Screenshot of an Atlantic article: Head: Yes, It's Fascism Subhead: Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

As the past 24 hours have demonstrated, these people lie constantly, including in court filings, so the charges they filed regarding the earlier incident are not a trustworthy source of information for what actually happened
Munoz put the vehicle in drive and accelerated onto the curb, the charges said. Ross was dragged alongside the vehicle and twice fired his Taser as Munoz weaved back and forth “in an apparent attempt to shake” him from the car. About 300 feet down the road, Munoz re-entered the street and the force knocked the officer from the car.

Tribune opinion page is so obnoxious that even when they write something I agree with, the bad writing makes me reconsider my position
Text: In what surely must have been the most ill-timed letter to season ticket holders in the history of ill-timed letters to season ticket holders, the president of the organization kindly informed us all that the team was not just playing Chicago and Arlington Heights against one another, as we have thought all these months, but also now seriously considering an additional wild card, making it a menage a trois. Text: Indiana officials did their job and used the Bears’ December folly to praise their own pro-business climate and exude excitement, but underneath all those quotes about doing whatever it takes to land the Bears for Indiana, a careful reader could detect a note of cynicism. Even the Hoosiers didn’t fully believe this was genuine; Garyland has been a bridesmaid too many times for that.

“Allegedly” is one of the most powerful words in the English language. Sometimes it means “we all know what follows is true but we don’t want to get sued.” as in: Trump has allegedly abused at least 28 women

And sometimes it means “what follows is a huge lie but we’re not allowed to use that word”
Lede of a story from the Chicago Tribune: A federal judge on Thursday dismissed charges against a woman shot by a Border Patrol agent after she allegedly rammed his vehicle in Brighton Park last month, marking a striking conclusion to one of the most controversial cases to emerge from Operation Midway Blitz.

this works actually
Text: One of the most notable aspects of Trump's political success is that voters know what they're getting. The fascist politician was born into a life of wealth and privilege, and from that perch he adopted a worldview centered around destroying the society that made his adopted country thrive
