by Paul Street | originally in Counterpunch

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
– Maya Angelou

“It’s amazing,” fellow CounterPuncher Eric Draitser recently wrote me, “that people ever thought a Trump administration would be something other than this.”

“This” is the demented neofascistic Trump-Pence regime, which openly violates basic constitutional norms and rules while conducting itself in barefacedly racist, sexist, and eco-cidal ways.

Andy Zee’s comments on Trump’s speech on the U.S./Iran Crisis: Gangster and Fascist

it’s extremely serious. It’s extremely dangerous… And it has not been alleviated by the Iranians taking a measured response today and then Trump’s speech saying: “that’s good” and we’re prepared to pull back a little bit. It’s not been alleviated by this.” Andy Zee speaks to the implications of the Iran crisis and the urgency of driving out Trump Pence.

Andy Zee on the Qualitative Leap to Fascism and the Urgency to Drive Trump Pence from Power

At a recent meeting of Refuse Fascism, quite a few people compellingly indicted serious crimes of the Trump/Pence Regime. But most did not recognize the qualitative change in the form of rule that fascism entails and the implications of this.

New Year, Same Fight…On a Whole New Level

by Eden

In 1942 a black man named James G. Thompson wrote to The Pittsburgh Courier, wondering whether or not he should enlist in the military and put his life on the line for a country that treated him as “half American.” His letter kicked off a media campaign known as the Double V Campaign–V for Victory abroad against the Axis powers and V for victory at home against racism.

Many things have changed since the ‘40s but Thompson’s words are as relevant as ever…What is needed is a modern Double V Campaign. V for Victory against Trump/Pence and V for Victory against the bigoted institutions and attitudes that allowed them to rise to power and that have protected bigots for centuries before.

This matters. A lot… Nevertheless, we’re in a supremely perilous moment now and we’d be fools not to recognize it.
