Every single person in this picture should be in prison by 2030, just as Bolsonaro is.
We cannot avoid imposing consequences and still have a democracy. We should dedicate ourselds to that effort and demand our representatives call for it too.

This is a photo from the Vanity Fair article. Notice how they have to arrange it so Stephen Miller is on the end, so it isn’t obvious that there is no reflection of him on the mirrored table.🧛

If Trump launches an illegal war against Venezuela without congressional authorization Congress must impeach him immediately.
He has no legal authority to start a war. It’s insane, unconstitutional, and criminal.

Hey PNW, and Montana.
Are y'all ok?
Seriously. Since there is a ton of distraction. Washington state, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana are currently treading water.
Thankfully no loss of life reported as of now. Hopefully that will remain the case.

Stephen Miller’s top intellectual influences include Sam Huntington.
This is just one bit from an interesting deep dive on Miller by @gregsargent.bsky.social, but I wanted to highlight it for poli sci types.
Turns out dividing the world into supposedly distinct civilizations can be used for ill.

Steve Bannon tells us that among Stephen Miller's leading intellectual influences are Pat Buchanan, Oswald Spengler, and Samuel Huntington.
So we did a side-by-side comparison of some of Miller's language with Buchanan's.
