I know. I discuss that in the piece. There's more to history than headlines.
BREAKING: The latest version of the GOP’s “Save America Act” would require that all 50 states give our voter data to Trump’s DHS. Are we supposed to just “trust” that Trump’s people won’t then give our data to Palantir (Peter Thiel)? Call your Senators: 202-224-3121 #NoOnSave #ProtectOurVotes

This is one reason fascist regimes always fail: They hire for loyalty, not for competence. The resistance outnumbers them. It outperforms them. And it always defeats fascism in the end.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Write a bill to restore FEMA's independence! We should not have to fund DHS to fund FEMA. DHS was established in 2002 and FEMA was moved there in 2003, but Carter established FEMA as an *independent agency*. Restore FEMA's independence!
FEMA wasn't moved to DHS until 2003. Carter established FEMA as an *independent agency*. We should not have to find murderous thugs in order to fund FEMA.
When you call your Senators and tell them to vote no on the DHS appropriations bill, tell them you want a bill to restore FEMA's independence.
In honor of New Year's Day 😂

A solid 75% of what ICE does now is illegal but the rule of law only matters if there are consequences. The Trump Administration defies court orders and breaks the law all day every day and there are zero consequences.
Um I'm a Jewish woman and I dislike her because she's trash. Yeah, there's an assload of antisemitism everywhere but Bari also just sucks and is OBJECTIVELY unqualified for that position.
So basically just assume that any redacted name is Donald Trump.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
When she was 5? 20 days before Roland Barthes died?
