A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

After pressure from the Justice Department, Apple pulled apps from its App Store that encourage reporting ICE activity. Google followed suit by pulling similar apps from its Play Store.
The government shouldn't be choosing what apps we can download, and neither should tech companies.

This is how Toni Morrison defines it:
“Fascism talks ideology, but it is really just marketing” “the narrow but protective chasm between governance and business disappears.” “so that we will find ourselves living not in a nation but in a consortium of industries”

“Fascism talks ideology, but it is really just marketing” “the narrow but protective chasm between governance and business disappears.” “so that we will find ourselves living not in a nation but in a consortium of industries”
inthesetimes.com/article/toni...
![It [fascism] is recognizable by its need to purge, by the strategies it uses to purge, and by its terror of truly democratic agendas. It is recognizable by its determination to convert all public services to private entrepreneurship; all nonprofit organizations to profit-making ones— so that the narrow but protective chasm between governance and business disappears.
It changes citizens into taxpayers- so individuals become angry at even the notion of the public good. It changes neighbors into consumers — so the measure of our value as humans is not our humanity or our compassion or our generosity but what we own. It changes parenting into panicking— so that we vote against the interests of our own children; against their health care, their education, their safety from weapons. And in effecting these changes it produces the perfect capitalist, one who is willing to kill a human being for a product (a pair of sneakers, a jacket, a car) or kill generations for control of products (oil, drugs, fruit, gold).
When our fears have all been serialized, our creativity censured, our ideas "marketplaced," our rights sold, our intelligence sloganized, our strength downsized, our privacy auctioned; when the theatricality, the entertainment value, the marketing of life is complete, we will find ourselves living not in a nation but in a consortium of industries, and wholl unintelligible to ourselves except for what we see as through a screen darkly.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gc4mqpfyskckxzss4n5bvuga/bafkreihjg5wwri22wjhcouhkzzbcmqcjcp2mhyjubpkjxrxrwoihsjslbu@jpeg)

These two things are true:
1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal.
2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

Hang on, a pause is by definition temporary. Permanent is the opposite of temporary. “Permanent pause” is an oxymoron, a contradiction. If you want to be president of the US, don’t you think you should learn English, @realDonaldTrump ?

Just a reminder- according to Trump and the Republicans when they were talking about Biden - covering up a President’s declining health and mental acuity is considered a criminal conspiracy.
