Recorded my first video essay, about fascism. Not as an insult, or hyperbole. But as a clinical diagnosis from some of the world's leading historians, including the scholar who spent 60 years warning people not to use the word carelessly.

Proud day to be Dutch. Rob Jetten sworn in as the first openly gay prime minister in Dutch history.

We were the first country to legalize gay marriage – and the fact that Jetten's sexuality hardly played a role in the campaign makes me even more proud.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.  This is one of them.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.

The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

The videos don't lie. A man is dead, killed in cold blood. There is no conceivable justification for this intentional homicide. And make no mistake, that intentional, unjustified homicide was committed on behalf of Donald J. Trump.

Trump's militarization of Minneapolis and other parts of our nation isn't about illegal immigration. It's not about enhancing public safety. It's about destroying any sense of that safety—to intimidate political opponents, and to punish dissent. It's about a corrupt, out-of-control regime's effort to provoke citizens in order to justify the violence it desires to commit against them so that it can expand and retain its power.

That is fascism. It is tyranny. It is governmental criminality.

And the ultimate legal check the Framers of our Constitution provided to stop this kind of tyranny and criminality in the executive branch is impeachment and removal of the executive.

Congress needs to do its job.

Now.

Before it's too late.

BREAKING: In a stunning report, CNN just analyzed all the ways Donald Trump and his family have profited from his Presidency. This is insane

Lost elections are rigged, won elections are fair. Good job numbers are real, bad ones are fake. Sex trafficking is bad, unless the traffickers will blame your enemies. Crime is bad, unless the criminals are pro-Trump. This isn’t 4D chess, or even tic-tac-toe, just Autocracy 101.

Was the US DoD hacked and two Russian flags added, or is the Trump admin this oblivious all the way down to their graphic designers?

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

Yes, this is fascism.

For years, historians and experts were cautious about using the f-word to describe today's events. But that hesitation is gone now. 🧵

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.
