-- Propaganda -- Silenced Questions --

A journalist is led away, her notebook half-filled. The press conference continues, uninterrupted. When inquiry is unwelcome, what answers remain?

Children wave imperial flags in a school parade.
Their joy is real, their symbols borrowed.
What happens when childhood is choreographed by history?

I study fascism. I’ve already fled America. On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

Author of #HowFascismWorks has fled America.

“I think right now, the Trump regime has decided it has enough of the levers of power that they don’t need to have public support anymore,” says Jason Stanley, author of How Fascism Works.

No. 2 PROPAGANDA
The language of democratic ideals takes on corrupted, opposite meanings. Corrupt politicians run anti-corruption campaigns; freedom of speech claims are used to suppress speech.

Too bad this can't be required reading in our schools. I'm less than halfway through it but I just went ahead and ordered a physical copy. This is the dumbest yet scariest timeline to be living in. 🙄 #booksky #howfascismworks
