The Detroit Free Press allowed readers to submit their verdict on who won the debate between Dr. Abdul El Sayed and Mike Rogers— but the only two people who said Rogers won decided to include anti Arab slurs in their letters in addition to abject lies. So the DFP refused to publish them.

Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

Semantic violence, eg #4793: It's not enough to criminalise bodily autonomy in the name of "reproducing the white race." They also thoroughly enjoy appropriating, inverting and poisoning the antifascist lexicon.

Surveillance and intimidation of Tohono O’odham is escalating as the Trump administration is determined to bisect their land with a border wall that is an environmental disaster. (They have already started cutting old growth trees down near Tucson.)
