By now, you’ve seen the tweet above (can we still call them tweets?) That’s Donald Trump, saying that he’ll “be coming for” anyone who “goes after” him. In response, Jack, the Special Counsel…

You might be, having taken it all in, struggling for words. Here’s what Fox News had to say about Ron DeSantis’s latest policy: Slavery was beneficial to slaves. Like I said, you might be struggling…

By now, America’s approaching what can only really be described as a state of free-fall. Massacres are now regular events. One side of politics is openly authoritarian, and incites them. Social bonds…

It’s been a slow burn. Over the last decade or so, America and the world have witnessed the GOP, the Republican Party…transform. Change. Into a malign force, inimical to democracy and modernity. But…
