T homas tried to turn a philosophical attack on Progressivism into a historical indictment. The real trouble is that his strongest points concern German administrative influence, segregation, and eugenics, while his weakest move is the huge leap from those facts to Hitler. “Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises…” Clarence Thomas, University of Texas at Austin lecture “Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and Mao…” Clarence Thomas, University of Texas at Austin lecture “Administrative questions are not political questions.” Woodrow Wilson, “The Study of Administration”
⚖️📚🔥Clarence Thomas isn’t doing history here; he’s doing ideological mud-wrestling. Yes, parts of early Progressivism were ugly. No, that does not make Hitler the child of American reform politics. Smear first, nuance never. #ClarenceThomas #SCOTUS #History #Authoritarianism
Power consolidation is bad. We need checks and balances. We need decentralized authority and home rule. This is what protests people and circumvents corruption. #politics #fascism #authoritarianism #antifa #resist
Hungary just handed Orbán a supermajority loss. 16 years of court-packing, media capture & gerrymandering — undone at the ballot box. by @daylightatheism.bsky.social

Bannon expands calls for ICE at polling places to include troops, framing recent deployments as “test runs” for election operations and signaling escalation toward hybrid enforcement models. #Bannon #ICE #Military #ElectionIntegrity #VotingRights #Authoritarianism #MSNBC
Congress's growing concern over troop deployments to polling places, alongside past rhetoric on ballot seizures and law enforcement calls, signals a worrying normalization of election militarization. #Trump #NationalGuard #ICE #Elections #ElectionSecurity #Authoritarianism #IdahoCapitalSun
DOJ in freefall. Prosecutors sidelined for refusing to weaponize the law.
That’s not America—that’s authoritarian cosplay.
Picture Barack Obama doing this—impeachment articles drafted overnight.
But with Donald Trump, the same crowd cheers it on.

"The political theorist Richard Seymour has a name for what far-right populists offer voters: “disaster nationalism”. It has a surface-level component, which is largely economic – and a deeper, more powerful appeal, which is emotional.'

We had a decent country once, then people like Starmer came along.

In Hungary, the defeat of Viktor Orbán was partly due to the emergence of "Tisza Islands," small civic groups in rural areas that encouraged democratic engagement and opposition to Orbán's Fidesz party. These groups, which functioned independently of the Tisza party, provided a space for citizens to discuss local issues, organise community events, and eventually engage in political activities. By fostering a sense of community and shared purpose, the islands helped break the "spiral of silence" and emboldened voters to consider alternatives to Orbán's rule.
Away from loyalty and back toward citizenship: The quiet way authoritarianism begins to crumble.
Among the many reasons for Viktor Orbán’s defeat was the rural clubs where citizens relearned democratic habits. archive.ph/i9XDw By @galbeckerman.bsky.social #authoritarianism #democracy

...and now I've been banned from R4R.
Why? They didn't tell me at first. So I asked. They told me I'd violated Rule #3, "no exchanges for money or goods."
Here is what they apparently interpreted as me asking for money or goods:

#Resistance to all #authoritarianism is necessary. The bottom line reason from Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan: “Even non-political virtues do not thrive in the absence of political autonomy.”
#Authoritarianism - This piece argues that oppression is not overcome by hope alone, but by aligned action, the small, steady, courageous steps that turn conscience into change. Read how the Law of Action transforms inner conviction into collective resistance and real-world liberation.
