The far-right & their power-hungry enablers are implementing Bannon's post-truth strategy of 'flooding the zone” w conspiracies.

Intolerance to criticism, mystification of basic facts, criminalization of journalists/experts is central to preventing accountability & transparency.

Solidarietà a Enrico Letta e al Pd di Pietralata per le vergognose scritte comparse sulla saracinesca del circolo.

Non ci lasciamo intimidire da chi vuole alimentare il clima di odio nel Paese.

Andiamo avanti con ancora maggiore determinazione.

I am so tired of people that have no clue about the history of fascism serially downplaying its present dangers... I will ignore them & I will just dedicate the rest of the day to continue working on my next book: The Wannabe Fascists University of California Press ...

As Rula Jebreal said they just pontificate. This lack of susbtance should not be conflated with a real debate among experts...not everybody agrees of course among us ... why not reading the experts on fascism first?

Orbán, Putin, Trump, & others promoted conspiracy theories targeting Soros, falsely alleging
that he paid Dems everywhere to use democracy as a weapon against the right.
There is a straight line between conspiracy theories & the attempted political assassination of paul Pelosi.

The road to fascism is lined w people pontificating to stop overreacting.
It took a terrorist attack on Congress for the US to realize that MAGA Fascists are a threat to democracy.
I’m astonished at Italians’ delusion that fascism is dead, regardless neo-fascists being In power.

In the Far Right government led by Italy’s Giorgia Meloni they are debating whether to put teenagers in prison for 4 or 6 years for having attended a rave party. Law and order, with the post-fascists in charge.

Again, not to be missed in all of this: Don Jr. retweeted Roseanne’s vicious conspiracy theories about George Soros today.

#Jamal paid the ultimate price for freedom of press, he deserves justice not impunity. #EndImpunity

Politicians who rant about powerless people being 'criminals' or an 'invasion' are inviting extremists to commit violence against the maligned group.

Why did Giorgia #Meloni pick Brussels as her first trip abroad?

Desperate to receive her ultimate legitimation, she's already testing her new EU doctrine:

1 paint the EU as responsible for all domestic problems to your electorate

2 blame the EU when your government will fail

London's Jewish News not holding back

When one side has a monopoly on weapons and violence, and the other side is *students*, it’s not a “clash”

The credible, close-call attempt to kill or maim Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a second time, and the GOP response, signals how close the US is to the end of the road as a Democracy. It also tells us about what comes after the fall. 1/n

Where’s Nancy?'

'She’s not here.'

'When is she going to be back?'

'She’s in Washington. She’s not going to be back for a couple days.'

'Well, I’m going to tie you up.'

Paul Pelosi’s attacker used the very same words used by the violent mob that stormed the Capitol.

Paul Pelosi’s suspected attacker had a section on his blog called “wamen” ranting against feminists. He used the n-word and said black people were enslaved by communism. He was a Soros antisemitic cabal conspiracy theorist.

He’s a far-right extremist, straight up.
