#StateTerrorA brief guide for Americansby #TimothySnyderYesterday the president defied a #SCOTUS ruling to return a man who was mistakenly sent to a gulag in another country, celebrated the suffering of this innocent person, & spoke of sending Americans to foreign #ConcentrationCamps.This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, & it has to be identified as such to be stopped.#law #Trump #tyranny #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship https://snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

…language is very important. When the state carries out #criminal #terror against its own people, it calls them “criminals” or “terrorists.” During the 1930s, this was the normal practice. Looking back, we refer to #Stalin’s “Great Terror,” but at the time it was the Stalinists who controlled the language. Today in Berlin stands an important museum called "Topography of Terror"; during the era it documents, it was the Jews & the chosen enemies of the regime who were called "terrorists."#law

@Nonilex I think people who aren't immigrants think they are safe.ICE kidnaps people on the street. They never get due process. They never go to court. They aren't allowed to show identification -- they're just unceremoniously shoved into the back of a van. They don't have to get a warrant to do this even.You don't have to be an immigrant to be kidnapped and lose your freedom. Without due process you never get to prove you're a citizen and once shipped off they won't bring you back.

Yesterday in the White House, the Salvadoran president showed the way, referring to #KilmarAbregoGarcia as a "terrorist" without any basis whatsoever. The Americans treated him as a criminal, even though he was charged with no crime.The first part of controlling the #language is inverting the meaning: whatever the government does is good, because by definition…its victims are the "criminals" & the "terrorists."#law #Trump #tyranny #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #TimothySnyder

The second part is deterring the #press, or anyone else, from challenging the perversion by associating anyone who objects with crime & terror. This was the role #StephenMiller played when he said yesterday in the White House that reporters "want foreign terrorists in the country who kidnap women & children."#law #Trump #tyranny #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #TimothySnyder

The control of #language is necessary to undermine a legal or constitutional order. Our rule of #law begins w/notions such as the people & their rights. If politicians shift the framework to "criminals" & "terrorism," then they are shifting the purpose of the state.In the #UnitedStates, we are governed by a #Constitution. Basic to the Constitution is #HabeasCorpus, the notion that the government cannot seize your body without a legal justification for doing so.#Trump #tyranny #autocracy

If that does not hold, then nothing else does. If we have the law, then violence may not be committed by one person against another on the basis of namecalling or strong feelings. This applies to everyone, above all to the president, whose constitutional function is to enforce the laws.#law #Trump #tyranny #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #TimothySnyder

@Nonilex Of course it is the administration doing the kidnapping of women and children. These people are speaking fascism. It's a language.

@Nonilex The things being done by our government today are exactly the same as what the British empire was doing to us in 1775; things we used as justification to wage war against them for our freedom. I want a political party that will call out this basic truth, because right now, we don’t have one. #ActualTyranny

@OGjester Bernie Sanders & AOC have been going a pretty good job broadcasting the truth to the people.

@Nonilex Every day, I wake up hoping that this will be the day that they declare the Democratic Party dead and form a new, non-corporatist, non-neoliberal party. No one else is going to do it; they’re our only shot.

@Nonilex Those who predicted T's 2nd term would bear significant resemblances to W's 2nd term are on pretty solid footing so far...

@Nonilex Re last boost: the boosted article made me feel slightly sick and I cried at one point, but everyone, everyone should read it, lest they have to read worse down the line. I would like this to be as bad as it gets. Take your courage in both hands and read...prepare. Contact your congress officials, protest in your own countries.

@Nonilex You guys should be flipping and burning cars.Holding a witty sign up every 4 weeks isnt going to make fascism go away.
