News Analysis: For President Trump, a wide-ranging crackdown on mainstream media institutions and political opponents is not about hate speech, but about speech that he hates â namely, speech that is critical of him and his administration.

Under pressure from the White House, the Smithsonian has removed Trump from the impeachment exhibit at the History Museum. The exhibit now says that âonly three presidents have seriously faced removal,â referring to Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton. The exhibit now looks the way it did in 2008.

This is something I've really come to believe over the years: everything would be so much easier if we could just design systems for the 70-80ish% of normal, decent people. But that 20-30ish% of fearful, angry authoritarian personalities is *extraordinarily* capable at destroying things.

Notice how itâs always, âour laws must be inspired by the Bible!â until it comes to the +2,000 passages in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.
