I finished reading this over the weekend and it is phenomenal. Highly recommend this book, especially for our current times.

My copy of @letsgomathias.bsky.social To Catch a Fascist has arrived! (Along with Steppenwolf to qualify for free postage) Added to the pile of essential reading.
had BIGGER crowds at events for To Catch A Fascist, which New Yorker says is among “BEST BOOKS OF 2026,” & which a STARRED Publisher’s Weekly review called an “urgent, eye-opening debut” & a “heart-pounding & heartening glimpse of the fight against fascism..” www.simonandschuster.com/books/To-Cat...
New: Why Was the Prairieland Jury Persuaded to Convict Given the Government’s Weak Case?
Questions linger about a “loud uproar” in the jury room on the day of the verdict as juror misconduct is alleged in a post-verdict motion seeking a new trial.

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.
"Mr. Met is a raging anti-semite" and "Pope Leo is WEAK on crime" in the same week, we are approaching some kind of posting singularity
know pointing out this kind of hypocrisy doesn’t accomplish much but am imagining the five-alarm fire at Fox News if Obama posted an illustration of himself as Jesus
Been a minute since church but pretty sure I recall some clear language about idolatry

Hey! Been nothing but nice to you and your tone is weird? I’m a professional too? A journalist who wrote a book on this subject. I don’t disagree with Tom’s point? Your argument is what? we shouldn’t use the word Antifa? it’s not real? Read the book before you argue that pls. Have a nice day!
I was just reading about this guy!
Strongly recommend this book, btw. It's so rare to see antifa treated with even a shred of respect outside of far-left circles, so this has been a breath of fresh air.
I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.
I’ve been reading @letsgomathias.bsky.social great new book it’s full of historical info. Highly recommend icymi www.simonandschuster.com/books/To-Cat...
Speaking to his supporters after the verdict, Caravello criticized federal agents for "kidnapping" people and "indiscriminately using weapons against us."
“The least we should be able to do is throw a fucking tear gas canister away from us, he said.
NEWS: Jonathan Caravello, the philosophy professor accused of assaulting federal agents after removing a tear gas canister from a crowd — the same canister that a U.S. Border Patrol agent had thrown at protesters during an immigration raid — was found NOT GUILTY www.huffpost.com/entry/jonath...
Screenshot of sophiafornc from Threads: This is eleven year-old Genesis and six year-old Denis, two Durham elementary school students whose families came here to seek asylum. On Monday, they were detained by ICE and immediately sent back to Honduras without due process. Don't you dare tell me that this is making our country safer.
I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process.
