"the #Trump regime isn’t trying to hide what they’re doing. They’re merchandising it. They’re selling t-shirts celebrating human suffering as if it were a #sports team...

This isn’t just about #policy —it’s about turning #cruelty into a consumer product...

the gamification of #genocide. Previous #authoritarian regimes at least had the decency to be ashamed of their #ConcentrationCamps. Trump is selling tickets to the show."

Crazy question: Are there any historians cataloging the insanity that is our current time, in case it all comes crashing down rather more quickly than expected, on paper or non-online media?

The Americans are showing that digital data can be disappeared very, very quickly. The lessons of history - obviously we did not learn everything from authoritarianism/fascism/monarchy the first go-round - must not be lost.

Today in Labor History June 28, 1956: 100,000 workers struck in Poznañ, Poland, shouting "Bread & Freedom.” The protests were violently suppressed, with at least 67 workers killed. The government sent in tanks and 10,000 soldiers. The next day, another 70 would be killed, 700 would be arrested, and hundreds more would be wounded. Several months later, anti-government protests would break out in Hungary, during its Revolution. The Soviets sent in tanks to suppress that uprising, killing thousands. And from these events came the term “tankie” to refer to hardline communists who continued to support (or not criticize) these authoritarian governments and their repressive actions against their workers.

World saw tanks rolling down Constitution Avenue, not in proud demonstration of disciplined strength, but as sad, hollow echo of #authoritarian pageantry. Our soldiers deserved better than 2 march before sparse crowds their service reduced 2 backdrop for corporate sponsors political vanity. Respect 4 our #military demands more than expensive theatrics it demands thoughtful #leadership, responsible stewardship of #taxpayer resources, genuine honor 4 those who wear uniform demwinsmedia.substack.com/p/we
