I sure hope Dick Durbin sticks to his guns and honors blue slips for these last few weeks.

Sustained mass protest is and has always been our only way out of this. I’m talking about tens of millions in the streets, sweeping general strikes, and so on. Every day we count on the Democratic Party to save us from fascism is a day we will slip further into fascism.

Welp.

Re: Feinstein: When you make America drag your warm corpse out of the Capitol then you open yourself up to people criticizing you for clinging to power, even while "the body's still warm."

The NYT’s framing implicitly suggests a conflict between equals. You’d never know that Russia’s military dwarfs Ukraine’s, or that Russia invaded Ukraine. Instead it’s just two equal sides attacking each other for reasons. They do this on purpose because they’re pro-fascism.

Never forget how fast the Democratic Congress passed an emergency spending bill to increase security at Supreme Court justices' homes after peaceful protests outside.

We stand on the precipice of fascism. The Republican Party is dead serious about one-party fascist rule, and the Democratic Party is dead serious about not really trying to stop them. Any chance we have of escaping fascism is entirely on us.
