Words have meanings. Calling every policy you disagree with “socialism” or “communism” doesn’t make it so. Know the difference and pay attention to where power is actually being concentrated. #Democracy #PoliticalLiteracy #KnowTheDifference #Authoritarianism #CivicEducation

At the Republican convention, a crowd member yelled, "he should be shot," about both @abdulelsayed and @jamestalarico. This isn't hard. This should be condemned left, right and center. Including by @MikeRogersForMI. Violence has no place in our politics. And we must shut it down and condemn it wherever we see it.

I AM not CHARLIE KIRK. I believe empathy matters. I believe that immigrants make us great. I believe diversity makes us better. I believe that whiteness is not supreme. I believe women aren’t inferior. I believe queer people aren’t broken. I believe Christians should actually love their neighbors. I believe the world is bigger than America. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p…

I am pleased to share this commentary on how the president and MAGA republicans are abusing of the terms “socialist” and “communist” to scare citizens rather than outline why their policies are better. Please share.   #politics michiganadvance.com/2026/08/…

Michigan voters have barely finished choosing their candidates for November, and already one of the oldest labels in American politics is getting another workout.
