For a nation that imagines enemies where they don't even exist, we have an extraordinary ability for denial about ones that are right in front of us.
My new substack is about the Proud Boys...

The Sunday news shows are full of people who created America’s rigged economy now telling us how we should get of the disastrous mess it has produced.
They speak in very serious and sophisticated tones and the game is that we’re supposed to listen to them with a straight face.

Then don’t send your children to the library that day. This is a free country whether you like it or not. There is nothing that makes trans people “groomers.” Groomers of violence and hatred and undemocratic sentiment are what scare me.

What those people were doing at the library was not “defending” anyone. And they were also traumatizing the children. Marauding violent gangs are not “defending” anyone.

Trump had told the Proud Boys to “Stand back and stand by,” so when he told them that the election had been stolen from him and he needed them to come to DC and be wild, they did.

I don’t know what we have to do to protect trans people from the Proud Boys/brown shirts who are after them these days, but whatever it is we need to do it. They’re picking on who they perceive to be the most vulnerable people now & if we don’t stop it they will just keep going.
NEW: San Francisco drag queen Panda Dulce says their Drag Queen Story Hour for kids at San Lorenzo Library today was stormed by people shouting homophobic slurs and hate speech.
They allegedly shouted "tranny" and "pedophile."
I called @ACSOSheriffs who confirmed the incident:

“We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.” 3/3

“We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. 2/3

Quote from Nixon aide John Ehrlichman about the Drug War:
“You want to know what this was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? 1/3

The crimes of the Nixon administration were almost small compared to those of the Trump administration. The main difference is that more people at that time actually cared if there were criminals in the White House.

Thank you.
The notion that Democrats shouldn't abolish the filibuster or sign executive orders to significantly improve the lives of the American people because they might get reversed if the Republicans win back Congress and the White House is absolutely, positively 1,000% bat shit crazy.
