The first big fascist wave in Germany and Italy was driven by the humiliation and suffering of WW1. Our current wave of American fascism is largely driven by rich guys who want it to be illegal for you to laugh at them.
the fact that they saw Polanski as not being punished despite fleeing to France -- the fact that his social circle did not hold him accountable -- finally makes me understand why the elite media is insane about left activism at elite colleges: nothing anyone else can do to them matters.

"It’s hard not to read these files and come to the conclusion that Epstein helped engineer the ultimate elite impunity — in which our society has been totally destroyed so the richest and most powerful men in the world can do whatever they want."

POLITICO: “As Europe’s political class moves to clean up its mess and address its shame concerning ties with Epstein , it’s inadvertently highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in 🇺🇸- No prominent politicians have taken a fall.” www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

THIS. They’re in the South Metro now, hitting Carver County & Minneapolis suburbs HARD.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

They’re detaining observers because ICE & CBP believe the real problem is people filming them, not that ICE & CBP is committing domestic terror.

Less footage = less national news coverage.
By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Dozens of articles yesterday reported on Trump's rambling, profane remarks at National Prayer Breakfast. But I was only 1 to cover the more dangerous #ChristianNationalist remarks by Pete Hegseth: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/at-nationa...
At National Prayer Breakfast, Hegseth Says US Soldiers Gain Salvation by Dying for ‘Christian Nation’
While Trump's remarks dominate the headlines about the event, more concerning Christian Nationalist comments came a few minutes later.

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

Bringing natural consequence to people who have abused their power with barbarous corruption and lawless brutality and cruelty and murder is not an extreme position. It shouldn’t even be a position. It should be a given. It should be a requirement of holding office.

Sure, a wide array of American elites were palling around with a pedophile and eugenicist but did you know that a Pedro Pascal fan account on bluesky is being slightly hyperbolic when posting about it

This happens with*everything* now. No matter how grave the crime or one-dimensional the injustice, after four days the hivemind of American punditry decides that the Real Story is how the people upset about it are the real villains.

“I do not think that 50 year old men should be having sex with 16 year old girls. But “
This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.
