A sobering and necessary read. The answer to their question--both my own answer and that of the NYT Editorial Board--is "Yes." The next question is what we, as a nation, are going to do about it.

When you're a Nazi, everybody to your left looks like a Communist. And, when you're a Nazi, everybody IS to your left.
Trump: "It looks like we're gonna have a Communist as the mayor of New York. But here's the good news -- he's gotta go through the White House. Everything goes through the White House. At least this White House it does."

Colbert rightfully called out a bribe… he was cancelled
Kimmel said that MAGA were working hard to say the Kirk shooter wasn’t one of them… he gets suspended

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

The details surrounding the abhorrent shooting of Charlie Kirk remain unclear, but what is crystal clear is that political violence is a cancer.
This violence must have no safe harbor and must be condemned in all its forms and in all corners.

Someone apparently has the CHRONOS gene. 🙂
I’ve been binge re-reading Rysa Walker’s Chronos books. Reading that many time travel books in a row already messes with my head.

Trump is drowning in the pool at Mar-a-Lago. You can either shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo or you can save him. Do you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

Unbelievable!
Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware.

The President of South Africa to Trump: “I’m sorry, I don’t have a plane to give you.”
I'm old enough to remember when Republicans were willing to impeach Nixon for his crimes and corruption.
