On the question of whether competence is the appropriate response to fascism, I’d say at least partly it’s ‘an’ appropriate response. While there are quite a few factors at play in Germany—you know, laws against fascism and its emblems also help— but Angela Merkel might be a good example of that.

New! the @newrepublic.com's Sept issue features a great symposium "Trump vs. History," for which I asked the great @dblight.bsky.social to assemble colleagues to reflect on Trump's war on our history. We posted the first four (incl. David's) today; others coming soon! newrepublic.com/series/67/tr...

Always filling potholes the last administrations left behind instead of being able to hit the gas on the road to help people.

“California’s so-called sanctuary law does not apply to unauthorized immigrants convicted of serious crimes, and state prisons have handed over more than 9,000 people with those backgrounds to ICE since Gov. Gavin Newsom took office in 2019, state data show.”
