Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

Every time I see a Tesla on the freeway with misaligned gaps and other visible defects I’m reminded of the Lada cars in the Soviet Union.

The touchstone of most authoritarian regimes is not the kind of total control that most people feel in their day-to-day lives. It is that the regime is only selectively bound by law, producing constant low-grade anxiety as to whether, how, or against whom power will be exercised.

How the whole civil liberties & rule of law thing ends: It’s ok to deny that legal resident due process & free speech bcuz he’s a pro-Hamas, antisemitic jerk. It’s ok for the President to defy that court order bcuz those were a bunch of Venezuelan gang members on those planes.

I used to think that supporting the Dem party was the only way to oppose MAGA and Trump. I now realize they are all part of the same paradigm and ecosystem. We need a new political force in the game that genuinely stands for sanity, the Constitution, traditional American values, and pluralism.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Great speech by Claude Mlhuret. A lot of substance here beyond the clever Nero quote grabbing the headlines. BTW, not sure that a fully rearmed Europe is truly in US interests now or even post-Maga. youtu.be/G-lh0TUTtvI?...

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?
