Children of 1960s watch in #pain as story of our lifetime is #erased. The first week of #Trump47 was marked by all-out push to declare victory in #culture war that started in 1960s to reverse that decade’s victories — from #Selma to #Stonewall to #EarthDay. I talked with my fellow #boomers about the very real pain of watching the end of the world as we know it, and what comes next. #Maga #civilliberties #justice #freedom #constitution #politics #racism #WhiteNationalism inquirer.com/opinion/commentar

The Philadelphia Inquirer · Children of the 1960s watch in pain as the story of our lifetime is erasedBy Will Bunch

A reply from @Jennifer said: "That wouldn't stop Trump from becoming president next month, Harris would only be president until January 20. Trump won the election. And that's not how anyone wants to get the first female president."
Me: Trump would still become president on January 20, but it certainly would result in the USA getting its first female president. I like this. I also like realizing how very much #Trump47 merch was manufactured, and all of it would become worthless if Kamala is 47th.

How #censorship and #propaganda work in the land where #Trump47 is a serious possibility:

"The Intercept analysis showed that the major newspapers reserved terms like “slaughter,” “massacre,” and “horrific” almost exclusively for Israeli civilians killed by Palestinians, rather than for Palestinian civilians killed in Israeli attacks"

Even words the UN uses regularly in its resolutions, like “occupied territory” “Palestine” “refugee camps” are censored

The remaining dollars up to $814,600 will be directed in various amounts to the local Party in 39 states. (if evenly that’s <$21k per state)

…Previously, had structured his joint account so that each time a donor contributed a dollar to the campaign, 10 cents was directed to & 90 cents was allocated to the Trump presidential campaign.

Thanks for sharing rhe article Philip.

You ask rhetorically, "But Stefanik will somehow do better?"

But that is IMO an open question.
"Better" isn't what Stefanik can, if things go Trumpian, do.
Durham was restricteded by laws and institutional boundaries and regulations to mild over-reach and mild mis-use of DoJ powers.
Stefanik and a Trump 47 administration may not be.
