The crushing of dissent, the elimination of criticism, and the co-opting of cultural and academic centers are all hallmark traits of a fascist regime.

Orban did this in Hungary as well.

Trump and MAGA took the lesson - hence the takeover of the Kennedy Center Honors.

Resist at every moment.

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?

Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.
