"Well, we can all see that that cherished assumption has not held against the rise of an entranced cult, 77 million voters unleashing the hounds, a right-wing Supreme Court supermajority immunizing a felonious president and supporting oligarchy, and a Republican-controlled Congress that has abandoned its duty to the rule of law, the Constitution and sanity itself."
"It has been a long-held belief that what happened in Nazi Germany could not happen here—that our centuries-old democratic system that relies on a separation of powers and checks and balances would withstand the rise of a despot."
~ Steven Beschloss

I'm always deeply wary of anyone that isn't the Roman Empire trying to start a new salute (or reappropriate an old one).
There are a variety of perfectly acceptable options (handshake, touching elbows, namaste) depending upon how socially distanced one wishes to be.
I wonder if there's merit in making anyone wishing to start a new salute use one from the #ArnoldRimmer character in #RedDwarf.
@randahl Yes, #DonaldTheDeplorable is firing thousands of doctors at #HHS and biomedical engineers at #NIH. Doctors care very good at stiching, and engineers can speed-up production of our new #BrownShirts.
#Trump is a #StableGenius alright, but he’s making his puppet master #Putin very happy!
From the article: "In a statement, state police said they acted appropriately after learning of the plans of ICE. 'As in any situation where a member becomes aware of federal immigration enforcement, the Troopers responded appropriately by neither assisting nor obstructing the federal action,' the statement said."
They NEED to start arresting #AgolfShitler's #brownshirts. Maybe even roughing them up a bit. #ResistNow, or forever hold your peace.

I hope #EvilElon is at least issuing his #DOGE #lackeys with #brownshirts so people know who they are.
@NatalieDavis #Trumps little #BrownShirts . Disgusting, completely unnecessary.
#Brownshirts come in many colors under MAGA’s regime https://newsie.social/@GW/114162232503432963
@StillIRise1963 #Laws - just like #HumanRights or anything codified is only as strong and effective as it can be enforced AGAINST the Government!
Not to mention we already see #Brownshirts doing illegal shit!
BTW i would like y’all to start speaking about #globalization as a #fascist American project.
globalization is the worldwide normalization of American #corporatist #fascism.
business suits are the new #nazi suits. the Silicon Valley aesthetics of khakis is the new #brownshirts. cop uniforms are the new #blackshirts.
#aesthetics play a huge part in normalizing violence; especially state #violence.

Adolf syndrome, also known as anomalous health incidents (AHIs), is a disputed medical condition.
It is characterized by sudden disruption of motor function of the right shoulder and arm and afflicts conservative personalities. Prominent examples include Elon Musk and Steve Bannon.
Suggested temporary relief measures include external application of milkshakes to the torso, kinetic redirection, as well as shouting "your fly is open".
#BrownShirts.... I really thought they'd be from the #Jan6 crew....
So a thing I need to discuss. Otherization of enemies of humanity. Like nazis.
I have a friend who desperately wants to #DoSomething . He's largely on board with my #GeneralStrike ideals, he's scared of trump, he has a lots of friends who will be hurt by trump and his #brownshirts...but he (like me) will be fine unless he sticks his neck out.
