Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social · 3w agoThe documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Antifa is not an organization. If you're not antifa, you're profa, or, fasc, as the kids say. And if you're a fascist...

From a radio address (1930s) by Pedro Albizu Campos.
John Lewis was beaten with clubs wrapped in barbed wire on the Edmund Pettus Bridge fighting for voting rights. Today’s SCOTUS decision takes the sacrifice and fight of all who marched before us and throws it away. We must keep marching — too many have fought too hard to give up.
