In my world, there's a certain reluctance to being merely, or in a knee-jerk way, a resist lib. That's understandable, even commendable. On the other hand, let's be clear: It's a hell of lot better, morally and intellectually and politically, to be a resist lib than a Vichy conservative.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

More people are going to be murdered by ICE. It’s clear. The tactics ensure it, ICE is getting more furious and being disagreed with or resisted in any way, the verminous administration supports them and has shown they will tell any lie to support ICE murdering people.

The American people need health care, not Greenland! Invading or buying Greenland is a giant waste of money. It's a Trump vanity project, just like the White House ballroom. Trying to do so could also blow up NATO. Stop this nonsense.

The ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits are at the center of the ongoing government shutdown. The tax credits have led to a more than doubling of Marketplace enrollment, but they'll expire at end of this year if Congress doesn’t act to extend them.

Okay. Let me try this another way, and see if that works.
I was a boy with relatives in Greece during the time of the Colonels, a pretty scary military junta. Some would say it was fascist: Militarism, anti-communism, nostalgia, etc.
But no.

We’re going to learn one day that this was like Trump thinking “political asylum” involves the mentally ill but he heard “war cabinet” and thought kitchen cabinets were part of national defense
The administration’s fight with Home Depot has escalated from the initial raids by the crack ICE agents in Sealant Team 6 to a full blown economic war.
