True democratic renewal requires moving beyond the illusion of restoring a past that never fully existed and instead actively inventing a future through the creation of robust public infrastructures and grassroots organizing that fosters collective care and mutual reliance.

Pentagon readies fifteen hundred troops to possibly deploy to MN, and it’s understandably causing a stir, isn’t it? The immediate reaction seems to be a mix of shock, concern, and a whole lot of questions about what this means for the country. It’s hard not to recall past predictions about the potential for the military to be used against American citizens, and the echoes of those warnings now feel particularly loud. The idea that troops might be deployed within the US, potentially to quell unrest, certainly challenges the conventional understanding of the military’s role.

This administration is eroding democratic institutions, attacking civil rights, and violating international law, leading to a “moral calamity.” The author emphasizes the need for a “great reckoning,” including a moral inventory of Trump’s abuses, to counter this neofascist drift.
