Fascism is sociopathy writ large. It represents the quest for power without regard to human life. This means fascism cannot be negotiated with, voted out, or appeased. Fascism must be defeated.
In the last few months, seemingly separate moves are really part of the same plan — a fascist takeover of the world by psychopathic white men who want to remake the world in their image.
Putin’s genocidal assault on Ukraine, overturning Roe v Wade, and Elon Musk’s hostile takeover of Twitter are all part of the same coordinated war on global liberal democracy. The fate of the world depends on our collective ability to see it in time to stop it.
We have six liars on the Court who intentionally deceived their way onto the bench as sleeper agents in order to eliminate our rights. Each of them lied to the American people and to Congress about their intentions. They should be impeached and removed. They are not “conservatives,” they are fascists.
If this sounds “extreme” to you, consider how extreme what they’re doing is.
Each of these Justices committed hundreds of lies to Congress about stare decisis during confirmation hearings while they knew they were going to overturn Roe. This decision is nothing short of mass murder of women. It is misogynistic genocide.
Women are going to die because of this by the thousands starting in June. This is not going to prevent abortion — as these SCOTUS liars well know. It’s just going to drive it underground, and turn a normal medical procedure into a traumatic CRIME.
At the same time, totalitarian mass-murderer Vladimir Putin is decimating Ukraine, which has been enabled by white male fascists on the right wing for decades. Paul Manafort, Rudy Giuliani, Ron and Rand Paul, Donald Trump, Mike Flynn and many, many others have knowingly set the stage for a second Holocaust in Europe.
Now Elon Musk, a psychopath with $300 billion, is actively turning “the town square” into 8chan. He will return the Cult and its leaders to Twitter, exposing hundreds of millions of people to his racist, misogynistic worldview ahead of the 2022 elections. Elon Musk wants to drive us collectively insane because he thinks he knows better than anyone else what planet we should live on.
Our situation in America is more dire than in WWII. Much more.
WWIII is already here. On our shores, in our Court, controlling our communication platforms and destroying our Constitutional rights.
We no longer have a functioning government because at least a third of it — the Judicial Branch — is part of the fifth column. And one of the two parties in our two-party system is a theocratic, fascist death cult.
We are at war and it’s time for us to admit it and win it. 🇺🇸🇺🇦🏴☠️

Jim, you have hit it out of the stadium. Homerun!! Could not agree more.
Next step, what can we do about it???
So well said and sadly should be shouted from the rooftops but won't be for well-known reasons. Too many people not on the fascist right and egged on by corporate media spend way too much time looking for that ray of hope or that Dem candidate that can "turn this thing around" or some obscene glaring event to be "be a wakeup call to voters on the right." Until we can convince a substantial portion of the electorate that we are actually in the dire situation we are in, we are heading toward disaster. All I get from people is calls to "stop being so negative", as if the power of positive thinking is going to save democracy from the forces of fascism. Or like Pelosi's well worn solution to right wing bullying , "I'll pray for you." I'm sure you hear the same thing. Anyway, great piece.
