“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

Our political leaders & media voices must choose. Either use this latest act of political violence to further divide & inflame the American people or de-escalate. Either be partisan or speak the truth that NEITHER side has a monopoly on political violence & ALL sides must stop engaging in violence.

USAID didn’t fail. It fed 127,000 kids—then was erased mid-crisis. No speech. No tribute. Just silence. They didn’t end a program. They liquidated a covenant. The last American promise not built on conquest—but care.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

Senator Lisa Murkowski just said that she and her colleagues are afraid & anxious because retaliation from the president is real. This is not normal or right. Our leader is a tyrant, but the same people who are scared, are the ones who could actually stop him.

It’s a poll tax. Because if your current name is not your birth name (like is the case for tens of millions of American women who are married), you need either your original birth certificate with your current name (good luck w/that) or a passport. Which costs money.

Before the Nazis, German universities were among the best in the world. Step by step, the universities gave up their independence until they were instruments of the state.
