They could have slow-boiled us into full fascism. Instead they turned up the heat so fast that Americans will wake up and jump out of the pot.

Hanging out in Detroit Metro airport trying to get back to DC before the storm and I’m struck by the absence of news. No TVs with news. No obvious current event periodicals in the so-called news stands.

Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.

I keep hearing political violence is never acceptable. These people were pardoned and are now called patriots and heroes by the right and the sitting president. Seems like they think it’s acceptable.

Watching the fascist rendition of Rumeysa Ozturk, I’m of course grieving that I live in a country that people can be black-bagged for their first amendment expression. But really gets me is that these evil thugs are imprisoning people for the crime of having empathy for their fellow humans in Gaza.
