An alliance between the far right and Silicon Valley oligarchs has given rise to a form of “end times fascism,” says journalist Naomi Klein, who details in a recent essay co-authored with Astra Taylor how many wealthy elites are preparing for the end of the world even as they contribute to growing inequality, political instability and the climate crisis. Klein says that while billionaires dream of escaping to bunkered enclaves or even to space, President Donald Trump and other right-wing leaders are turning their countries into militarized fortress states to keep out immigrants from abroad and ramp up authoritarian control domestically. “There’s always an apocalyptic quality to fascism, but fascism of the 1930s and ’40s had a horizon” for a utopian future, says Klein. Today, by contrast, “we’re up against people who are actively betting against the future — not just actively betting against it, but fueling the fires that are burning this world.”

The Justice Department is lifting a school desegregation order in Louisiana dating to the Civil Rights Movement, calling its continued existence a “historical wrong” and suggesting that others across the South should be eliminated. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said the Trump administration was “getting America refocused on our bright future” when it ended a 1966 legal agreement with Plaquemines Parish schools. Decades after the Supreme Court struck down racial segregation in America’s schools, more than 100 districts remain under court settlements governing how they must work toward integration. Known as consent decrees, the agreements can be lifted when districts demonstrate they have eliminated segregation and its vestiges.
