Whenever A.R. Moxon posts one of his stellar essays, it's a challenge to choose any portion to excerpt, because the essays are always dense, rich, well-written — and everything he says counts.

I hope the bits I'm choosing to excerpt here might encourage you to read the entire thing:

It's Time To Oppress Conservatives

With a generous, diverse, and open world that will care for everyone, even for them.

^{A.R. Moxon (The Reframe)}

"This falsehood, directed at a community that has done nothing wrong besides being from a different place than the surrounding residents, shows how much the Trump campaign’s strategy hinges on polluting the information environment with lies about vulnerable groups that Republicans want to blame for the country’s problems."

Trump Will Believe Anything

The former president will believe anything—even wild rumors about immigrants killing and eating pets—as long as it’s cruel, politically expedient, and on TV.

^{Adam Serwer (The Atlantic)}

"Trump and Vance are lying about this fabricated allegation about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating pets because their main goal is to generate the emotion of disgust toward a target group of people, to make immigrants subhuman. Straight out of the fascist, authoritarian playbook and a primer for violence toward that group."

How Dangerous is Trump's White Christian Nationalist Vision for the Country?

It's pub week for The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy, now in paperback.

^{Robert P. Jones (White Too Long by Robert P. Jones)}

"A campaign built on populist demagoguery has nowhere else to go especially when slipping in the polls. It is based on an 'us versus them' binary where the 'us' has to constantly be rallied and riled against the 'them.' Fear mongering and resentment—American carnage—is baked into the cake. And it will be served up nonstop between now and November—and perhaps beyond."

"The Trump-Vance campaign isn’t 'backtracking' from it because this is who they are. They want people to hate immigrants, they want to encourage violence. They don’t give a damn that the things they’re saying are false."

Trump continues to embrace foreign autocrats, and other debate observations

Kamala Harris eviscerated Trump last night

^{Jamison Foser (Finding Gravity)}

"He is trying to stir up hatred. It’s the politics of hate that I wrote about in Hatemonger. He wants people to believe that all of their problems are due to immigrants, and to create this — you know, an environment that is extremely unsafe for immigrant families, mixed-status communities, people of color across this country."
