NEW YORK NIGHTS

Fascism basically means that people don’t exercise their rights, for fear of repercussions. Well, we now see Paramount caving to President Donald J. Trump’s demand for 16 mil, law firms bowing to his demands for freebies, universities making “deals” and SCOTUS allowing him to escape the consequences of justice while he ignores the US Constitution. Yet the gold medal for cowardice goes to our Republican Congress, with Sen. Lisa Murkowski leading the way down the “Yellow Spine Road”! The damage and pain this bill will bring to Americans was well known, but still Congress worked feverishly to pass it, terrified of Trump siccing MAGA primary challengers on them, or worse, the Proud Boys. Murkowski gave the game away by publicly admitting that she was “scared” to vote against Trump. What a disgrace! Zohran Mamdani showed the Democrats how to win a race. If they don’t heed his courageous message in the midterms, we might as well resign ourselves to Trump’s fascist America.
