“We are not this!” “Uh, buddy, have you ever read any history books?” We may not *want* to be this, but if we don’t acknowledge the fascist/authoritarian/racist/reactionary roots that go all the way down to the bedrock of this country, we have no hope of ever eradicating them. /obvious point

This is now the official manifesto of my Dems Stand For Something Challenge (currently stuck at Day # ∞). Read the whole thing - very powerful stuff. But below are couple of tl;dr quotes to get you started….

The end of this review about the guy who founded the Barnes Foundation (originally) outside Philly ends on a really weird note, eliding the fact that the move to Center City wasn’t just over the objections of “Barnesians” - it broke the explicit terms of the trust that established the Foundation.

There’s a couple of all-timers in this thread, but this one belongs in a museum.

New from me. I want to talk about the $155 billion Republicans want to give Trump to turn the United States into a Concentration Camp Nation. And why we must never buy into the lie that Americans want this.

The framewashing never ends.

“What’s it going to take for people to wake up and pay attention - riot squads shooting at civilians in the streets?”

Oh, and by the way, abolish ICE.
