RFK saying that “Blacks” have better immune systems and shouldn’t get the same vaccines as white people should be disqualifying. But we live in really dumb times.

THIS IS WHY I KEEP REPEATING:

All. Politics. Is. Local.

The minute a far-right activists appears in your town hall, school board, etc., they must be met with an extreme push back.

It's like roaches. You see one, there will surely soon be many, if you let them think they can thrive in your town.
Rightwing operatives start local, because they can use these places as what amounts to "practice rounds" for things to implement statewide then nationally.

They guage:

- What language works

- What tactics work

- what are the social nerve centers of this town

In order to repeat it elsewhere.
Yep. People need to understand that Christian Nationalists start with local institutions, then enter into state politics, then enter into national, everything building from "grassroots" first. They build a generational back bench that ensures their worldview out lives them.

A reminder: the GWBush Admin built a prison at Gitmo not because of its size or facilities, but on the theory that because it was not in the US, US laws would not apply, and because US didn't recognize Cuban sovereignty over it Cuban law didn't either. It's a stateless, lawless zone of impunity.

DNC leadership would rather work with fascists on the right than people on their left. It's proven time and time again.

Neo-Liberalism has failed and led directly to the rise of right wing facism across the globe.

But liberals will still sit there and blame leftists.

Don’t forget that you can call your Representatives directly. Input your location and they give you a list of your reps and scripts that you can utilize.

If you're going to write something that you WANT people to read but put it behind a paywall then you clearly aren't that concerned about people reading it.

It would help immensely if every news link I clicked on wasn’t buried under paywalls.

Few material things can provide perspective. This does for me.

Photo of Otto Frank, returning to his family’s hiding place. In 1944, an informant betrayed them and the family was sent to Auschwitz.

His wife (Edith) was murdered, his daughters (Margot & Anne) died of Typhus.

If y'all haven't caught on I'm going to annoy the shit out of y'all with examples on how democracy is being fought for and saved on the local level.

I want to unshackle y'all from the thinking that only the national horse race matters.
The GOP in Minnesota tried to steal a state house seat, with the house split evenly.

Lawsuits were filed, and it got kicked up to the state Supreme Court, who sided against the GOP.

Yesterday, ICE raided a business in New Jersey and detained both citizens and non-citizens — without a warrant. They even detained a U.S. military veteran.

Nobody is safe.
