Just heard about this citizens action event.
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse have released a PSA urging Congress to make the records public, produced by World Without Exploitation.
My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1
Breaking News: House Democrats released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew of the convicted sex offender's conduct and βspent hours at my houseβ with a victim.
It's driving me batty that nobody except Heather Cox Richardson, the Washington Monthly, and myself is covering Trump's race to sell off (for likely demolition) "the Sistine Chapel of the New Deal," w/ murals by Ben Shahn, Philip Guston, etc. I've furnish links below to help reporters get started.
Rep. Chellie Pingree was in Brunswick, Maine, when I arrived at the No Kings gathering.

Thank you for this reporting.
So Putin gets a red carpet welcome, a ride in the presidential limo, speaks first at the presser, frames the meeting as a successful talk among equals, while making absolutely no concession on the conduct or outcome of the war.
FOX REPORTER: βThe way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.β
Putin, what do you know about the Epstein Files?
Reposting this and a few other things for no particular reason today. Maybe Iβll do it tomorrow and the next day, too.
Reading your book now, and I keep quoting it to family and friends. I appreciate the work you've done to put all this exciting research in one place.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdaniβs dad (same like βmy stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmatesβ) and apparently the New York Times doesnβt understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my momβs people!
So happy to see my Senator King in Freeport today.
My old neighborhood. Proud of San Francisco.
We feed you.
They hunt us.
Fox hosts, parroting DHS, claimed Sen. Padilla "ran at,β "lunged at," and tried to βbum-rushβ Kristi Noem. Video disproves their claims, showing Padilla standing calmly across the room asking his question as security grabs him.
So happy to see our Senator, Angus King, in Freeport, Maine, supporting No Kings.
Great crowd in Freeport!
This gave me chills β
