Blog Highlight: AZ Sheriff Exercises Fascism
David Neiwert at Crooks & Liars posted a video and article about the Sheriff Arpaio’s ever more oppressive activities in Maricopa County, AZ:
I’m spending my Christmas vacation in lovely Maricopa County, AZ, this week with my in-laws. And I have to tell you that, thanks to Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his gang of thugs deputies, I’ll be somewhat relieved when I leave.
After all, how would you like to live in a place where law enforcement actually arrests you for applauding briefly at a public county council meeting? Where they threaten and intimidate you just for showing up in the first place?
That’s what’s been happening here.

Reader Poll: White Nationalism
Here at Imagine 2050 we often write about controversial issues. We include items that are of mainstream interest, but also strive to highlight stories and points of view that don’t receive much attention. Sometimes those stories discuss the activities of hate groups and extremists, for example Stephen Piggott’s blog on white nationalism a few days ago.
Some people think writing about white nationalists gives them the attention they normally don’t enjoy or deserve. Others believe staying silent lends them legitimacy. We want to know what you think.
Should white nationalism be confronted?
Or should it be ignored?
