“It’s happening again. Violence in the streets. Protesters clashing with police. A president threatening to send in the troops. And once again, America is being told to pick a side: Are you with ‘law and order’ or ‘the resistance?’ Tear gas or hashtags? Trump or chaos? It’s a false choice — but it’s one we keep falling for. That isn’t to say you shouldn’t pick sides in the larger culture war — or that we should fall prey to ‘both-sides-ism.’ But when it comes specifically to what is happening right now in Los Angeles, we don’t have to choose between anarchy and authoritarianism.” [editor’s note: He says “anarchy” like it’s a bad thing – TLK] (06/11/25)
