One of the most harmful ideas perpetuated and normalized by groups like the ADL for decades has been the insistence that the Holocaust was unique, that it was the worst thing that had ever happened and that no villain in public life could ever be compared to the leaders of Nazi Germany. 🧵

I hate it when Americans say “This isn’t America” when horrible stuff happens. Yes it every much is! It’s not the America we want but progressives have to acknowledge how bad it is to be able to fix it. Tweaks won’t do!

No, it’s not incomprehensible. It’s entirely predictable when half the country elected fascists.

Being a billionaire in the United States feels basically identical whether you have $10B or $100B, but feels very different if you can sexually harass your au pair and she can quit and get a different job vs if she is desperate to keep her job and has to put up with it because the economy is shit.

This is exactly right. Who can trust the US ever again when a return to fascism is just an election away?

We have to consider the possibility that CBP is acting like this because this is how they’ve always wanted to act and the change isn’t Trump saying they should so much as there’s no longer anyone to tell them no.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

I've got a piece up at @liberalcurrents.com clarifying whether Trump is trying to install merely an authoritarian regime or a properly fascist one in the federal government. My conclusion: we're facing Actual Fascism. www.liberalcurrents.com/yes-its-fasc...

like i genuinely do not think people get that despite Dems + Mnuchin being the only reason CARES got passed, the credit just went to the president there is no political strategy that indicates giving Trump a get-out-of-jail-free card is a good idea, especially against his own caucus

This is truly one of those moments where the administration is directly challenging the judiciary’s power to do anything at all. It’s an important moment.

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

As much as I’d like America to suffer consequences for its choices, FIFA and the IOC have proven to be perfectly happy to have authoritarian, repressive countries host their events.

They are monumentally dumb but I can’t imagine they are dumb enough not to know this. I assume the plan is to outsource all of this so private contractors can make billions.

The intermingling of fascist paramilitary and propaganda groups with the federal government is a literal hallmark of fascism. Do with that information what you will and really sit with what it means that a stochastic terrorist is now essentially deputized by the state to do as she pleases.

This is a really dumb idea. You have to make Republicans own the pain they're causing, not take partial ownership of it yourself. There's no political upside here. If Republicans want to do this, give them your votes in exchange for massive concessions. Otherwise no.

I'd bet most Americans don't realize the six Nazi extermination camps during World War II also involved rendition to a foreign country. Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, Chełmno and Majdanek were all located in Poland. Not Germany. Important historical fact.

Raptors seemed to have great spirits too. Very animated bench, starters were all thrilled for the flotsam who ran up the score yesterday.

He couldn’t defend the rim, and when they put him in PnR he dropped so deep that 3s and midrange were wide open. It was weird that CHA had no chance with a guy who seemed like he could get an easy layup every time down the floor but there we were. Anyway, Mogbo triple double!

Haven’t gone to many Raptors games this year but went for the final home game last night and boy, what an object lesson in why immobile big men are so limited. Raps had no answer for Nurk. Unstoppable. 12-19 shooting. But he was a -23 in 25 minutes because CHA couldn’t stop anyone with him out there

Not all Canadians in the U.S. are the same. Wayne Gretzky wears a MAGA hat and polishes fascist boots at Mar A Lago. Meanwhile, my dude Neil Young is doing anti-Oligarchy rally this weekend with Bernie & AOC. I’m with Neil, duh. 🇨🇦✊🏻

Lots of talk in Canada about tariffs. But let’s remember the number one reason to end our relationship with the United States: it’s run by Nazis.

People keep saying "it's horrible that one man has the power to do this much damage" but he doesn't. It's not one man; the entire Republican Party has decided that they want us to be poorer so they can cosplay Archie Bunker.

Prices on basically everything haven't even doubled yet, and they will. This guy is more cooked than a crouton. I do wish Dems would understand this and start fighting instead of going on the most racist podcast they can find.

I'd add that the portrayal of Lee as a military genius is also completely dishonest. Lee was directly responsible for the strategic decision that lost the war for the Confederacy (1863 invasion of the north) and made that decision for dumb and foolish reasons.
