Are we headed towards Feudalism? Did Trump, Bannon, Stone, Hegseth and others forget how the Roman Empire ended? Or did they just skip that part and remained in their fantasyland? This is unfolding right now. Eyes wide open. Outstanding article. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Another judge just ordered govt to reveal its deal with Bukele to another alien sent to CECOT. A magistrate judge in Columbus, GA (MDGa) did so in the case of Venezuelan EDQC, sent to CECOT on 3/15 without opportunity to raise a fear-of-torture claim. 1/5 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

USA: Devolves into fascism and authoritarianism. PRESS: We will now re-litigate the health of the last president.

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

Another message from this "deal": kids don't need more than 3 dolls, but you can never have too many Rolls-Royces, which will now enter tariff-free.

The man who won't admit this is a Photoshopped picture has access to America's nuclear codes. Sleep well, America!

Stop coddling this administration! Call a lie a lie! He's the president, not a toddler! Journalists need to start acting like actual journalists, not daycare workers! Stop treating the president like a sniveling child with hurt feelings. 😭

This is outrageous.

A better copy!

Ask yourself: If the President so easily falls for photoshopped pictures he sees on Truth Social, what other complete falsehoods is he relying on when he makes decisions? How else is he being manipulated? That wasn’t funny. It was scary.

The speed with which Congress not having the power of the purse, law and the Constitution be damned, has been normalized by the press is the most terrifying thing to me.

Oh just Texas Congressman Keith Self directly quoting Joseph Goebbels during a congressional hearing….what planet are we on smh

The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize. They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace. Your door could be next. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/so-it-begi...

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

Enough with the rationalizations and excuses: the Nazi salute is not a troll, and it is not an accident. The neo-Nazi movement is alive and well, and some of the most powerful people in our country have now actively embraced it.

This legal fiction is to shield Musk from any meaningful accountability. He is operating his own organization within the federal government, loyal to him not Trump, and has amassed unprecedented control of federal data. But just an advisor!

NEWSY: The White House confirms tonight that Elon Musk is NOT the administrator of DOGE and is not even technically part of it. He's a "senior adviser to the president" like Anita Dunn, they say. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Has anyone else read Curtis Yarvin’s articles? This is from 2022 and it describes how the U.S. could back out of Nato and let Russia takeover Europe. graymirror.substack.com/p/a-new-fore...

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

Republicans for much of 2024: "How DARE you call our candidate Mr Trump a fascist?" *President* Trump in 2025:

Better days

Effective and creative data visualization in the form of a full page piece in the WaPo today to show how Trump/Musk are dismantling government.

My favorite Super Bowl moment .

A reminder.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

We need gov't to regulate a big range of things. When it fails in those functions, people die. 47 is indifferent to his responsibilities & incompetent. We can expect more deadly accidents in every aspect of society regulated by the federal govt. https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-dca-collision-dei

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a government agency specifically designed to protect consumers from being exploited by financial interests. So naturally, Musk and Vought want to gut it. www.wsj.com/finance/regu...
