The War on Truth Heats Up (just in time for Constitution Day):

Arendt tells us we have to commit to the difference between the true and the false. But what do we do when the information we're offered obscures that distinction? I think it then becomes more important than ever to sort everything that comes at us as true, false, don't know, don't trust that source. And to find trustworthy sources, and to keep company with those who are committed to truth, those we trust. And to call things by their true names: to call cruelty and hate by no euphemism, to call lies lies and truth truth, to defend science and history, fact and reason.

Resistance begins with our care with truth and language. Kirk's murder is being weaponized to corral us into a smaller and smaller arena of speech, and it is our job to refuse to be confined, to keep speaking out, to keep making irreverent jokes, supporting progressive voices, chastising the high-profile cowards, and talking among ourselves.

MAGA has long been those "people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction" doesn't matter; that absolution and disinhibition are among of the main things Trump offers them.
