Trump’s Fake Emergencies are Straight Out of the Authoritarian Playbook Five (other) instances when President Trump used baseless "emergencies" to seize unwarranted power

What Trump did this week in D.C. is straight out of the authoritarian playbook: declare a fake emergency to seize power. It isn’t the first time.

@normeisen.bsky.social and I highlight five other examples since the beginning of Trump’s second term:

a reminder that children ARE a marginalized group and vulnerable members of society. they are being disappeared in droves, the foster care system robs them of their agency, lawmakers are trying to make it so that 14 year olds are considered adults for marriage and consent laws....

Police have set up a checkpoint and appear to be stopping every single car on 14th st NW, between W+V, here in northwest DC. Some cars are being pulled over after being stopped.

Some police are wearing “HSI police” vests (Homeland Security Investigations)

Trying to cling onto sanity while surrounded by people who refuse to read the news about world events.

Wake up we got early call 🗣️

AA aliens? This timeline is stupid.

I don’t even assume ppl understand English anymore I just Google translate and hold my phone up to their face.

Let’s keep it simple.

It is so relaxing to eat sweet treats and curse people under my breath.

YouTube video by CBS Evening News DACA recipient with no criminal record detained by ICE

“He said DACA was canceled, that I would stand no chance in stay in the country.”

That’s the lie an ICE agent told “Edgar,” a DACA recipient, during his detainment months ago.

This administration terrorizes our communities with deception. They lie because cruelty is the point.

If you think this administration will refrain from harming anyone opposite of their party, I got a store to sell you. Things are about to get extremely violent.

This was always the intent. Hence the withholding of funds to cause destruction of elderly and disabled.

This was the subject of the last hour of the @mrjamesob.bsky.social show.

The "free speech" lot want to take us back to the 70s to mid-90s environment where public misogyny, racism, homopobia, and so much more were everyday norms and were widely acceptable.

They can get f***ed.

Whipping a car wrapped in DEI really had folks pissed.

Trump is a convicted criminal

I get to drive the #disabilitypride company car today 😊

it's inconsiderate to email me in the morning, as I've just woken up, or in the middle of the day as I'm trying to go to lunch, or in the afternoon as I am about to get off work and you're emailing me rn??

The push against ableism isn’t just about individual rights.

It’s about dismantling broader systems of oppression that marginalize disabled individuals daily.

Wake your ass up.

We got early call and somebody better bang out so I can get OT.

Orange and white cat is sick of the bullshit

Am just so feddup with all tha maroons whomst are runing tha country

They were warned about Trump.

Taking deliberate action to hurt marginalized groups leads to severe consequences.

This is harassment and illegal. It’s revenge corn.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”
