Just realized how bitterly ironic it is that Trump was so eager to point the finger at “fake news!” during his first term, only to completely buy into it in his second.

BBC interviewer: Is there a fundamental flaw in American politics?
Me: Absolutely. The US is operating political parties software on institutional hardware that assumes parties don't exist because checks and balances will prevent tyranny. That turns out to be wrong.

The first thing everyone in this country who is anti-fascist can do now is to join something where people are already gathering to address any issue. Can't find anything you want to join, then make your own thing and invite people to join you. This is not a time for Lone Rangers.
