The fact that we are dealing with Nazis does not make people like Newsom, Emanuel, or the congressional Do Nothing Team the good guys. If we want a transformation that makes our current situation unthinkable, we have to be serious about who can deliver that kind of change.

We must demand better. Not Gavin Newsom, who snatches the belongings of unhoused folks and plays paddy cake with Steve Fucking Bannon. Not Rahm Emanuel, who covered up a murder, closed 50 schools, and shuttered half of Chicago's publicly funded mental health clinics. We need new and better politics.

Seeing a blatant fascist dismantling and takeover of the government and using it as an opportunity to mostly complain about the left or throw trans people under the bus means you're helping them. No other way to slice it.

Jean-Marie Le Pen, the French far right leader, died today.
If you wonder how many French people feel about that, these are the scenes of celebration on the streets of Paris this evening.
