BREAKING: WAKE UP! A renowned historian of fascism sounds the alarm about Pete Hegseth's disgusting announcement that the U.S. will now hold public executions. We can't afford to ignore this... "Historian of fascism here. This is an escalation of an attempt to normalize extreme violence, ritualize violence, militarize the country, and make violence entertaining so when they ask you to commit violence in their name, you will be ready," historian, professor, and author Ruth Ben-Ghiat wrote on X. She was replying to a post from Republican Amanda Carpenter, a former senior communications advisor and speechwriter for Ted Cruz— "Trump & Hegseth aren't just proposing to livestream an execution for people who want to watch," wrote Carpenter. "They're proposing to broadcast a man being shot to death, even if deserved by our system, and even if you agree with this version of the death penalty, knowing that the footage will be clipped, shared, and pushed into social media feeds. Including those of our children." "The gruesome image will be everywhere," she added. "Parents will have virtually no control over whether their kids see it. Once those images are released, there is no taking them back. Hope all the parents in the Trump Admin are cool with that." Both of these women are correct and Ben-Ghiat's observation is particularly disturbing. The public execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan worries us not because we have some deep well of sympathy for a man who killed 13 people and injured 34 others, but because of what it will do to our nation. Hegseth and Trump want us to grow used to death as public spectacle and once that happens, who can say what will come next? Is it really so farfetched to think that they might push for executing political enemies in the not-so-distant future? Trump has already displayed a lawless willingness to weaponize and politicize the Justice Department. Sham prosecutions could lead to sham convictions which could lead to real executions. This public killing is fascist to its core. America has to be better than this. Please ❤️ and share if you staunchly oppose this execution!

BREAKING: Trump throws a furious Truth Social tantrum over CNN “REFUSING” to cover Xi’s White House arrival – after HE BANNED THEM FROM THE WHITE HOUSE! This afternoon, Donald Trump felt the need to complain about CNN. But first, he needed to remind everyone of a few things that we may have possibly forgotten. He won the election in a “GIANT LANDSLIDE.” He won all seven swing states. He won the popular vote. He won 86 percent of the counties. His popularity has grown. America is enjoying “unprecedented SUCCESS.” And CNN's ratings are terrible because CNN keeps writing “badly” about him. Having gotten all of that off his chest, Trump finally arrived at his grievance: CNN had “refused to cover” Chinese President Xi Jinping's arrival at the White House because the ceremony was so “magnificent” that CNN couldn't bear to give “TRUMP” the credit. There was just one rather large hole in Trump's story: CNN had spent the morning TRYING to get into the White House and failing. After a federal judge ordered the administration to restore access to CNN, MS NOW and POLITIC, CNN’s Betsy Klein made repeated attempts. She and other journalists were initially turned away, and CNN reported that its request to cover Xi's arrival had been denied by the White House. The five major television networks also withheld their shared pool camera in solidarity with CNN. The three outlets were finally allowed back onto White House grounds around midday. So by 3:50 p.m., Trump was furiously accusing CNN of refusing to attend an event that his own White House had refused to let CNN attend. And just to make sure everyone knew who had written this presidential communiqué, he signed it: “President DONALD J. TRUMP Yes, we know who you are, and you embarrass us. If Trump embarrasses you too, like and share this post.
