Geez Louise, Leave Me Out of This After all four living former presidents denied Trump’s phantom Iran story, the rest of the week’s shamrock-soaked presidential theater looked even more absurd.

Trump claimed a former president privately told him he wished he’d attacked Iran too. All four living presidents deny the claim. #uspolitics #foreignpolicy #iranwar #kakistocracy #authortarianism

Have you ever seen an accident happen that could have be avoided? There is a mixture of alarm, disbelief, and anger.

That is what I feel reading “1984”.

How We Got Here: Jelani Cobb on Rise of Trump & White Nationalism After Push for Racial Justice Jelani Cobb, the acclaimed journalist and dean of the Columbia Journalism School, has just published a new collection of essays, “Three or More Is a Riot: Notes on How We Got Here.” The book collects essays beginning in 2012 with the killing of Travyon Martin in Florida. It traces the rise of Donald Trump and the right’s growing embrace of white nationalism as well as the historic racial justice protests after the police killing of George Floyd in 2020. “What we’re seeing is a kind reactionary push to try to return the nation to the status quo ante, to undo the kind of demographic change, literally at gunpoint, as we are pushing people of color out of the country by force,” says Cobb.

ICE to Use ImmigrationOS by Palantir, a New AI System, to Track Immigrants’ Movements - American Immigration Council ICE has partnered with Palantir Technologies—a company co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel—to use AI to track and deport immigrants.

In the ongoing struggle to keep up with the news cycle, it's worth reminding everyone about ICE's $30 million investment in Palantir to track suspected non-citizens. #immigration #news #authortarianism

I watched Hungary’s democracy dissolve into authoritarianism as a member of parliament − and I see troubling parallels in Trumpism and its appeal to workers One of Donald Trump’s favorite politicians is the Hungarian authoritarian leader Viktor Orbán. Would a country led again by Trump embrace similar antidemocratic politics?

We are becoming Hungary.

Heather Cox Richardson 8/22/25 WARNINGS: TRUMP TROOPS IN BLUE AREAS WILL BE STATIONED TO INTERFERE IN ELECTIONS, TRUMP MAKING FOLLOWERS IRRELEVANT On August 18, Democracy Docket's Marc Elias warned that Trump is “stationing the military and other federal law enforcement in blue areas so—when the time comes—he can pivot their mission to suppressing voting rights and undermining free and fair elections.” On Tuesday, Trump ally Steve Bannon said on his webcast War Room: “They're petrified over at MSNBC and CNN that, hey, since we're taking control of the cities, there's going to be ICE officers near polling places. You damn right.” Last March, scholar of authoritarianism Timothy Snyder wrote that those who fantasize about a strongman make the terrible mistake of thinking “that a strongman will be your strongman. He won't,” Snyder wrote. “In a democracy, elected representatives listen to constituents. We take this for granted, and imagine that a dictator would owe us something.” But he doesn't, Snyder explains: your support makes you irrelevant.

The repugs are a true basket of deplorables accumulating power at every level of government. #Authortarianism

Detention camps alligator alley
The city of MIAMI’s elections has been canceled keeping Republicans in office there. This is Authoritarianism and the fact that white Americans are ok with this is fucking weird.

Like what are yall DOING?? #authortarianism

And so begins the dehumanization of political opponents as a precursor to violence & atrocities.

As they’re already done to immigrants.

In a functioning, moral democracy, this language alone would qualify for Ashley Moody’s removal.

Centralized apps like #ICEBloack are easy targets for fascist crackdowns. The White House is already threatening legal action against @cnn.com and the developer just for reporting on it.
