Nazi clown. They are LOSING.

When I teach Vietnam, I explain that opposition to the war really grew in fits and starts. Some big rallies and visible protests, but also a steady stream of celebrities and ordinary folks breaking with their priors and taking a new stand. This last month, this last week, feels like a real shift.

I eagerly await all the people that are going to tell me how this is really bad news

Trump Can Be Defeated, by @jonathanbchait.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I find,ironically,that the people who think a fascist President means a fascist country are the very people who believe that the President “runs the country” because they don’t understand federalism and the horizontal and vertical lines of authority that exist. They already have a fascist mindset.

Just hours after Renee Good was shot, on an adjacent street, an agent with the ID EZ-17 fired a less-lethal weapon five times in less than five minutes with four shots aimed at the faces of protestors. See our analysis here: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...
