Normal Times in Dire Times
Fascism does not break normal life, it feeds on it.
"History has already shown us how this story unfolds. Fascism is not built only in the camps and cells. It is built in the shrug, the silence, the insistence that life can go on as if nothing has changed"

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.
And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Spam PACs Raise Money by Deceiving Seniors
One 89-year-old woman made 7,532 donations totaling $68,666
The reason why fundraising text read like scams is because they are. The political fundraising system has imported the tactics of elder financial fraud. These tactics are designed to filter out skeptics and specifically target and exploit seniors.
95% of scam PAC donors are 65+, costing > $500m.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.
But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.
In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.
This is why unions are vital.

Hochul: "This is what I call a legal insurrection ... they know they're going to lose next year. That's the only reason they're engaged in this. It also might be a nice distraction from people asking -- all of the sudden this happens when? When they refuse to release the Epstein files."

Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring.
And then that guy was "silenced" forever.
And now we will just not talk about anything else until they...

Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.

Hardly anyone is paying attention.
EXCLUSIVE: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has a blunt, scary warning: AI could wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next 1-5 years.
Few are paying attention: Politicians don't get it. CEOs are afraid to talk about it.

Content aside, Whitehouse's response is a good example of how to verbally counter a gish gallop:
-Don't try to overshout or outpace. Slow, measured, loud, precise.
-Repeat key phrases. Stick to one point.
-Wait for the downbeat, pick up on their words. "Yes. I'm insisting on the facts."
