A quotation from Oliver Markus Malloy

Fascist dictators don’t announce that they’re fascist dictators.
They announce that it’s illegal to be anti-fascist.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/117338693898076310

cannot repeat this enough:

#misogyny and the normalization of #rape is one of the markers ―if not the most important marker― of #fascism.

indifference to rape, the most cruel act of violence, is a complete abdication of empathy.

without empathy, corruption is law. in a world led by indifference to suffering, fascists can use racism, ableism, xenophobia, pedophilia, bestiality, ecocide, hate to thrive.

that’s why fascists need corruption to survive.

and why cruelty is the point of fascism.

#vote

especially you american assholes

#fascism doesn't want you to vote

and, in your mindless #cynicism and loser #perfectionism, you give them exactly what they want

why?

fucking pathetic

of course you don't *only* vote

because this is a war, and a vote is just one small tactic on one small battlefield

but to ignore something so easy is just unfathomably stupid

because you think a vote is some holy thing that reflects on your soul?

😂

that's SO DUMB

it's just tactics

BleepingComputer: Microsoft adds age-awareness APIs that can tell if users are children, teens, or adults

"...Microsoft is adding new age-awareness APIs to Windows 11 that will allow apps to determine whether someone is a child, teenager, or adult without exposing their exact date of birth.

The new Windows Age API uses information associated with a Microsoft account and can return age ranges such as under 10, 10-12, 13-15, 16-17, and 18+....Microsoft also wants you to verify your age once..."

The Autistici/Inventati collective is shutting down and will soon discontinue all of their services:

'In a world where allegations are disconnected from reality, we can only expect repression to be increasingly disproportionate. Under these circumstances, we are no longer able to maintain our original mission - offering secure and non-commercial digital tools.'

@elala

to me, any sort of big economic downturn (such as the upcoming AI bubble burst or the much bigger much worse climate collapse) is just fertile mountains of anger to fuel more fascism

the problem is simple

when faced with suffering, even suffering *created* by fascists, people are angry and stupid and can be shaped by all the usual easy lies

the most potent feature of #fascism is anger and frustration never married with intelligence

TAKE YOUR BALLOTS TO A DROP BOX THIS NOVEMBER.

Don't use a mailbox. Use a ballot drop box, because the US postal service is _already_ fucking with ballots.

This is not a guess, theory, or extrapolation, this is an _observed fact_. Here's the Thurston County auditor talking about postal service fuckery during the primary, and some of the steps they're taking to get around it:

https://www.thurstoncountywa.gov/news/we-are-still-getting-ballots-should-have-counted-primary

Imagine express mail taking 19 days to deliver to the _next county over_. Literally behaviour they've never seen before. That's they kind of fuckery they're seeing.

Take your ballot to a BALLOT DROP BOX, not a mailbox.

#usps #election #elections #seattle #cascadia #2026midterms #midterms2026 #fascism #FuckTrump #FuckTheGOP #FuckFascism

Alt...

The Problem with Mail Delivery By law, we must certify the election by a specific deadline. For the primary, that date was August 18, 2026, two weeks after Election Day. Any ballot that arrives after this date cannot be counted, even if it was mailed on time. We are seeing two main problems with the post office: * Slow Mail: Many people mailed their ballots well before Election Day, but the ballots sat in post office sorting centers for weeks. In one case, a ballot was mailed in late July but didn't reach our office until after the August 18 deadline. It took 19 days to arrive, so it could not be counted. * Ballots sent Between Counties: In Washington State, you can drop your ballot into any official drop box in the state. Other counties collect those ballots and mail them back to us using USPS Priority Mail. In the past, this worked well. But this year, mail sent on August 5 didn't reach us until August 24, six days after the deadline. So far, our office has received 70 valid ballots that arrived after the certification deadline. This has never happened before, and it means those votes could not be counted. One ballot took 19 days to reach us. What We Are Doing for November No voter should lose their vote when they’ve followed every rule. To fix this for the November election, we will no longer rely on the post office to send ballots between counties. Instead, our team will personally drive to neighboring counties to pick up and hand-deliver these ballots ourselves. Even though this costs extra money and time, it is necessary to make sure every vote counts.

What if I were to tell you that Trump could knock any (or all) of over 20 million¹ European web sites off the Web tomorrow by picking up the phone to one US organisation: Let’s Encrypt.

While it was only a matter of time, this is still a very bad development.

«An internet troll on the Pentagon’s payroll has made a database to track Americans based on their political affiliation. …

The release of the evidently government-funded DSA Explorer comes amid a broader effort to label left-wing activists and organizers as domestic terrorists.

Source: https://www.rsn.org/001/a-hegseth-employee-created-a-database-to-track-americans-based-on-their-political-affiliation.html

I'm just not sure a disclaimer and request to be careful is going to hold back people who are determined to make an inference that itself is bogus on its face and is likely in search of any flimsy justification.

The EU has a narrow window in which it can come out – in word and deed – as unapologetically anti-fascist and, in no uncertain terms, make it clear that we will not kowtow to a fascist US.

There will be repercussions but I fear the alternative will be far, far worse.

Are you listening, @EUCommission? We’re not just talking about Euros and cents here. Can you understand what’s truly at stake?

#US #fascism #EU #antifascism #humanRights #democracy

One US company – Digital Identity, Inc. – controls 271 TLDs (~42% of all TLDs).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_Digital

This is fine.

It’s not.

And that’s why the Small Web will be using Web Numbers.

https://ar.al/2025/06/25/web-numbers/

And you should seriously be thinking about this and at least have a contingency plan given what happened this week with the fascist US government designating Autistici/Inventati – an anti-fascist Italian .org providing internet support to activists – as terrorists, sanctioning them, and knocking them off the Internet.

https://www.telesurenglish.net/u-s-designates-palestine-action-masar-badil-and-autistici-inventati-as-terrorist-groups/

If you’re serious about sovereignty, @EUCommission, you should be at DEFCON 1. And if your sovereignty plans don’t include decentralisation across the board, we are well and truly fucked.

This doesn’t just concern domains. If you’re an anti-fascist or anti-genocide org or group, the fascist US government can designate you a terrorist group and sanction you thereby cutting you off from banking, hosting, and almost all other infrastructure providers with zero due process in the EU.

@EUCommission Right, well, I’ve registered small-web.eu and small-tech.eu as backups for now.

Thankfully, with what I’ve built this year, the Small Web doesn’t need TLDs to work (see https://ar.al/2025/06/25/web-numbers/) but still, here’s hoping it doesn’t come to that because it will be a right hassle to move stuff over.

Buy, hey, better safe than sorry.

And I’m definitely reconsidering my choices when it comes to payment services/merchant of record for Catalyst (the free/open Small Web hosting app I’m building).

ICE plans to spend $20 million tax payer dollars to give gloves that deliver electric shocks to their agents.

They’ve murdered three US citizens.

They’ve killed countless immigrants.

They’ve used excessive force to demean, terrorize, disable & harm.

They’ve traumatized entire cities.

They’ve forced people to hide in their homes for fear of being rounded up and disappeared.

They don’t need gloves that can deliver electric shocks, they need to be abolished and prosecuted.

They need to be stopped.

ABC News headline promoting Trump's "Patriot Games"

This is a massive win. If we can prevent fascist voter suppression and intimidation from happening, we stand a chance of turning things around in a few months.

“The bill failed with only 52 Republicans voting for it, well short of the 60-vote threshold needed…Some Republicans wanted the Senate to bypass recess until the SAVE America Act was passed, but there wasn’t enough support among their party for that either.”

To be clear, I believe that voting is a very small part of fighting fascism. But it is still one of the tools. If the system isn’t compromised, it adds great value.

“Jews are execrable insects with parasite-hijacked brains.”

– Gad Saad, Zionist, at the World Symposium Against Antizionism

Zionism is antisemitic and always has been antisemitic.

To conflate antizionism with antisemitism is, itself, antisemitic.

Zionism is fascism.

Antizionism is antifascism.

(Oh, does it matter that he was only talking about “the wrong kind of Jews” – those who oppose Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people – while denying that a Holocaust survivor couldn’t possibly be a Holocaust survivor because they do so? Yes, actually. It makes it even worse.)

“Rebranding rebellion is nothing new. Americans take it for granted that the war between the Confederate states and the Union was always called the Civil War, but it was not. During the war and in its aftermath, it was primarily called an “insurrection” or a “rebellion.” Its current name is a result of decades of lobbying by Confederate heritage groups and white Southerners committed to rejuvenating the South’s image and ignoring its treason and slaveholding.

As Mr. Trump and his allies try to whitewash the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, we should return to an older and far more accurate name for the Civil War. We should once again call it the Slaveholders’ Rebellion. If a country unquestioningly adopts language that obscures its bloodiest crimes to absolve their worst perpetrators, how can we expect successive generations to remember the new assaults on democracy without deploying equally forgiving language?”

The phrase of the day in the mainstream news media appears to be "center-left". Are you a democratic politician who takes lots of money from AIPAC and loyally votes to send billions of tax dollars to Israel to murder Palestinian children? Congratulations, you're "center-left"!

Do you collect tons of cash from the military industrial complex and vote for every war and military bill possible? Nice to meet a center-left patriot!

Have you been proud to raise your hand and vote to fund ICE and the DHS? You center-left types are SO attractive!

Did you seize control of Germany and start World War II? You may be center-left!

Seriously, it's like someone just sent out an email or something and ordered the media to call every right-wing Democrat "center-left". It's creepy!

SCMP: Fake ICE raids and kidnapping drills: how Chinese teens prepare for US college

As Trump’s toughening rules spark anxiety, Chinese parents pay for camps teaching how to survive being seized by gunmen or ‘hidden dangers’

"...The intruder blindfolded Lu, tied her hands and finally made her record a phone message for her parents – begging them to pay a ransom.

Except the scenario was not real.

It was just an instructor at a private summer camp, training Lu how to handle a kidnapping in case it happened for real when she started school in the US in two months...."

"As I’ve argued before, I think Haidt’s book has done exactly what Gray was afraid it might do – namely, it has played into and exacerbated a moral panic over smartphones and social media and their alleged impact on the emotional and psychological wellbeing of teenagers. The architect of the Australian social-media age-gating law, South Australian premier Peter Malinouskas, described in an interview how his wife had recommended Haidt’s Anxious Generation to him, and how after reading it he had resolved to take action. His wife “put the book down on her lap and turned to me and said you’ve really got to do something about this,” he said. “And then I stopped and thought about it and thought maybe we actually can.” So he introduced state-level legislation hoping it could win federal support. It did, and since then the UK has passed a new law it says was modeled on the Australian one (modeled so closely that it too offered virtually no evidence that such a law was necessary), and Canada is also considering one.

As a journalist who once worked for the Columbia Journalism Review, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that one of the biggest proponents of Jonathan Haidt’s views about cellphones and social media and their impact on the wellbeing of teenagers has been the media."

WaPo reports the POTUS is expected to make a televised address tonight in which he will argue that foreign intelligence threats have undermined the security of our elections -- and specifically the one he lost in 2020 -- and that this means the federal government should take over elections which are managed by each individual state. The president has tried to hold up every major recent action by Congress in order to cajole them into approving a new law that would require proof of citizenship and and ID to vote in this year's mid-term elections.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/07/14/trump-plans-prime-time-speech-2020-election-allegations/

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va) just issued a statement outlining the facts about the 2020 election and the current election infrastructure. I'm pasting part of it here because it's a good resource for anyone following along and for reporters who have to write about this unfortunate chapter in our nation's history. It's also a preemptive rebut to and probably a preview of what we'll hear from the president this evening.

"Foreign adversaries routinely seek to influence U.S. elections. They spread disinformation, amplify political divisions, intimidate voters, incite violence, and attempt to undermine Americans’ confidence in democratic institutions.

What foreign adversaries have not done, according to repeated public, unclassified assessments from the U.S. Intelligence Community, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the FBI, the Senate Intelligence Committee, and bipartisan state election officials, is alter vote totals, hack voting machines to change election outcomes, or compromise the integrity of the 2020 presidential election. The clearest pattern across recent elections is not successful vote manipulation – it is sustained influence operations, aided and abetted by domestic actors, designed to convince Americans that their elections cannot be trusted.

These facts matter because conspiracy theories about stolen elections cannot become a pretext for weakening our democratic system or stripping states and local election officials of their longstanding constitutional role in administering elections. The answer to foreign threats is to strengthen election security, support state and local officials, and combat foreign influence operations – not to “take over” or federalize election administration based on claims that have been repeatedly investigated and debunked.

Reporters have a unique responsibility at this moment. The press is the only profession expressly protected by the Constitution because the Founders understood that an informed public depends on a free and independent press willing to separate fact from fiction and hold those in power accountable. Regardless of the source seeking to amplify false narratives about American elections, journalists should approach extraordinary claims with the same rigor they would apply to any other allegation: demand credible evidence, consult the extensive public record, engage subject-matter experts with experience tracking foreign intelligence operations, and provide audiences with the full context of repeated findings from the Intelligence Community, federal cybersecurity officials, bipartisan state election administrators, audits, recounts, and the courts. Careful, evidence-based reporting is one of the strongest defenses against efforts to undermine confidence in American democracy. To that end, we have assembled the following reference guide to help reporters quickly evaluate some of the most common claims about election security against the extensive public record developed by the Intelligence Community, CISA, the FBI, bipartisan state election officials, audits, recounts, and the courts.

Claim: China interfered in the 2020 election to help Biden.

Facts: Under the leadership of then-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, the Intelligence Community assessed that China considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. By contrast, the IC assessed that Russia conducted influence operations aimed at denigrating Biden and supporting Trump, and that Iran conducted efforts to undercut Trump and sow division. The Intelligence Community, Department of Justice, and Department of Homeland Security all agree that there was no changing of votes or compromise of the integrity of election infrastructure in the 2020 election. Even the Minority View included in the public 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment – which assessed that China may have undertaken some modest influence operations – concurred with the overall IC assessment that there was “no information suggesting China tried to interfere with election processes.”

Claim: Venezuela, Dominion, or Smartmatic hacked voting machines.

Facts: In November 2020, President Trump’s own CISA, working alongside state and local election officials from both parties, declared the 2020 election “the most secure in American history.” CISA stated there was “no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” and highlighted the extensive safeguards built into U.S. elections, including paper records, audits, recounts, certification, and pre-election testing.

Claim: Georgia proves the machines were wrong.

Facts: Georgia’s post-election audit showed the opposite. Because the presidential margin was so close, the state conducted a full manual tally of all presidential paper ballots. The Georgia Secretary of State, a Republican, reported that the audit confirmed the original machine count accurately identified the winner, with differences within the expected range of human hand-counting error.

Claim: Foreign interference means votes were changed, or elections are illegitimate.

Facts: This claim conflates two different concepts. The IC has repeatedly warned that foreign adversaries conduct influence operations, including hack-and-leak operations, disinformation campaigns, and efforts to undermine confidence in U.S. democracy. But those assessments distinguish influence from interference such as alteration or manipulation of ballots, vote tabulation, or voter registration.

Claim: Foreign actors can easily flip a federal election.

Facts: Both the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) have said the decentralized nature of U.S. election infrastructure makes large-scale manipulation very difficult to carry out without detection through intelligence collection, audits, cybersecurity monitoring, and physical security controls. This assessment was reaffirmed by DOJ and DHS in a joint report on the 2020 U.S. Federal Elections – a report mandated by Executive Order 13848, which was signed by President Trump himself in 2018. Indeed, federal funding – much of which took place through appropriations bills under President Trump’s first term – helped shore up the security of state and local election systems in advance of the 2020 U.S. Federal Elections.

Claim: States cannot be trusted to administer elections.

Facts: The Founding Fathers thought otherwise, assigning the responsibility for election administration to states in the Constitution. As a result, elections are administered by more than 8,000 state and local jurisdictions, making centralized or outcoming-shaping fraud extraordinarily difficult. Election security relies on multiple independent safeguards – including but not limited to paper ballots or voter-verifiable paper records, bipartisan poll workers, post-election canvasses, audits, recounts where appropriate, and certification by state and local officials. The federal government’s role has historically been to provide intelligence, cybersecurity assistance, and voluntary best practices through agencies like CISA, the FBI, and ODNI (notably, resources the current administration has curtailed) – not to run or “take over” elections. A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee investigation recommended more support for state and local election officials, not replacing them with a federally controlled election system.

Claim: Dead people or non-citizens voted in large numbers, or there are more ballots than registered voters.

FACTS: These discrepancies are usually attributable to clerical or data issues, and while there are occasional isolated cases, multiple comprehensive studies have found that noncitizen voting is vanishingly rare. Notably, under President Trump’s influence, many GOP-led states have withdrawn from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) – the nationwide clearinghouse to assist states in improving the accuracy of voter rolls.

Claim: Mail-in ballots or ballot drop boxes are inherently insecure.

FACTS: CISA notes that states employ multiple, overlapping safeguards for mail-in and drop-box voting, including voter signature verification or other voter validation methods, ballot tracking, secure ballot handling and chain-of-custody procedures, ballot reconciliation, and post-election audits. The specific safeguards vary by state, but they are designed so that no single control is solely responsible for protecting election integrity. Importantly, mail-in voting has traditionally been a critical method of ensuring that military personnel can exercise their right to vote and has been commonplace in many states for over a decade.

The factual record is clear: Foreign adversaries try to influence Americans and undermine confidence in our elections, but unclassified government assessments and state audits have not shown that China, Venezuela, or any foreign actor hacked voting machines or changed vote totals in 2020. The real threat is not that Americans’ votes were secretly flipped; it is that foreign adversaries and domestic actors continue to spread false claims designed to make Americans doubt legitimate election results."

Army talk on fascism from 1946 and linked in post. FASCISM! Note For This Week's Discussion: Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis; (2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our democracy work.

Winston paused involuntarily. For perhaps two seconds he was back in the half-forgotten world of his childhood. Then a door banged, seeming to cut off the smell as abruptly as though it had been a sound." "He had lugged out a huge and fi lthy pipe which was already half full of charred tobacco. With the tobacco ration at 100 grammes a week it was seldom possible to fi ll a pipe to the top. Winston was smoking a Victory Cigarette which he held care- fully horizontal. The new ration did not start till tomorrow and he had only four cigarettes left."
