1. There have been plenty of debates about whether or not Trump and his circle are fascists. In this column, I argue that the debate solves nothing. What we’re seeing is a reversion to the default state of politics in centralised societies: autocratic tyranny. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I want to take a moment to say thank you to all the firemen who are risking their lives to save others in these dire moments.

This is another horrific event caused by climate change.

People dressed as Nazis are Nazis this isn't a street performance of Sound of Music
“Police responded at 1:12 p.m. to a report that one of the people in the group sprayed pepper spray or mace at a passerby. Callers reported the group was using racial slurs at minorities on the street, shouting about Jewish people and white power and appeared to be armed, police dispatchers said.”
