Truman creates the Civil Rights Commission in 1946, specifically in response to attacks on returning Black veterans, which leads to the desegregation of the military, which causes the Dixicrat split of 1948. That's the pattern for the next 30 yrs of US politics right there.

That apartheid state was basically dismantled within 20 years of World War II, and that had a lot to do with being against fascism and the experience of WWII.

This is classic activist history, where if you aren't socialist revolutionary, you're a de facto fascist.

I think it’s actually fine to say that Americans generally have shitty views on things but are not largely in favor of fascism

I’d invite German newspaper readers to reflect on the number of articles you’re seeing atm about a researcher on anti-fascism having to flee the US (I found 2) compared to the time a student thought the bánh mì was inauthentic.

Coalition for Spirituality & Public Life host a Eucharistic Procession from St. Eulalia in Maywood to the ICE Detention Center in Broadview where there will be prayer & Communion.

What's everyone reading this weekend? I'm shifting between 2 books, as usual - Lisette Marshall's twisty, fun romantasy The Death-Made Prince on my e-reader and @lollardfish.bsky.social & @profgabriele.com's mind-opening history book The Bright Ages in paperback. V different books but both so good!

Charlie Kirk was a religious extremist and an advocate for mass censorship of academics he hated.

But as a political organizer and creator of opportunities for his comrades, there's much that can be learned from what he did. @matthewboedy.bsky.social discusses on the latest Theory of Change

the current "scandal" in VA politics is pushed entirely by Repubs & breathlessly reported by media, when no evidence actual Dem/swing voters care

meanwhile, Republican LG candidate has Nazi gay porn scandal & Gov candidate thinks the sun doesn't exist when it goes down

Guys people can be pro-democracy and have very bad positions

The point is the fight against authoritarianism in all its forms. The house is on fire. Put out the fire.

You actually don’t have to hand it to Donald Trump. You don’t have to give him credit for anything. He’s a horrible human being who has never known a day of suffering in his life. Nor does he care an ounce about the suffering of anybody else. Hope that helps.

What is this from? This type of thing was reported earlier and then it turned out the Trump admin was lying about it

I just wouldn't give Trump credit. That's just how I decided I would operate in Trump II. Other people differ.
