We are not witnessing the arrival of fascism. We are watching it evolve and expand. And let’s be clear: this authoritarian turn didn’t begin with Trump. It was built – brick by brick – in Democratic strongholds.

What are y’all reading this weekend? . I’m starting a new rotation of books after a few weeks off of writing and read.
