America’s Great Sleepwalk Amongst Fascism: Snoring Through the Funeral of Democracy
The first rule of dying democracies is that nobody notices until the casket is already lowered into the ground.

Remember the Alamo, Forget the Constitution: Texas Invades Chicago with the National Guard
It’s official: Greg Abbott has discovered a new frontier in hypocrisy.
