Feels like skipping past the Civil War and World War II are sorta big tells here? I wonder why he doesn't want to talk about the times the US military waged war against white supremacists. Probably a totally innocent explanation, right? Right?

Trump's covert surveillance of anti-ICE protesters is much worse than we thought. I dug into this and found that DHS agents secretly spied on over a dozen meetings of left-leaning groups, all protected by First Amendment. The details are unnerving. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2144...

The establishment views thenideological spectrum as a two-dimensional line when it really is three dimensional. Progressives are more likely to appeal to idependents and increase base turnout because most people correctly view centrists as believing in nothing and having zero integrity.
