We did not fail to see it.
Fascism is now in the algorithms, the neural pathways, the social interactions. How did we fail to see all this? “We wanted to see Trump in terms of his absences, so that our way of seeing the world would go unchallenged,” Timothy Snyder writes.
What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?

We've got Bill Kristol saying abolish ICE and standing up for trans people, David Brooks quoting the communist manifesto, and Sen. Van Hollen forcing a dictator to give proof of life of a hostage in a death camp.
Meanwhile, Dems like Newsom are doing podcasts with fascists.
Make it make sense.

EVERY SCHOOL DHOULD BE DOING THIS!! Show why school matters to everyone!
Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu
Harvard University
Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

It's an exclusive MYSTERY SOLVED. Guardian Australia figured out why Trump thought Norfolk Island (pop 2,188) has a huge leather shoe export business and penguins on Heard and McDonald Islands are running a secret machinery factory deserving of trade tariffs www.theguardian.com/...
Not that Norfolk! Mislabelled shipments led to Trump tariffs on uninhabited islands and remote outposts with no US trade
Exclusive: Aquarium systems, Timberland boots and recycling plant parts were mislabelled as coming from remote Norfolk Island or Heard and McDonald islands

Has anyone yet rewritten Machiavelli's dedication to Lorenzo Medici as a call to the ambition of Democratic politicians?
We need to have read more Machiavelli, more Kafka, and more Vaclav Havel.
