On the streets in Italy they know what a fascist sellout looks like.

In Europe Donald Trump's sell out of Ukraine is a gift to Putin and an outrage everywhere else.

I knew I'd seen Bovino before.

Trump is fabricating a crisis that could end American democracy. If he succeeds, our streets will be militarized, and our courts will become places for political show trials. That’s why what’s happening in Chicago matters to everyone.
