The next wannabe governor from Florida was spared prison, had his record sealed, and got not one, but three chances at redemption. Now he’s pushing a D.C. crime bill that would deny those same chances to young adults in the District. That screams “opportunities for me, but not for thee.”

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

As Neiman Lab notes, studies show most Americans trust PBS because it is publicly funded, which frees the platform from commercial pressures. READ:

Americans trust PBS <em>because</em> it’s publicly funded, not in spite of it
"President Trump says he is 'restoring trust in government funded institutions.' Our findings demonstrate that such trust already exists, in spades, towards PBS."

Because the reporting across outlets hasn’t mentioned it I want to stress that Justice Jackson referenced the courageous & resolute stance of federal judges J. Shelly Wright in Louisiana and Frank Johnson in Alabama who issued school desegregation orders in the face of “Massive Resistance” to Brown.

The plan to prove that the most incompetent White men are preferable to the most highly qualified Black men has been a smashing success. Between the tariff lunacy tanking the economy, the chain-sawing of the federal govt, & Signal-gate (parts 1 & 2), the supremacy is not looking very supreme.
