Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Should you be fighting fascism here in the US? Yes, you should!
Are you the one who decides how best you can do that? Yes, you are!
Should the people who decide that you're not doing it right (i.e., the way they want you to) fuck off into the sun? Yes, they should!

If you’re willing to subject a marginalized person to bigotry because they’re “one of the bad ones” and therefore you feel it’s “deserved”, you’re just a bigot, full stop.
