Notice how none of these protestors are setting up a gallows for the VP or beating their way into the Capitol?

This feels exactly right. It all comes down to fealty. But there's no end to the threats. It's an abusive relationship.

My friend Rory Truex is a professor of politics at Princeton and an expert on authoritarian regimes. You should read his substack on our current constitutional moment.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Hands Off! A bunch of big organizations (50501, Women’s March, MoveOn, Indivisible, Hands Off) are coming together on April 5 for a day of nationwide action & protest against the Trump regime. “If we don’t fight now, there won’t be anything left to save.” [kottke.org]

"Rather than who he is.." Who is that? A stable genius? A defender of liberal democracy? Have we learned nothing? Voicing regret and obeying in advance rather than doubling down on the truth will not spare NPR from Trump's wrath. So frustrated with NPR in this moment.

If you do not like mining and the damage it does, something very useful to do is stop driving a combustion engine fossil-fuelled vehicle. Replace it with a small EV, a bicycle, public transport, walking - it all cuts out www.transportenvironment.org/state-of-eur... @transenv.bsky.social

JD Vamp Not gonna lie, I admire Trump and Vance's commitments to their gender care makeup routines. Now if only they could affirm that others also deserve the right to express their gender how they see fit.

This sounds like a little side story, but it worked me because it demonstrates there are more people than you would hope who are more committed to the ideas of the fascist coup than believing it carrying about their family. That is a very bad sign.

Not defending the US military industrial complex, but of course Europe is going to stop buying from us. Trump doesn't give a damn about the knock-on domestic economic effects of cozying up to dictators and betraying allies around the world.

The average American voter thinks that the government is too big but that it should spend more money on everything it does. This explains a decent share of the political chaos of this country.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

This reads very much like the White House being angry they didn’t get a signed deal on rare earths, after which they could pull away any vague security guarantees. But Zelenskyy was able to look down the game tree. www.semafor.com/article/02/2...

Medicaid provides 40% of the funding for community health centers. Medicaid supports 2 out of 3 people in nursing homes. Medicaid provides health care to 41 million children. Trump and his Republican friends want to enact massive cuts to the program. We won't let them.
