DHS Secretary Kristi Noem (who famously wrote about proudly killing her puppy) uses prisoners (who have not had their due process) as her props as she tries to look tough in a sexy skin-tight top and perfectly coiffed hair and overly made up plastic surgery face while wearing a $50K Rolex. Even conservative commentator Megyn Kelly is disgusted.

Fascism rejects the view that violence is inherently negative or pointless but rather views imperialism, political violence, and war as means to national rejuvenation. Case in point - Trump's attempt to seize Greenland.

Some of the Signal Chat that Trump's Buffoons Allowed to be Released. Careless handling of military information, especially direct military action, puts American soldiers and the world in danger. Trump's Secretary of Defense Hegseth and National Security Advisor Waltz are a threat to our security.

Dangerously stupid Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth leaked military information on a Signal group chat that conveyed details of the timing and weapons descriptions of a planned attack against the Houthis in Yemen when he included not only the names or initials of 18 Trump, but also, Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg. Goldberg published his account of the messages. Thus, exposing the carelessness of Trump's cabinet.

Trump said he would improve the economy. He is failing. Poll from March 16, 2025.

Thomas Jefferson, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."

Fascism depends on the idea of "us vs. them." It dehumanizes segments of the population, trying to reduce empathy and justify inhumane treatment of them. For Nazis, the segments were Jews, homosexuals and people with disabilities. For Trump's America, the segments are people of non-European origin and people with left-leaning politics. Jews were the scapegoat of Nazi's. Trump's scapegoats are immigrants and the former President (Biden)

"Trump: America First" This book title says it all. Fascism depends on ultra-nationalism and is always home grown. Trump and his followers are fascists working to dismantle our democracy. Don't be complacent. If you are not fighting against this, you will be partly to blame when our democracy fails.

We all need to be heroes like Dorothy Thompson. She was one of America's most urgent, eloquent voices against fascism. Her writing and radio broadcasts alerted millions of people to Nazi Germany's threat to democracy and international peace.

NAZI TOWN, USA (Chapter 1) - Watch this. The footage and history will shock you. History repeats itself. There were Nazis in America (The German American Bund) and Germany in the 1930s. Less than 100 years later, fascism is here again led by Trump. Trump has hit the ground running. He is dismantling our democracy and putting his fascist government in its place. (10 min)
