THE OTHER THING I'll leave you with is probably even more important than that history below, it's the historian Heather Cox Richardson. Especially THIS PART OF HER PODCAST in which she notes the part the media in covering up the violence and crimes of fascism (white supremacy being our indigenous and extremely powerful and effective form of fascism) is playing in the destruction of democracy under Trump and Republican-fascism. Her parallel to the aid the press gave to the violent resistance of Confederate racists during Reconstruction is apt though today it is not only happening in the confederate states. Also different is that it is ICE which is doing it, not the opponents of federal authority.
Listening to the entire podcast more than rewards spending the time to listen to it.
She is one of the best around, these days.
