"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

Autocracy would not work with our system of governance called federalism. It's a system of governance that divides power between a national government and state governments. US Constitution recognizes system of dual sovereignty no king

Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

Whether it’s women he assaults, people he defrauds, police officers defending the Capitol, or countries invaded by murderous dictators, Trump always blames the victims.

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

One of the critical differences between Hungary and Poland versus what we are seeing in the United States right now is the complete dismantling of the administrative state. That didn't happen in Hungary. It didn't happen in Poland. Hell, it didn't even happen in Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy.

Classic con structure: the big returns are coming!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was never held accountable for Samoa. If/when he is responsible for diseases spreading, this time around, he better be indicted when we take over. He's only here because once again, we ignored the crimes of wealthy white men.

i am going to fucking lose my mind, this is not an actual proposal, it’s brain poisoned nonsense drawn up by some musk toady on twitter, it assumes savings that are totally implausible and being contested in federal court, stop responding as if they’re real

BREAKING: GOP Senator Susan Collins says she’ll vote AGAINST Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI Director: “Mr. Patel’s recent political profile undermines his ability to serve in the apolitical role of Director of the FBI.”

The Democrats are running scared. They have security if necessary. The American people are out there among militarized cops. We have to shield the protesters with our bodies. We are willing to hold the line for freedom. The alternative is a non starter. The courts are now only defense.

Don't give me any more empty promises or white toothed grins. The American people are toothless, hungry with a home down by the river. We are the most powerful when we are motivated by hunger and have no hope. This is a joke right. It's not really happening. The coup is complete

Exactly. We need to stop pretending that this special relationship with the USA stands in these circumstances and draw closer to Europe again. Russians were behind Brexit propaganda too, divide and conquer always works.

I’m very tired of hearing or reading the people we elected to do the job say a bunch of nice words and then say it’s up to us to do better. Maybe next election we could do better (not optimistic).

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

I had no doubt he'd be confirmed. The Republicans are exactly where Trump wants them. They will forever be held responsible for the destruction of our country and its people.

JUST IN: Kash Patel confirmed as FBI Director by the U.S. Senate in a 51-49 vote

Senate Republicans confirmed Kash Patel without even ASKING him about his unexplained "consulting" for Qatar, continued stake in a Chinese company accused of humans rights crimes, or a payment by a Russian propagandist. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The amount of code switching Vance has done in his life is dizzying.

He really put some thought into that manspread slouch I’ll bet.

Legislation by Dems doesn't work if you can't get it passed.

Great, comprehensive article on the impact of a Trump administration on federal education policy--from @Dianeravitch.bsky.social archive.is/2025.01.12-1...

I'm listening to Hakeem Jeffries talk about cuts to Medicaid. He says we have to do better. Democrats took a week off during a Constitutional crisis. Color me doubtful 🧐

I finally called Medicare rep after being scared shitless by United Healthcare. I'm jumping ship if I can

By not considering and solving for how to include the disabled, you are intentionally choosing to exclude them. It’s not an ‘oops’. #disability #accessibility

#ICC-AKI & #USCC-AKI One ready for the #DefundMusk campaign. Use this to post liberally all over social media. You can also print postcards to use to stick on ALL #Tesla charging stations and put under windshield wipers of Tesla vehicles seen in parking lots as you are out and about. Pass it on!

Yesterday really ate at me and I ate at my self. Today is another day, the rainbow reminds me so. Though waking up tired and sore, I try to see the positives and find joy everyday. #rainbowoutmywindow #chronicpain #anewday #disability #mobilityimpaired

Explaining to someone that disability isn't always so black and white and you should just try to understand why they do/say something and not fucking fight me on it would be nice for once!!!!

point access block reform + elevator reform enables a missing midrise revolution

Good on the Dems. (The reason why these restrictions on presidential powers aren’t typically done is because the president doesn’t typically try to end constitutional government.)
