A note for my fellow fascism fighters: We can criticize the people on the other side. We can even punch them in the face when needed. But let's not call them animals or subhuman, even as a joke or hyperbole.
Dehumanization got us into this mess. It won’t get us out.

Trump is urging GOP lawmakers to defund PBS "immediately".
He's not the first right-wing crook to wage war on public broadcasting.
Here's what national treasure Fred Rogers told Congress in 1969 when Richard Nixon tried to gut PBS.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.

Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.
Please don't tell me we can't do the same.
