They've arrested a union leader, they're prosecuting a member of Congress, threatening to arrest a sitting governor of the nation's largest state, and deploying the military inside the country.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.

What we're seeing in real time is media corporations accommodating an increasingly authoritarian regime, whether they understand it or not.
If you can't plainly say they're corrupt and driven by hate, things they do openly that everyone knows, what's the point?

Grid city fun: Chicagoans of my parents’ generation memorized “the hundreds” for each east-west street to help them get around. Belmont is 3200N, etc. unsure whether that’s still common usage, but I’d guess cops and taxi drivers still know it
