Corporations will not stand up to fascism. They are engines to create profit for shareholders so protecting profit is their only guiding principle. They will bend to the felon-in-chief rather than face costly repercussions from a petty tyrant who wields unconstitutional power without any oversight.

Remember folks, fascism isn’t death camps.

Fascism is total control by a single party and dismantling checks and balances.

Fascism is replacing inspectors general with loyalists so there’s no oversight on your corruption.

Fascism is a party so afraid to defy dear leader that they’ll confirm a supremely unqualified Secretary of Defense or a foreign spy as Director of National Intelligence.

Fascism is the authoritarian control that allows death camps to occur.

But they aren’t going to use death camps. They’ll just deny healthcare and let us die at home.

What are you doing to fight fascism now that it’s here?

SNL’s parody of Trump looks more presidential than actual footage of him.

My friend is directing Chekhov’s masterpiece The Seagull. Opens in Portland OR at Twilight Theater this Friday.

It promises to be a fantastic performance.

I know it’s a minor nitpick. But I read a book that focused on the events between the election and the outbreak of war. I can’t actually recommend it because it was written by a confederate apologist.

Even he couldn’t hide the fact that congress had not even tried to outlaw slavery. They had barely started meeting. But they also wouldn’t give in to slave state demands to pass a resolution that would extend slavery to new states.

@zleap @KawaTora

The above back and forth isn’t totally correct. There were no new laws about slavery.

The anti-slavery party won the presidency for the first time ever, and the south preemptively rebelled before he could even take office.

The “let’s compromise with evil for peace” attitude of the time likely would have allowed slavery to continue, just prevent future states from allowing slavery.

The slave states overreacted and got burned for it. Literally.
