Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.
This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

How about we have party leaders focus on the words of a United States congressman - Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama - who’s calling Black people “inner city rats” who leach off of America’s taxpayers.
Stop the focus on municipal elections and get to this.
Where is the censure and condemnation?

okay Andrew now let's try "can you tell us why you left your last job?"
Cuomo acted out a mock job interview between Mamdani and a recruiter.
“‘Hello, I’m applying for the job of the mayor of the City of New York.’ ‘OK, do you have management experience?’ ‘No.’ ‘Have you managed 100 people before?’ ‘No.’"

Academics & others need to understand a few things.
A 🧵
I) First, fascism is not inevitable.
Research on autocratic movements show that only about 3,5% of the population need to resist to stop them.
Fascism thrives on the silence of the friends.
That why visible resistance matters.

In addition to going through the website, I strongly encourage people to read the letter from Harvard's President, Dr. Garber.
We need more scientific institutions to show this level of courage, no matter the risk. In fact, we need *all* institutions to stand up*.

what replaces due process under fascism is the assurance of protection for favored groups. even though it’s precarious, a lot of people feel just as protected under that framework as they do under one with due process
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
