Fascism is here.

Fascism is here. It’s not wearing jackboots. It’s wearing a flag. Holding a Bible. Funded by billionaires. And led by a felon in a suit shouting: “Law and order.” “Patriots only.” “America First.” What does it look like? Schools punished for teaching history. Teachers criminalized for using a kid’s pronouns. Universities defunded unless they obey. Law firms threatened for defending the law. Judges smeared and silenced, Immigrants blamed. Minorities targeted. The press attacked. Truth labeled treason. Loyalty to one man over the Constitution. This is not politics. This is the authoritarian playbook. And it’s happening now. The time to stop it isn’t later. It’s now – while courts still work, protest is still legal, and votes still count. If you’re afraid, good. That means you’re paying attention. if you’re silent, history will remember that too. (continued)
