I've been watching The Sound of Music.
A sweet bit of innocent escapism? No way!
A movie where everyone fully understands the horror of fascism & fights it absolutely in words, deeds & song.
Defeating Nazis with Julie Andrews? I'm so there.
These are a few of my favorite things.

The repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 was one of the consequential decisions for modern America. It unleashed the hateful, right-wing disinformation echo chamber on the radio. It allowed for the rise of Rush Limbaugh & so many toxic conservative personalities. Here we are.

It's pretty notable to me that it's the US branch of the Guardian publishing this. Most of the other big national papers have been notable in their refusal to acknowledge the president's visible senility
‘He has trouble completing a thought’: bizarre public appearances again cast doubt on Trump’s mental acuity
Joe Biden was hounded for his age-related gaffes, but Trump’s increasingly strange behavior has largely been ignored

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

If you had important information for voters, and kept it to yourself to sell books after it was too late, you’re not a hero. You’re an asshole.

"Biden was old but governed normally. Trump governs erratically *because* he’s unglued. That’s the true cover-up, one the media is enabling when they seem more concerned with the mental condition of a former president than the escalating madness of the current one."
The real cover-up is of Trump's disordered mental state

Great piece on Musk’s drug use in NYT, now do Trump. I promise you Elon isn’t the only one on Adderall in the White House. Follow up at their joint presser with a question about last Trump term’s WH Pharmacy and his drug chronic addiction. Ask about Doc Ronnie, I dare you, MSM.

The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Don’t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillary’s emails. Make it a thing.

Trump cannot be given a state visit to the UK. It should never have been offered. The invitation must now be withdrawn. You might as well hand it to Putin.
