One of the more notable things about our present political moment is that former Republicans like Joe Walsh or the folks at the Bulwark have a more clear eyed understanding of political strategy than a significant number of long-time, moderate Democrats.

Stephen Colbert is still alive. The firing just made him more popular and a symbol of fascist resistance. I wonder if he shows no mercy with his monologues going forward. Wherever he shows up next will get so much attention. It could turn out to be a blessing for him.

There are many jobs that people need to take for economic reasons that do not align with their personal ideals and ideologies. Neither ICE nor any role protecting or boosting the Republican regime is one of those roles. Everyone involved in those actions is choosing fascism with their whole heart.
