How was the fascism of 1930s Germany finally overcome?
Everyone (except the fascists) seems to agree that we should never stand by the likes of horrors the Nazis inflicted.
"Never again" is chanted reflexively, but atrocities against humans continue today. The Ukrainians, the Uighurs, ...
The US is supposedly accelerating toward fascism.
I pose this as a pinned question.

And those are the votes that matter, unfortunately. Biden won't convert MAGAs and already thinks he can count on Dems, which is probably fair in a two-party system. (At least, I assume this is the reasoning.)

The ostensible goal of this ad was to inform red districts that their representatives are taking credit for bills they voted against.
How does ode to bipartisanship help?
If anything, those voters might feel that voting Republican is fine since they trap the benefits anyway.
Justice Samuel Alito’s wife leased land to an oil and gas firm as her husband heard cases involving the fossil fuel industry.
In May, Alito penned the majority decision for Sackett v. EPA, a decision which drastically scaled back the Clean Water Act.

Doing your job deserves no more appreciation than anyone that do theirs. When dozens of vice-presidents in a similar position had done before.
Like Al Gore. He did it when he actually had a bigger stake in the outcome.
Pence actually looked hard to find loopholes.
Pence can go fuck himself, incidentally. I will respect him if he did that.
'I Cried for Joy': Texas Judge Blocks Texas Abortion Ban for Dangerous Pregnancies
While the Texas Supreme Court instantly blocked the injunction by filing an appeal, it was seen as a victory by advocates.
In what The AP reports is the first legal pushback since an abortion ban took effect in Texas in 2022, State District Judge Jessica Mangrum issued a temporary injunction against the ban late Friday afternoon in the case of unsafe pregnancies.

What is skipped in the joyous celebration is that nothing has changed in Texas. The abortion ban remains in place.
The fact that it was partially rejected by a judge is celebrated as a win, and the fact that the partial rejection was stayed is not mentioned.
This is what it has come down to: a temporary opinion of a court against one specific category of abortion is hailed as a victory.

nostr:npub18ljjwuh8vt0lrh3fe3vsefddt40u297gtsk3d4v4ywhjnvms9zfqy480hq I understand the concepts to be religious, so in that respect, I reject good and evil.
Beyond that, good and evil are terms we ascribe to acts or thoughts that help or hurt us and others, with levels of severity.
On occasion, they may even coincide with religious versions.
I'm an atheist, so for a moral compass I rely on empathy and reason. I find the silver rule as a good rule of thumb. Definitely prefer it to its more popular cousin, the golden rule.
No, they are not the same.😉

Someone ask TFG,
"Was there ONE appointment you made while in office whom you still respect?"
"How come you misjudged so many people whom you appointed to positions of very high responsibility?"
Of course no one will.
Every time he makes a statement like he did about Pence, there should be a Dem press release listing the names of every appointment he made whom he has disparaged & called names, under the heading "TFG again asserts he has terrible judgement in people"
