Everyone needs to stop doing Normal Politics re the Trump regime. None of that has any purchase or relevance any more. Shift the discourse. I only hope our leaders can see what’s happening and accept that their frames of reference no longer apply.

Relatedly: we have to stop assuming that a humane/truthful/non-hateful internet moderation regime is some kind of default. It is our political preference, equal but no more than that to the fascist preference for minority speech to be banned.
We’re kinda coming back to the idea of a ‘state of emergency’ which suspends or transcends familiar norms. That’s a really dangerous prospect, with a seriously fash history. But we can’t carry on as if it isn’t happening. I don’t know what a properly democratic politics looks like in that situation.
