Ninety years ago yesterday, antifascist demonstrators routed Oswald Mosley and his supporters when they tried to terrorize the Jews of London’s East End. It’s an important anniversary in a year when a new far-right movement is gathering strength.

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

I think it's bad that kids simply *riding* e-motos are viewed as problematic. What about the high schoolers I see driving trucks and overpowered cars? Or parents in giant SUVs? Both of which are more dangerous. No, no, the kids on e-motos are the real scourge.
Why are dirt bikes being ridden to middle school? How is that allowed?
