Yes. Exactly like that.

The president exists in a dystopian fantasy world with no connection to reality

In Trump’s militantly fascist worldview, peaceful protestors become “insurrectionists”, and a “swarming mob”while the REAL insurrectionists (Jan 6th) are pardoned and cast as patriotic superheroes.

The accelerating pace of Trump’s authoritarianism is evident on the streets of Los Angeles, as he deploys the National Guard to intimidate and harass both immigrants and protestors.

BREAKING ABC News has suspended Terry Moran for this now deleted tweet. This morning the White House Press Secretary said she asked ABC News for accountability. A reminder that ABC and George Stephanoupolus paid a multi-million dollar settlement to Trump.

Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy: “Important to remember that Trump isn’t trying to heal or keep the peace. He is looking to inflame and divide. His movement doesn’t believe in democracy or protest - and if they get a chance to end the rule of law they will take it. None of this is on the level.”

Proper ‘Handmaids Tale guardians’ vibes. Just guys with guns, who all of a sudden are in charge for some reason.

All my solidarity with the protesters preventing ICE gestapo thugs from dragging away their neighbours. We can always benefit from a reminder that ordinary people have the power to resist

I present the FSA - Fascist States of America👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 I never thought during my lifetime I’d witness the USA rapidly descend from World leader into a Fascist Police State With heavily armed, masked paramilitary Gestapo type groups snatching & terrorising citizens causing the people to make a stand❗️ 🤦🏼‍♂️

This! 👇

This is a crucial read.

"... Time to fry....."

Funnily enough, it's not the waste of money that is most bothering me most about the sending of tanks to the capital......

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

For those of us who’ve spend the last 6 months discussing how the Trump would use deportations to create chaos is the Blue states and then use that chaos as an excuse to declare a national emergency and seize total power, things are right on schedule.

In just 130 days, Elon... -Secured even more contracts -Derailed at least 40 fed investigations of his corporations -Gutted agencies that regulate his business -Installed loyalists throughout the government Elon has fallen out with Trump, but he got exactly what he wanted.

Here's Trump looking at a graph they gave him, reciting what he sees, but unaware that he's looking at it upside down.

😂😂😂

The Russia Report was released, but heavily redacted. It won’t be released in unredacted form. More importantly - it’s now obsolete & too narrow in scope for the current threat environment. What we need now is a comprehensive review of all foreign interference in UK democracy.

Moskowitz: "Nothing has been made more efficient. Here are the wins for congressional Rs. You ready? They're gonna do a $9b recession bill. They're gonna get rid of Elmo, which the American people were clamoring for, but they're gonna add $2.4t for the debt. And then they want us to cheer for them."

President Trump has granted clemency to 16 corrupt politicians—so far. It’s all part of a sweeping effort to decriminalize political corruption. Here's what you should know... 🧵

Does that include the public in South West Norfolk seat who overturned Liz Truss's majority of over than 26,000 and voted her out?

“[S]teps from Harvard’s campus, Bannon took credit for Trump’s fusillade of orders restricting federal funding to universities *** ‘Once you cut the money off,…that’s a bitch slap, right?’ he said.” Event panelist Amy Wax said “it’s important to have a European majority.” 2/11/25 (Link post 2) 1/

🚨 In Ukraine's most consequential attack on Russia's strategic bomber fleet, SBU's secret operation Spiderweb is estimated to have dealt over $7 billion in damage to over 40 Tu-95, Tu-23, and A-50 aircraft.

Narrator : "that particular ship had sailed a while back" 🚢🥬

"If what you're doing is legitimate and lawful, why do you need to cover your face?”

This guy has murdered hundreds of thousands of people this year, most of them children.

Much like his SpaceX rockets, Elon Musk leaves Washington DC with a bunch of misplaced hype, failures, and a trail of debris.

Trump's BS claim of "emotional anguish" should have YOU falling out of your chair, too. Watch my video here: youtu.be/YuKM_7xfoDQ?...

Phang: I fell out of my chair laughing my ass off—this idea that Donald Trump has suffered some kind of emotional distress because of the editing from 60 Minutes, which wasn’t even deceptive. We know you live in a state of emotional torture, Donald Trump—because: you’re the taco toddler.

When impartiality becomes inconvenient, just call it bias and cut the mic.

#Belarus The trial of Nina Bahinskaya - icon of the Belarusian protests - has begun in Minsk. Despite her advanced age and serious health conditions requiring regular medical care, she faces up to three years in prison.

Days after HHS Secretary RFK Jr. announced Covid shots would be removed from the federal immunization schedule for children, the CDC has published new guidelines that keep Covid shots on the schedule for children 6 months to 17 years-old with the new condition below. www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp...

The Trump administration's free speech tourists went on a wild censorship spree this week.

In a functioning democracy with the rule of law, resisting a government action doesn't prompt additional sanctions by other agencies. Openly authoritarian; weaponizing government against the regime's opponents.

NEW Donald Trump now has his own ‘forever war’—against the judiciary What began as the administration’s ‘move fast and break things’ initiatives are getting bogged down in the US courts By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk
