I agree it's sad (maybe I'd use a stronger word than sad), but the grease was out long before now. Most of these people work for billionaires whose agendas do not include any amendments at all, and their unwillingness, for FOUR YEARS, to call #45 a liar was all the warning you needed. 🧵

The administration is trying to destroy free speech and freedom of the press. The White House Correspondents Association does not want to offend them while they're doing it. Sad days when journalists are the ones greasing the slippery slope to fascism.

It's also interesting that while the majority of the country either actually voted for #47, or didn't vote at all, now journalists are being asked to lie down on the tracks 🧵
This isn't the start of the slippery slope - people who've been mocked for years have been pointing at the early signs of fascism. This isn't the start, the slope is just getting steeper.
