“I knew something was weird in the world when many of you started breathlessly asking me in comments on unrelated posts whether people in Spain were worried about “the invasion over there.” It was the first I or anyone around me in Madrid, Spain, had heard of an invasion of Spain. Probably because there was no invasion of Spain. Just like there is no invasion of the United States.

That so many of you were deeply worried about said invasion in my new country of Spain speaks to a wholly distinct and very real invasion: The invasion of what was once a free and functional United States press corp by lapdog propagandists who serve only the genocidal white Christian nationalist agenda of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller.”
