Yeeup. But nationalism is completely left out when centrists — including the vast majority of mainstream media — discuss fascism, so the majority of US-ians who think they're "anti-fascist" don't even know what the basics of fascism are, and actually support some of the fundamentals. 😞

OK, but...we're not in an abstract thought exercise where we're considering laws and policies as if they exist in a vacuum. We are not in a law school case study. This blithe, almost contemptuous dismissal of a Supreme Court Justice who actually understands the situation is peak Pundit Brain.

My latest for @aljazeera.com: "A country with a history of violence, elitism, and narcissism like the US – and an individual like Trump – cannot divorce themselves from their own violent DNA, a violence that could one day consume this nation-state." #Iran #ICE www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

When the post reconstruction court gutted newly established civil rights in the late 1800's, it took over sixty years to overturn those decisions and undo the damage. It'll likely take a similar timeframe to undo the damage this court has wrought and many of us won't live to see that day.

Justice Thomas being such a porn addict and then writing the decision in the first major porn case in years will never not be funny to me. Dude is a complete gooner through and through.

The suffering this campaign of terror has created is incalculable, but so is the suffering we could have alleviated. Of those that survived, so many of us developed drug habits and crippling depression, total alienation from ourselves and others. It is true evil to impose that on another generation.
