The fact that scholars of fascism and anti-fascism have been leaving the country -- now including Mark Bray fleeing death threats -- should be a huge wake up call to the American public. They more than anyone know the warning signs and the direction we seem to be headed.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Adventures in framing:

Headline presenting this as a real-world question. Rather than as another sign of deepening vortex of narcissistic delusion and detachment from reality.

Headline: Trump Has His Eyes on Nobel Prize. Will He Get It?

Important thread from Rep. Clyburn.

James E. Clyburn @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social · 18h

Many people have been asking why Obamacare/HealthCare.gov premiums will double on average next year.

Here's why: In 2021, Democrats voted to increase financial help for people buying health insurance through HealthCare.gov. In 2022, we extended this assistance through the end of 2025.

Former FBI Director James Comey's indictment is more than a case—it's a warning.

It’s the most obvious instance yet of targeting political opponents, while letting allies off the hook. 🧵

So, Tom Homan can straight accept a bag of $50K in cash from the FBI in a sting operation, have the investigation dismissed by this corrupt Justice Department, but all of Trump's critics somehow face indictments?

Cool, cool. Cool.

A desperate, weak Administration overplaying its hand.

Kristi Noem is complaining that ICE and Border Patrol agents have it really tough in Chicago because the restaurants won't let them use their bathrooms or serve them food.

But I thought Republicans loved free market capitalism? 😅

Don't mess with Chicago! ❤️✊🏽
