The next time Florida tries to ban a book to "protect the children," remember that they want to change laws to make 14 year-old work overnight shifts. They don't care about children, they just care about erasing women and all people who are LGBTQ or of color. wsvn.com/news/local/f...

There are RULES for gov’t documents—who has them, sees them, keeps them, where they’re kept—because they’re a record of gov’t business. Not open to all—but containing the doings & ACCOUNTABILITY of what our gov’t does. The Nat’l Archives stores much of that vital data. DJT fired the archivist.

The Alien Enemies Act centers on the President. If DJT says he knew nothing about its implementation, he’s not only lying; he’s saying that the government’s actions had no justification of any kind at all—not even the warped use of old legislation. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/03/...

Two years ago I noted that the Sarah Sanders administration in Arkansas was a unique mix of incompetence, arrogance, meanness, and grift. It’s no longer unique. The wanna be king and his co-president are taking that mix to another level. Incompetence, Arrogance, Meanness, and Grift.

Those institutions ... were designed to lift white people up and keep Black people down. I am a direct beneficiary of that system," writes Arkansas Times Publisher Alan Leveritt.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

This ONLY happens in authoritarian regimes. Trump is a psychopath - I am not being facetious. He meets the diagnostic criteria. He is using the government for revenge against people he believes slighted him. He is little more than a petulant child. He must be removed from office now.
