I hope the rest of the world wakes up to this quickly. Trump will side with Putin against our allies and the free world. The US is going to the dark side and can no longer be trusted to defend democracies or keep our commitments. This is sad and shameful, but obvious and inevitable.

A must watch moment: Republican Sen Tom Tillis shows he may have a spine after all. I know it’s hard to believe, but he actually calls out Putin 👀 Thanks to @reallyamerican.bsky.social

Don’t look away. Musk/Trump will close entire programs, agencies and departments (without congressional approval) to fund huge tax cuts for the uber-wealthy and their corporations. Time to make some noise with your congresscritters!

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

We aren't "approaching" autocracy. We're not "on the road" to dictatorship. We're not "sliding" toward a Constitutional crisis. We are here. We have been here. The moment already came and went. And the road back out narrows by the hour.
