After illegally bulldozing half of the White House, Trump bans media that won’t lie for him from the other half. Every self-respecting media entity in America should boycott what’s left of the White House if he keeps violating press freedom.

John C. Calhoun wasn't a conservative; he was a radical. Stephen Miller isn't a conservative; he's a radical. "Tradition" isn't a real thing that once existed and we can go back to, or something worth conserving, but an imaginary place that they'll destroy the current world to create.

Trying to manage these people as if they're standard participants in a multicultural democracy misses the point, because they have no interest in multicultural democracy or being one component of it; they want a system that treats them as a privileged class lording it over everyone else.

Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.

Yesterday Donald Trump's State Department published a report that targets 43 elected leaders, unions, and political organizations by name. It's a clear attempt to intimidate people for basic political activity. We reject it, and are in solidarity with the organizations in our DC community.

Statement of solidarity with organizations and individuals targeted by Trump’s State Department

Washington DC — Yesterday Donald Trump’s Department of State published a new report that targets 43 elected leaders, unions, and political organizations by name.

In response, Free DC issued the following statement:

“Trump wants people who disagree with him to feel divided and afraid and that’s clearly what this list is about. We refuse to take the bait.

“It seems like Marco Rubio might be distracted by those shoes that are too big for him. For heaven’s sake George Floyd is listed here. Other people on this list include lifelong public servants, people who have spent their lives working for justice, and at least one person who has perfected the art of chocolate ice cream. Between war with Iran, escalating crises in Ukraine, Palestine, and Venezuela, starting a trade war with Canada, and accusing China of election interference, it seems like the State Department should look in the mirror and address its own problems.”

“This list includes several organizations here in our DC community. We are in steadfast solidarity with local organizations that fight for Black Lives, the DC chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, the Claudia Jones School, the National Lawyers’ Guild, and Medea Benjamin. Fear cannot divide us.”
