Someday, I'd like to see a defense of witholding criticism of Democrats on the grounds that Republicans are fascists address the fact that most Democrats do not themselves believe most Republicans are fascists, would like to continue making policy in a bipartisan fashion, and say this regularly.

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

The same week the White House purged articles about Jackie Robinson from government websites after calling him DEI, the Dodgers say it will be a great honor to visit Trump next month after winning the World Series. Really, really gross stuff: www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

The Vice President is a long time adherent of a bunch of self described monarchists, neofascists, and race realists and the press has never showed it an ounce of interest. Maybe 1/20th of the voting public has any clue. If you want to learn about it you have to go to podcasts and independent outlets

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
