Who are you thinking of in politics and elsewhere who is fighting Republican Fascism? 3/
The antidote is to redouble one’s focus politicians and others who are doing the opposite, showing bravery and integrity as they fight Republican Fascism. Here’s who I am thinking about today. 2/
I’ve been watching Democratic politicians who move toward Republican Fascism. It isn’t only the flaming example of Haley Stevens. I have seen it at the state and local level too.
It is repulsive and can be demoralizing. Watching the union of cowardice and fascism really exposes one to the basest aspects of humanity. 1/
Pro-democracy plaintiffs keep filing lawsuits to keep up with Trump regime’s ongoing election interference. I don’t see any legacy media reporting comprehensively on the daily encroachments by the regime or pro-democracy plaintiffs’ efforts to block them. There’s a massively important news story here that is getting covered only piecemeal. 1/ #LawFedi
This is well worth a read for anybody who cares about the scourge of misogyny. I recommend watching the embedded video of Patrick Stewart speaking about domestic violence and men’s ability to stop it. https://losingmyperspicacity.beehiiv.com/p/why-losing-patrick-stewart-hits-so-hard-for-women

Trump’s treatment of James Comey is disgraceful. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/26/james-comey-charged-doj. It is designed to intimidate and preemptively deter anybody who ever tries to hold Trump accountable in law or politics, part and parcel of his revolting attacks on Ilhan Omar, Letitia James, etc etc.
