Opposing fascism is a basic obligation in a free society (and even unfree societies can oppose fascism).

Labelling opposition to fascism "terrorism" is a clear marker of where you stand.

And as the article says, letting this frame stand means giving up effective tools to oppose rising fascism.

“The truth is that antifa groups have been responsible for some of the most prescient & impactful organizing countering the far-right during the last decade”

Amazing corrective to liberal punditry abt antifa from Matthew Whitley (& basically the thesis of my book) theintercept.com/2025/09/27/t...

What Liberals Get Wrong About Trump’s Executive Order on Antifa

Liberals dismiss antifa as just an idea. That opens up the activists, researchers, and organizers to a real risk of persecution.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

You gotta have a brain worm to think taking this angle with David bleeping Simon wouldn’t backfire

Juno Rylee Schultz @junoryleejournalism.com · 1d

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

The Bulwark's @jvl.bsky.social sounds the alarm after the Texas Guard arrives in Chicago.

via www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

This moment has elevated the crisis so that it is no longer just a conflict between the federal government and a state, but between two states. We now have armed soldiers from the state of Texas eagerly volunteered by their governor to impose the president’s will on the citizens of Illinois.

I don’t want to be alarmist, but this is an emergency.
