Fascism isn't politics. What happened yesterday was horrific, bon't let the proximity of yesterday's horror sane-wash a white supremacist who stoked racism, homophobia, misogyny, and white genocide panic, and advocated for a trans genocide. Or in the words of Warren Zevon, "Don't let us get stupid."

FASCIST PROPAGANDA @ NYT
This story elevates "Great Replacement Theory" without ever naming it. Also no mention of white supremacy, though every source for the piece was a person or org arranged around white genocide panic—anti-immigrant, anti-queer, anti-IVF, & pro-white women home having babies.

TRUMP CAN BARELY READ
Trump is learning disabled (as the cast of SNL saw at the table read when he was guest host). Watch tonight’s speech, and notice how he goes robotic, and sways side to side for comfort, whenever he's on the teleprompter, alternating with full bluster when he improvises.

Bezos is wrecking The Washington Post the way Musk wrecked Twitter. And like Musk, he doesn't care how many subscribers he's about to lose.

"STATES RIGHTS" IS HOW AMERICA DOES FASCISM
The idea that a person's civil rights in one state could differ from their civil rights in another is an idea as old as slavery.

Well here's a joyful crew. Baron looks like an alcoholic monk in an oil painting. Melania looks like she's auditioning for a wax museum version of Cabaret. Ivanka looks like she was raped by her father.
