The Institutions Have Failed - We Are On Our Own

When Institutional Resistance Dies"Five stories that expose a brutal truth: institutional resistance to fascism in America is dead.Democrats just voted to hand Trump $901 billion for the military—then seven House Democrats joined Republicans to add even more funding for ICE, weeks after they killed Renee Good in Minnesota. The vote would have failed by one if they'd held the line. They didn't.Trump ordered the erasure of slavery exhibits from Philadelphia's President's House—the only federal site commemorating slavery at a founding-era location. Workers literally unscrewed panels from walls ahead of the 250th anniversary celebration.Project 2025's election subversion playbook is already being implemented. Experts warn Trump is preparing to steal the 2026 midterms using the same DOJ that's now calling filming ICE raids "domestic terrorism."But here's the hope: Minnesota organized a statewide general strike today. Hundreds of businesses closed. Labor unions, faith leaders, and community groups are conducting an economic blackout demanding ICE leave their state.And in a bizarre footnote to Trump's chaos: Las Vegas casinos are so desperate to recover from his destruction of Canadian tourism that three properties are accepting Canadian dollars at par—eating a 29% exchange rate loss.Congress failed. The courts failed. Business leaders failed. The executive branch is actively dismantling constitutional order.But Minnesota is showing us what real resistance looks like when institutions abandon us.Links and resources: ignition-news.substack.comSupport the show: buymeacoffee.com/rebelradio
