I’ll be honest, this week there was more to destroy the rule of law than in trumps first term, And i have no idea what the Democrats are doing to fight back. Or even saying. Crickets

So in a week Trump has put hundreds of violent criminals on the streets and jacked up the price of coffee. You can see how Democratic officials might be stumped as to how to respond.

Excellent post

Important to realize scope of what's happening and how different it is from headlines: -Not just getting rid of post-2020 DEI practices, setting up an attack on post-1965 civil rights law and practices -Not just cracking down on illegal immigration, expelling legal immigrants and blocking refugees

They will never stop bowing.

BRENNAN: You campaigned on lowering prices. Which executive order lowers prices? VANCE: We have done a lot. BRENNAN: So grocery prices aren't going to come down? VANCE: No Margaret, prices are gonna come down. But it's gonna take a little bit of time.

How it started. How it’s going.

But I was told by so many major media outlets that Trump had nothing to do with it!

REMEMBER: The Christian right has for decades fear-mongered to its base that the government is trying to "criminalize Christianity" (theirs, that is) and stifle pastors' free speech.

It was all in Project 2025…

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has stepped up to provide funding to help cover the U.S. contribution to the U.N. climate body's budget, filling a gap left by disgraced convicted felon President Donald Trump. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Note that this is a politician from Denmark's right-wing party

In the federal govt, as elsewhere, senior staff is more white and male than junior staff. Crushing "DEI" is a response to perceived risk to White dominance, not an actual threat. Gift link: wapo.st/3WyP0Nj

Authoritarianism 101: Replace institutions with personalistic ties to the leader so that loyalty rather than universal criteria becomes the ground for rights and benefits.

If we're afraid to call Nazis Nazis, we've already lost to the Nazis.

Trump pardoned a child molester.

At this point, I’m finding it more and more amazing that the good guys actually won World War 2.

If Trump is upset with “love thy neighbor,” perhaps he should stop selling Bibles.

Total BS. Sam Kuffel, a meterologist at the Milwaukee CBS affiliate was fired for criticizing Elon Musk and his sieg heil salute on her Instagram page. We're deep in State Media territory here, folks. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

If Republicans are OK with the "Roman Salute" that Musk did then please start using it from now. Exactly how he did it. Begin your press conferences this way. Your Youtube shows. Go for it. Do it in Europe when you're traveling.

This is such a crucial point. Democrats are eschewing picking fights with Trump in favor of carefully focus-grouped messages. The implicit assumption is that those messages will reach people. They won't, because they're inauthentic and boring.

The television ratings for Donald Trump's second inauguration dropped 27% from Joe Biden's in 2021 and were nearly 20% lower than Trump's first swearing-in in 2017.

Correct
