An excellent, terrifying assessment of our long drift toward fascism (that actually started after WWII, when the CIA retained Nazi butcher Klaus Barbie to terrorize Central and South American countries whose trade unions might be "communists.")

We are all under the gun now, for Trump and his Republikan cronies do not distinguish between "opponents" and "enemies." And with the universal surveillance they now have, no one is safe from a midnight knock on the door.

So what do we do now? First, download Gene Sharp's excellent manual on nonviolent resistance, "From Dictatorship to Democracy."

Then, together with others, follow his instructions and suggestions, and plan acts of collective, nonviolent defiance of evil. Speak truth to power while we still can, and RESIST!
