So it occurred to me that I always thought Republicans were opposed to governments telling companies how to run their businesses. Like Trump pressuring companies to drop DEI practices. Course, they also used to believe in States' Rights (Not for trans!). And opposing dictators. And the Constitution.

Stopped by all 3 branches of govt today to share my sentiments, but Congress deserves this the most. They could stop this fascist takeover and instead they are doing Hitler 2.0’s bidding. They’ve completely quit caring about America and our constitution and citizens. #MomSky

🚨NEW: El Salvador plans to double size of CECOT prison to hold 80,000 inmates. [WSJ] A source said it is “up to the US to send enough to fill it”. The news comes after Trump was caught on hot mic telling Bukele to build more prisons for “homegrowns”. Story👉 www.wsj.com/world/americ...

Financial industry/news people are showing how myopic they are. Everything is "Will the tariffs work?", "Wait until de-regulation kicks in!", etc. What is the impact on the economy of the US becoming a fascist authoritarian state? Why do/did people like us and buy our stuff? See TSLA for reference.

"As the government flings itself apart, we will keep coming back to the grim reality. Trump can’t be restrained, or reasoned with, or babysat for the next four years. The only way to bring power back under the rule of law is to remove a lawless man from power."

There's been a lot of discussion about due process rights in this whole deportation disaster, but what about "cruel and unusual punishment"? I don't think the 8th amendment says "unless you ship them to another country and let them do it".

. The US needs be very afraid "If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary." Timothy Snyder

He’s going to be fired because he outed the fact that Musk arranged with Hegseth to get a top secret briefing at the Pentagon. Trump and his Chief of Staff didn’t even know about it. As usual, in Trump World, the person who does the right thing is the one who is punished.

“The old American order is dead. It ended on April 14, 2025, when a Latin American strongman sat in the Oval Office and discussed sending U.S. citizens to foreign concentration camps with the American president while they jointly defied the Supreme Court.” @jvl.bsky.social

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.

Feel like I'm being gaslighted by the whole world right now. Yesterday, I watched the President of the United States make clear that he intends to ignore a Supreme Court ruling and then state, on camera, that his next step is to send US citizens to concentration camps in El Salvador. Today, crickets

We are now at the point where the AP can write this as if its a simple background fact and it sparks no outrage: "Trump has made no secret of his plans to use the power of the federal government to target domestic political adversaries."

What a contrast between how our allies get treated versus little dictators like Bukele. Not a word about him not wearing a suit either, as he petitions the US to expand his country’s mercenary penal colony by sending him more money.

The televised Oval Office meeting with Bukele is mockery. They’re mocking the press, their opposition, the courts, and the entire concept of justice. They’re mocking everyone who isn’t them. The abuser’s playbook yet again.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?
