Between Trump’s imbecilic Department of War twaddle and RFK Jr’s lies during Senate testimony this was a deeply embarrassing day to be an American. We’re all paying the price because minimally informed voters gave the worst imaginable people power to do great harm www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/u...

The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize.

“What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”
