"It matters to people that this president is so nakedly corrupt, that the Supreme Court is controlled by partisan hacks, that America’s image around the globe lies in tatters, and that the entire federal government has been degraded. They can see the connections between the way power operates and the fact that they don’t have affordable health care or better wages."

"Authoritarianism always sees fact and truth as delivered by journalism, by history and by science as rival sources of power. Those are radically democratic things. You can be a king or a commoner, and the rules of gravity are still the same. So they attempt to undermine those things."

‘A new world is being born’: author Rebecca Solnit on the ‘slow revolution’ the far right cannot tolerate

It’s easy to focus on authoritarians and their petty victories. But zoom out and the picture is more encouraging, says the woman who popularised the term ‘mansplaining’, whether it’s in feminism, or the environment, or civil rights

"They [MAGA] need me to suffer in order to feel great again. I don't need them to suffer in order to feel great again. I want all of our kids to succeed. And that is a major difference between me and MAGA."

"Vote Blue No Matter Who" Won't Save Us From Fascism

Simply voting for Democrats won't be enough to ward off income inequality, white nationalism, & fascism. There needs to be massive grassroots mobilization to ensure transformational change & reforms.

"In a recent NBC News poll, 59% of voters said the economic and political systems are stacked against people like them, and 84% agreed that 'the very rich and powerful are above the law when they do something wrong, they look out for each other, using their power and connections to get special treatment.'”
