www.bostonreview.net/.../how-can-... Excellent read; progressives, liberals, democrats and ESPECIALLY real JOURNALISTS must stop playing "we must find common ground"/both siderism. It's killing democracy when we fail to stand up to lies, bigotry, racism, misogyny as if they were "just opinions".

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.
