Do not overlook the role of religion in this authoritarian mess. It matters that a large majority of white Trump voters identify as Christian. Yes, yes white supremacy is a big deal here. As is male supremacy. But omitting Christianity/Catholicism from the equation is intellectual malpractice.
What Links Religion and Authoritarianism?

We need one more Biden misstep calling Republicans Drag Queens. He's so close he doesn't even realize his power.

The Republican culture wars in Texas will soon turn the state into the Forbidden Zone from Planet of the Apes.
Physicians are leaving. Women are leaving. Businesses are leaving. Teachers are leaving at a rate that’s 25% higher than that of other states.
You break it, you bought it.

Hey Americans!
I've been working on a project dissecting Project 2025 chapter by chapter. As we head into 2025, the year Trump will actually take control of the US government, reading it gets more important. If you don't want to read all 900+ pages of it, you can check out my project at https://32daysofproject2025.wordpress.com.

The world's richest man has joined a growing chorus of right-wing voices attacking Wikipedia as part of an intensifying campaign against free and open access information. Why do they hate it so much?

I read that Zuckerberg is calling people who leave his platforms, "virtue signalers." Yup. Indeed. I'd also add, "ethics and morality signalers and patriots." We should all signal that we don't support this kind of behavior. With action.
From our magazine: Over 72 hours, Austin police reported more than 70 overdose calls. Records from Travis County, which includes most of Austin, and neighboring Williamson County indicate that as many as 12 may have died. The culprit: a bad batch of crack cocaine. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-war-on-drug-users-austin-overdose-disaster/
