Trump’s DOJ just defied a Supreme Court order to return Kilmar Abrego Garciaβ€”wrongfully deported, now missing in El Salvador. This isn’t a delay. It’s open defiance. If the Court backs down, the rule of law dies with him. This is the moment. Actβ€”or surrender democracy.

Control over university teaching is a key goal of the extremists who have infested the US government. This directive to the Naval Academy is just the start. Pressure will come on state universities, then private ones. If the president can impound federal spending, he can dictate what is taught. 1/

Opinion | Lessons on Authoritarianism From Around the World Tyranny doesn’t happen overnight. Take it from the people who missed the first signs.

I know a lot of people are exhausted. And many have vowed to check out, tune out, etc.

But that's what they want--a public too exhausted to be outraged and utterly anesthetized to what is happening.

Even if you are taking a break from media, please watch this.

He snubbed the first woman to serve as VPOTUS while she was performing her duties.

And in doing so, he made his wife's professional moment about himself and his petty grievances.

LADIES, ALWAYS CHOOSE THE BEAR.
