For me, it was 1984. I'll never forget the Marxist propaganda of "Red Dawn," a movie about brave Soviet soldiers fighting ruthless gang of evil American jocks led by Patrick Swayze & Jennifer Grey, who'd later switch sides to try to seduce us with filthy socialist undulations in "Dirty Dancing."

One of my employees was arrested this week while at the gym, & is now at the ICE detention center in Buffalo. He’s married to a U.S. citizen, has no criminal record, a clean driving record, & a Social Security number with work authorization. Fuck anyone who voted for this.

In 1798 the Federalists rallied behind the Alien and Sedition Acts--laws designed to punish journalists they deemed unfairly critical and deport immigrants they saw as a threat to the nation. The conservative media of its day built support for these laws by circulating batshit conspiracy theories.

Trump is eliminating Wilson Center, a stellar US foreign policy study establishment. Along with it goes the Kennan Institute - one of the best Russia study institutions. I was fortunate to be a Kennan Fellow in 2017. Such a loss
