The ‘dual state’ framework explains how a dictator can exercise power while life appears mostly ordinary.

Republican appointed justices prefer a hidden authoritarianism to one that is out in the open.

“There’s no explanation…that’s one of the frightening things about the shadow docket.”
The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

So no, Peter. Greta Thunberg isn’t the Antichrist... The Antichrist sits in a boardroom surrounded by screens, running a gov't contract to predict our sins before we commit them. The Antichrist smiles when we talk about freedom, because he’s already monetized it.

Oh, Peter Thiel.

History suggests institutional capture of this depth requires confrontation, persistence, and sustained pressure. The question then becomes, are we up for the task?

Hey MAGA. Guess who is coming for your guns? Hint: It ain't Obama.

YES! I've been wondering about this since SCOTUS crowned the King with Criminal Immunity & every other rubber-stamped pocket ruling since.

Solution: mass mobilization & internal fracture. Meaning states asserting independence & citizens demanding their state gov'ts act when the fed gov't will not.
What Can Be Done When the Supreme Court Is Fully Corrupted?
The answer cuts to the heart of democratic fragility

Trump is for peace abroad, but never-ending conflicts at home.

He has a long tendency to overwhelm things that could be good political news for him, because he can’t resist either going after his perceived enemies or just doing controversial things for the sake of dividing & aggravating tensions.

3/4 of those arrested at 26 Federal Plaza did not have past criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.

Officers routinely pull multiple detainees from their hearings, without giving them the chance to speak to lawyers.

Many immigrants no longer show up to court.

Obviously. Silver lining is that MAGA & military are noticing, too.

While Kirk’s murder was a blow to Trump allies, a month on from the event has provided cover for Trump's retribution drive that endangers civil liberties against the media, universities, non-profits, & other parts of civil society.

Trump has spent a decade painting large swaths of the United States as a hellscape. The message is increasingly that things are so bad that you must give Trump more power to deal with it.

As with so many of Trump’s claims, he rests his case on a series of falsehoods and exaggerations.

President Donald Trump has spent a decade painting large swaths of the United States as a hellscape, dating back to his dark 2017 inaugural address and his demagogic 2016 campaign.

As Trump has blown up one boat after another off Venezuela’s coast and declared an “armed conflict” against drug cartels, could Mexico, where far more drugs are made by some of the world’s most powerful criminal groups, be next?

Mali has imposed visa bond requirements ($5K to $10K starting on October 23) on US citizens identical to those Washington placed on Malian travellers, in a tit-for-tat response to moves that its government has condemned as a violation of bilateral agreements.
