Black Saturday: The Day the United States Ceased to Be a Constitutional Democracy Black Saturday, March 15, 2025, will be remembered as the day the U.S. ceased to function as a constitutional democracy. A sitting president defied a federal court order, proving that judicial authority no longer constrains executive power. This is not a warning—it is confirmation that democracy has already collapsed.

A sitting president openly defied a direct federal court order—and nothing happened. No intervention. No enforcement. No consequences.

Leadership is about doing the right thing and the right thing is to protect academic freedom. Cowering in fear of the orange mafia boss is not leadership. If you can't lead through turbulent times, step aside and make room for someone who can. #couragecrisis

The @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @senatedemocrats.bsky.social had best find their opposition footing or they will lose registered party members, donors and voters faster than Dorothy can tap her ruby red slippers. #couragecrisis

President Muskolini is official! www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

i think an important thing for people outside the US to understand is that elon musk seized control of the government today and most americans don’t even realize it happened.

Again: Trump just ordered 2 dams open to levels that would’ve flooded areas and farms, without warning, all to back up the lies he told about the fires — and the rivers don’t even flow to LA.

Locals panicked and they backed off.

Our problem isn’t an issue of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

I can’t believe we have titans of industry slipping million dollar bills into Trump’s inaugural g-string like it’s some bachelor party for the end of democracy.
