@sarahkendzior.bsky.social does an incredible job of identifying the hidden hands moving events. And gives specifics rather than vague allusions. If you aren't staying up to date on her books and other content then you are willfully flying blind through the current chaos!

I'm grateful that if I post that Stephen Miller is a hateful dickbag on social media, no one can fire me from MSW Media because I own it. I might not be your cup of tea, but thanks to all who support independent media 💙🙏

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.

Get your lies straight.

When Trump says that upholding the Constitution and ensuring the rights it guarantees people would slow down his agenda, he’s admitting that his agenda ignores the Constitution and violates people’s rights.

He’s breaking the law and doesn’t think anyone will stop him.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments.

If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

“You’re reminded that the key to realism isn’t necessarily a convincing prosthetic or a well-timed spurt of blood; it’s the weight of time itself.” @justincchang.bsky.social reviews Dea Kulumbegashvili’s extraordinarily bleak and devastating new film “April.”
“April” Is an Unflinching Portrait of a Doctor’s Fight for Reproductive Justice
In Dea Kulumbegashvili’s film, Ia Sukhitashvili plays a Georgian obstetrician who views a woman’s right to choose as an unshakable moral imperative.

The tanking polls so early on is maddening because it’s not like we did not know who this dude was. He sucked the first time, he told you he was going to do stupid things, and a much more qualified candidate who only wanted to help you buy a house and live a better life tried to tell you too.

Authoritarianism
He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Bates: He inherited an economy that was the best-performing in the world. But in just two months, he’s crashing that economy with the biggest tax increase on middle-class families in 50 years—raising the prices he promised he would lower, and breaking his number one promise to them.

What I’m reflecting on today is how every aspect of American life failed to stop the economic catastrophe that’s about to befall us (and by extension the world).

The media. Our education system. The other two branches of government that are well within their rights to end this.

Everything failed.

Tariffs will be a potent and unilateral mechanism for reintroducing systematic corruption into our economy.

First, Trump can raise or lower tariffs unilaterally.

Second, he can grant exemptions, forcing people, corporations, localities, nations, and foreign actors to seek reprieve on bended knee.
Trump’s tariffs give him a new way to dole out reward and punishment
The president's latest power grab will devastate America's economy—and its democracy.

The Trump story has always been a crime story first. His pardoning of convicted J6 thugs is just the next step in his effort to destroy the rule of law and increase the climate of violence and intimidation.
