The Quiet Coup: How Trump Is Undermining Democracy From Within Trump’s second term weaponizes distraction and bureaucracy, consolidating power and wealth while eroding democratic norms—an urgent wake-up call.

America isn’t drifting toward authoritarianism; it’s already arrived. The crowds, the chants, the carnival of grievance—that was Act One. The old fear was that Dump’s chaos would wreck the republic. He once ruled by impulse, now he governs through design.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I don’t know, maybe not a good thing that consumer spending is being completely driven by a billionaire class, jobs are being shed at breakneck speed, and the entire economy is resting on a historically large and precarious bubble.

It’s almost like capitalism is inherently self-destructive.

Russerne er økonomisk på røven. Om de også er det militært, må andre vurdere, men de er i hvert fald ramt hårdt på brændstof, fordi Ukraine har bombet en masse af deres depoter. Med efterretningshjælp fra USA, lader det til.

JD Vance follows Curtis Yarvin. They and powerful techbros want to completely "delete" the government and dismantle universities, businesses and our entire system. Replace it with a dictator to control the country including all businesses and schools. This is what propagandist liar Vance believes.

She called it. Kamala Harris laid out Trump’s vengeance agenda before it even happened.

One line that stuck with me most from 107 Days was when she wrote that during the debate, Trump was “unburdened by the truth.”

He’s also unburdened by threat of accountability, thanks to the Supreme Court.

I’m usually pretty skeptical of anything Trump says but his post about Biden’s FBI placing 274 agents in the crowd on Jan 6th is scary, if it’s true the sitting POTUS at the time needs a one way ticket to GITMO, am I right, MAGA?

Trump has expropriated TikTok U.S. (banned under the law) and is now on the verge of forcing its sale at a below-market price to cronies of his choosing. What could go wrong? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Tweet from Angry Staffer: “Great. I’m looking forward to Ken Paxton’s indictment.”
Below is a news headline: “Report: Texas AG Ken Paxton claimed three homes as primary residence.”
A second tweet from FBI Director Kash Patel says, “There simply cannot be, and will not be, different rules for different people.”

It’s always projection. Every prosecution is an admission.

Common cold, flu, Covid: Why is Britain so sick right now? Why coughs and colds seem to be taking hold currently - and what you can do to protect yourself.

"Most people will get one or two respiratory infections every year. In some ways, it's a good thing when you are a child or healthy adult.
"By getting exposed you are building up your immunity through natural infection…”

And we wonder why the average citizen is so clueless. 🤦‍♀️

I know it's not a full solution, but one way to stop AI in Google search results is to add "-ai" at the end of your search word or phrase.

Example: Why is Trump such a loser -ai

Or: AI damage to environment -ai

Or: Which countries have good AI regulation policies -ai

I just learned when doing internet searches like on Google you can put “-ai” at the end of your search and it will filter out any AI responses. It’s an annoying step but it works.

The museums are being shutdown.

Everyone’s being fired.

Food is rotting in our fields.
Are we great yet?
The market’s crashing greatly.
Diseases are now running rampant.
At what point aren’t we great?
Our military’s in line at food banks.
So super great.

Hvad skal der til, for at freden består? Her er seks læringer fra de gange, det faktisk lykkedes Hvad historiebøgerne kan lære os om at sikre varig fred i Israel og Palæstina.

Imperialisme er foragt for menneskeliv. “Læren fra konflikten, som vi gennemlevede i Nordirland, er den samme som alle andre steder: Der findes ingen militære løsninger på nogen af disse konflikter. Politik, dialog og diplomati er den eneste garanti for varig fred.”
