While bombing Iran is bad for Trump’s poll numbers, starting a war and creating chaos is good for Trump as an authoritarian. Authoritarians exploit chaos to claim emergency powers, deploy the military domestically, and undermine free and fair elections. These attacks must be viewed from this lens.

We’ve leapt over a lot of red lines in the last week. But one I find most worrying is Trump/MAGA/ICE have ceased even pretending to claim some criminal pretext for cracking down on protected speech. It’s just straight up “if you criticize us, you’re getting throttled/arrested/disappeared.”

@rawstory.com Why hasn't Rawstory updated their Science news for weeks, if not months? You need to fire the person responsible for the Science news. How can NO one at Rawstory notice this failure? Seriously??

When these institutions — big law firms, Ivy League universities —bow to Trump rather than fighting what appear to be illegal orders, do they think he’ll just be satisfied and stop? Do they just expect others to fight where they won’t?

This is an opinion piece that evidently meets Jeff Bezos' new test for supporting "personal liberties and free markets." Support pro-democracy independent media.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Ohio Republicans override the will of voters by claiming "voters didn't understand what they voted for. There are many trump voters who did NOT know what he'd do, once given power. Do states now withhold sending funds to fed govt cuz voters didn't what FOTUS would do?
