Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I donโ€™t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Itโ€™s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

I donโ€™t have a crystal ball, but I have a good idea how this shutdown ends. Trump and Republicans will cave (he wonโ€™t admit heโ€™s caving, of course, but he will cave).

Hereโ€™s why: Air traffic controllers.

The government is shut down, millions of Americans are suffering, and this dipshit is golfing on our dime today.

If you wonder how bad the Epstein Files are for Donald, he had the federal government shut down so you wouldn't find out.

Text card: Listen for dangerous words.
Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

When an authoritarian, thin-skinned president forbids me to criticize him, some hear that as a threat, but I hear it as a challenge.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, itโ€™s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Union representing CDC employees re: ousted leader Dr Susan Monarez:

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others โ€” Congress, the courts, the American people โ€” from having a say or even knowing what heโ€™s going to do next.

This is what dictatorship looks like.

Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America โ€” which we donโ€™t currently have.
