    The escalation of GOP and WH rhetoric about protestors being a mob and Dems being “too dangerous to rule” is very serious. Such talk often precedes “exceptional” and authoritarian gov’t actions. Look for more of this in future.

  2. Such archival documents of violence and abuse of powerhave been key for so many of us who work on authoritarian and imperial abuses around the world. this is an act of complicity 🙄& hardly in keeping with your claim of being “the nation’s recordkeeper.” Grade: F

  3. LaRussa has always been a open fascist, he was a fringe clown until Berlusconi did what Trump is doing now: rehab the far right. Now he is VP of the Italian Senate and advocates restoring the Fascist salute.

  4. Everyone should review this wonderful video interview project on why people were going to vote for Trump.

  5. Trying so very hard to delegitimize voting- this is right-wing propaganda to create uncertainty. Don’t fall for it.

    The cartoon also reminds us that HKers have died last few mths fighting for a more accountable govt that maybe, just maybe, would have handled things differently. But there’s really no vindication, just endless sadness.

  7. This is why DeVos and Trump passed new Title IX regs *that let harassers x-examine their accusers*- they exploit the fear and difficulty of reliving of traumatic events and want to make it even more intimidating.

    This is the reality of American media: There is a legitimate mainstream media that is branded as "liberal" because it doesn't regularly disseminate right-wing propaganda. And there is a right-wing propaganda apparatus that does. It's not liberal vs. conservative.

  9. Another way “Team Trump” is rewriting things. Media: this is not a presser, this is a propaganda stunt and should be covered as such.

    Opening arguments then no witnesses then closing arguments. That’s not a trial. The Constitution requires a trial. Chief Justice Roberts must declare a mistrial. Impeachment trial of President Trump: Live updates

  15. Ivanka being pitched as Presidential Nov 8 2016. First stage was GOP convention speech July; this video was trial balloon on her own; and on we go up to brazen presentation *as a world leader* in G20 2019 group photo.

    Ok I took your advice and went down to the office in Philly to call voters in Iowa. I’m kind of terrible at phone banking but I showed up, met some like-minded folks and I feel a little less hopeless. Thanks

  19. No designer of a system ever foresaw others using it to destroy democracy. My research shows that It comes down to dire survivalist thinking that polarization brings, elites wanting to protect privilege, and moral corruption organized around fear of and obediance to a bully.

    All POTUS cares about is ratings. Don't watch the State of the Union address Tuesday. You can read it later. Watch the hallmark channel. Sports. Netflix reruns. Whatever. Don't give him your eyes. Your tweets. No more RTs. Diminish him. Diminish him before it is too late.

    We tracked more than $174 million in foreign funding going to the nation's top think tanks in our new report "Foreign Funding of Think Tanks in America." It's a must read for understanding this seldom discussed avenue of foreign influence
