Modern authoritarianism doesn’t typically come with banners on the arches or state police on every corner. I wrote about the slow descent of American democracy www.arcdigital.media/p/the-unbear...
The Unbearable Normality of Creeping Authoritarianism
The U.S. government is under attack from within, the Constitution isn't really in effect, but if you don't follow politics and aren't directly targeted, you might not notice

Reminder for today: The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering the event, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk.
