There is a FASCIST DICTATOR in the US now

This is not something to worry about maybe happening; it’s immediate and real. The orange baby actually was elected for real. Then handed a “can’t be prosecuted for anything” card by John Roberts’ court. Now it’s not going to allow any possibility (or election) to remove it from office, because that’s how fascist dictators operate.

In Notes from the Circus, Mike Brock writes:

“…Donald Trump posted explicit orders on Truth Social directing federal law enforcement to conduct “Mass Deportation Operations” targeting “America’s largest Cities” because they are “the core of the Democrat Power Center.” He used the term “REMIGRATION”—language borrowed directly from European fascist movements. He accused Democratic officials of treason for opposing him. He framed resistance to his orders as hatred of America itself.

This isn’t hyperbole. This isn’t political theater. This is a written directive for ethnic cleansing and political warfare, posted publicly by the President of the United States.

Advice on resistance isn’t hard to find, and nonviolent resistance is much more likely to succeed than the alternative, which would be playing right into the fascist dictator playbook. No Kings Day was a good start; now we have to keep it up.

Sometime in the not-too-distant future, No Kings Day will be a national holiday.



About Me

I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer (among other things) located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. No surprise, she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.

Check out my newsletter, Artisanal Scribbles, where I’m grappling with writing, authentic human authorship, integrity, and the craft of beauty in the AI age. You can also find some of my old software projects at GitHub. Nothing very impressive. I mostly wrote tiny utilities in Python and shell scripts. I’m mostly retired from coding nowadays.

I find myself suddenly de-corporatized (their choice, not mine). To help keep the lights on, buy me a coffee!
