty shell of a leader. What an embarrassing decline for a once-venerated news organization.
This decision won’t impact the outcome of the election in eleven days. But it will have a lasting impact on how people think of the Washington Post."

A suggestion for the Washington Post's new motto: "Obey in Advance"
A study in willful incompetenceDave Karpf (The Future, Now and Then)
"As the 2024 election looms, media self-censorship in response to Trump’s potential return threatens the democratic role of journalism. …
In times like these, it's crucial for media organizations to remember their responsibility to the public. Anticipatory obedience may offer short-term safety, but it poses long-term risks to the very fabric of democracy."

Billionaires can’t be trusted to maintain the institutions of democracy.Benjamin Wittes (The Bulwark)
"Their billionaire owners [of Los Angeles Times and Washington Post] are Trump enablers. ...
The only credible explanation I can think of is that the Post’s billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos, doesn’t want to raise the ire of Donald Trump, should Trump become president — especially now that Trump has declared his intention to punish his opponents."

"We are come to a juncture in America where, as in the first Gilded Age, enormous wealth is lodged in a very few hands — hands that are now either actively supporting Trump (such as Elon Musk) or afraid to come out against him for fear he’ll wreak vengeance on them if they do."

"It is not hard to guess why Bezos and Soon-Shiong made these decisions. Both are billionaires whose other businesses could be hurt by people who conflate their papers’ editorials with the two men’s own opinions. And both are hedging against the chance of Donald Trump winning the election, since he will surely turn his vengeance on those who opposed him."
