The first big fascist wave in Germany and Italy was driven by the humiliation and suffering of WW1. Our current wave of American fascism is largely driven by rich guys who want it to be illegal for you to laugh at them.
the fact that they saw Polanski as not being punished despite fleeing to France -- the fact that his social circle did not hold him accountable -- finally makes me understand why the elite media is insane about left activism at elite colleges: nothing anyone else can do to them matters.

Traditional Family Values types are sort of like libertarians

periodically you meet one who is Actually Serious about their principles and they’re always deeply confused that their supposed fellow travelers are lying grifters
odd feature of our time in how many liberals and progressive are bog standard monogamous family types--Serwer, Bouie, Hayes, AOC, etc--and how many Traditional Family Values conservatives are fuckin drugged up perverts

Our message to our immigrant and refugee communities is unequivocal: We stand with you. You belong here. Our message to the Trump administration is equally clear: Current practices must change immediately.

And if you aren’t Jewish, and you see it, I guess I kinda would like you to say something.

But don’t tag me.
Here's a basic fact: most conspiracy theories tend towards antisemitism. Yes, that one. Mmm hmm, even that seemingly harmless one.

Flat Earthers? Moon Landing Truthers? Antisemitism. Q-Anon? 9/11 Inside Job? Antisemitism.

You know one of the stories that has kind of blown my mind is Haven Watch. Some lady realized people who got released from the Whipple were just dumped outside with no phone or coat and decided she could do something about this, like a month ago.

But there are a ton of similar stories.
if everyone could take on the “what if we just did the thing instead of waiting for it to happen” energy that much of minneapolis has right now, the world could be pretty good

If folks in other parts of the country are preparing for ICe Surge, part of the fabric of response has to include anti-fascist tow truck drivers.

Something that I think is important to note is that this is the Canadian broadcast. Here in the US NBC muted the boos like some WWE shit.

Fellow USians we are one of the most propagandized and lied to populations in the world. We always need to look outside of our media sources at this point.
NEW: Huge cheers earlier for the Ukrainian athletes at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony.

Then huge BOOS as JD Vance comes on the big screen in the stadium.

2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

anyway the reason the adult has to be the one that draws the boundary is that the kid can’t do it if they don’t believe they’re still a kid. at 16 we are SO desperate to be treated like an adult and we want to believe that’s what we are. we will crash through any boundary that’s not steel-reinforced

when i was a 16yo girl i thought i was an adult. coaching 12-17yo girls as a 28yo really hammered home how much i was wrong about being an adult at 16 and how obvious it is to actual adults that a 16yo is not an adult. if they say they cannot tell they are lying because they are a creep.
