@dahlialithwick.bsky.social In the Three Faces of Trumpism podcast, one view was Trumpism is simply effecting change as movements always have (e.g. FDR), so relax (my word, or maybe Stephen Miller's).

That's like saying 'the Earth has changed climate before, so, don't worry about tipping points.'

And yet, and yet, the MAGAts still cling to Trump like flies on 💩

This should be Musk's legacy. Not Tesla, not Space X, not Twitter/X, but that he destroyed so much of our democracy and countless lives.

Paul is "100% spot on..."

...except for the part about this being "the biggest issue that needs to be dealt with."

Trump's lawlessness, authoritarianism, tendency toward fascism, and overall disregard for democracy are bigger issues, imho.

Don’t give up America ⬇️

My backyard menagerie this morning

That violent destructive video games far outweigh peaceful constructive one says something about human nature...

...and supports the theory that intelligent civilizations eventually wipe themselves out.

U.S. to photograph Canadian travellers when they enter and exit at all land borders, airports | CBC News The United States is expanding its facial identification program for travellers, with the goal of collecting images of non-U.S. citizens entering and exiting the country by all modes of transport.

If you’re Canadian, there’s a simple way to avoid this:
*never, ever visit the USA.

Why give your money to a dictatorship that wants to destroy our economy so it can annex us?

Being a Navy vet, I've wondered what I would do if given a questionable order. I suspect that much like civilians confronted by police with, "Do what I say, or be arrested," most us, not knowing the exact limits of law, would relent. It's worse for enlisteds, especially at sea.

Is Trump off his rocker? The evidence piles up.

After the stench of Trump is excised from the WH, ballroom demolition should be crowd-funded.

In its place, a black-tiled reflection pool filled with pyrite–a monument to the false gods of corporate greed and despotism that nearly ended democracy.

(Assuming we survive...

These are painfully excellent. But she's right: tolerable w/o actually hearing/seeing the old dotard.

They invest the pixels they saved into a dot.com fund

@karaswisher.bsky.social On a recent Pivot podcast you and Scott suggested the only reason Trump would build a 3-yr+ project like the ballroom was bc he intended to stay past '28.

It seems as or more likely he's building a legacy monument, and like a dog, marking territory.

Depths, its depths.

New depths of stupidity...

It should be fairly evident by now that MAGA is not the Party of Reagan.

And that they don't GAF about Ronnie's common sense or compassion.

ALL true, except possibly 'ruining farmers & ranchers': there is NO doubt he'll buy them off again with tariff proceeds (AKA our $).

Even MORE reason to remove him from office (and his ballroom from history).

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

One has to wonder what the rich think their AI endgame will be after they've automated everyone out of a job who then won't be able to afford the products that make the rich rich.

Perhaps their endgame really is to get rid of us all and be pampered by their AI robots. 🤔

I suggest that after Trump is turned out, his ballroom be demolished.

I'm sure that'll cost far less than $300M and easily be covered by public donations.

And in its place we erect a small pyrite monument to remind us how we almost lost democracy to a craven despot.

We have a GOP that hates sharing power.

We have a Squeaker of the House who hates exercising it.

We have a majority who are going to shove it down their throats next November.

There's "considerable evidence" that Cruz is on Team Fascism.

He lies like Goebbels and kisses butt like, well, Goebbels.

This is America’s TERRORIST

Supported by GOP Cowards #NoKings

While resisting, we need to prepare for the despot's desperation: invoking martial law to stymy the elections.

And if that happens, we need to be prepared for civil war.

Australia stopped admission of criminals awhile ago; no need to let any in now.

I know today is a big day for all of us.

Please however don’t let this slip away.
