YouTube video by Richard J Murphy What is fascism really about?

Best definition of fascism I've yet heard. Curious to hear what other peeps think.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

Please visualize me as a grizzled farmer wiping away a tear as I say, "You're doing God's work, son."

Well that's effing horrifying.

AOC is plotting a run for president in 2028: report She’s embarked on a nationwide tour with Vermont’s Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, held town halls outside of her district in upstate New York, and raised $15 million

Don't threaten me with a good time.

It did not take a staggering leap of genius to guess the shooter would be rightwing.

Chatting with some journo friends. Things we know:

- Utah
- Bolt action rifle
- White male

So probably a dude with a background in hunting; a one-shot under pressure from 200 yards suggests an experienced shooter.

None of this sounds like the stereotypical commie leftist.

F air, it's not exactly a "fun" watch!

William Kilgore William "Bill" Kilgore (1921-) was a Lieutenant-Colonel of the US Army who commanded the 1st Battalion, 9th Air Cavalry Regiment during the Vietnam War. William Kilgore was born in California in 1921,...

Oh, close! Not Kurtz, but rather Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore. Which is plenty bad.

He died doing what he loved, whipping up hatred and racism.

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

"Utah is one of the most reliably Republican states in the United States, with Republicans dominating state and federal elections for decades. It has a Republican 'trifecta,' with the party controlling the governor's office, state House, and state Senate."

Kirk knew what he was doing, going into a liberal hotbed like Utah.

Historical footnote: reactionary demagogues leave no legacy. Nobody is talking about Father Coughlin, Huey Long, Jerry Falwell, or Rush Limbaugh.

They whip up hated, make their fortune, and vanish into the earth, leaving nothing behind.

Men like Charlie Kirk as as loud as a drum, and as hollow.

Yes! Oh no, he died!

I used to think people were being ahistorical and hyperbolic when they claimed DJT as the worst US president in history. But now ...

The meanness of Jackson, the corruption of Johnson, the stupidity of Buchanan; he's the worst aspects of our worst presidents all melded together.

Trump’s new law will limit payments to hospitals that treat low-income patients • Stateline President Donald Trump’s new tax and spending law will likely force more than half the states to reduce payments to doctors and hospitals that treat Medicaid patients.

I hope rural USA voters have the day they voted for.

PATTERNS OF CHILDHOOD DEATH IN AMERICA In 1999, children aged 0 to 19 accounted for 29 percent, or 77.8 million, of the U.S. population of 272.7 million (U.S. Census, 2001). Reflecting their generally good health, children accounted for on...

Fact-checking myself: Correct stat is 30%, not 31%.

"Death in Childhood Is No Longer Expected—In 1900, 30 percent of all deaths in the United States occurred in children less than 5 years of age"

Florida plans to become first state to ban all vaccine requirements Vaccine mandates are immoral and akin to slavery, says Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo.

In 1900, before widespread childhood vaccination, 31% of all deaths in the USA were children under 5. Today that number is 0.7%.

We gonna party like it's 1899.

Yeah, the rancid sexism is kinda baked-in at this point.

Yes, some people who serve are idiots, but the vast majority are not. They have eyes, ears, and functioning brains.
