And who's going to prosecute? Bondi’s DOJ? Trump is immune and he can just pardon his lackeys before he leaves office. There are truly no guardrails left.

Dismantling the VRA is their plan. An all out attack on black/brown representation that would give Republicans a hammer-lock on power.

A potentially 20-plus house seat shift. Pay attention.

Usually a solid sign of authoritarianism is when the military won't let you report on them honestly.

One awful thing about living in a police state is how anyone can turn informant.

Pissed off at an immigrant or even a citizen of color? Pick up a phone and make their lives hell, maybe forever.

Even if the call never gets made, even if you’d never, the threat hangs over every interaction.

If it doesn’t happen soon, Trump will manufacture the crisis and ensure that it happens. We’re dealing with rats trapped in a cage knowing if they lose power they will go down for high crimes. They’re going to start a war before we get to them.

The Founders tried to construct a government that featured all kinds of guardrails to protect liberty. They didn’t want to count too much on uncommon courage or wisdom from the people. And yet that's what it's coming down to.

It’s Getting Worse.

The Trump administration’s assault on the rest of us is intensifying.

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

I think so, but right now the future is looking very grim. People were hopeful we could take back Congress in 2026, but SCOTUS will gut voting rights (John Roberts lifelong dream) and GOP will control Congress for a long time. Look how many Americans love the brutality we are seeing every day.
