Trump busy bringing back measles, farm bailouts, ISIS, tax cuts for the rich, out of control military spending, conflicts with allies, millions without health insurance, food stamp cuts, military parades, pardons for drug traffickers, pollution, and foreign wars.

The mob mentality described by @aselrod.bsky.social is key. Other attitudes commonly portrayed are also corrosive: that social life is a competition, that wealth is paramount, that punishment for wrongs should be swift and extrajudicial, that aging and death are to be denied, more.

“Marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice” is the most accurate description of what we’ve been doing with internet’s easy access to “information”
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.

“this anti-social way of taking in the world around us corrodes the foundations of liberal democracy”
I wrote about the Olivia Nuzzi saga and how it reflects the voyeurism and indignity that drives so much of our media—social and otherwise.
This is an essay about elite excess, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and the crisis of our democracy.

American Freakshow: Our Reality TV-Driven Media Is Killing Our Democracy
The lurid details of Olivia Nuzzi's transgressions and the popularity of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives derive from the same culture of voyeurism.

It's easy to be numb because it's par for the course nowadays, but repeatedly calling a reporter who asks a reasonable question "stupid" is conduct unbecoming for a small-town mayor, let alone the President of the United States.
The press exists to play a watchdog role, not be a supplicant.

“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

During an event on Thursday, Donald Trump seemed to repeatedly struggle to keep his eyes open.
A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds found that Trump spent roughly 20 minutes battling to keep his eyes open.

Haver of Great Gatsby party costing undisclosed taxpayer funds, builder of $300M ballroom, taker of 70+ days golfing since January, seeker of $230M in personal damages from DOJ, holder of power to do whatever he wants with government...is *desperate* to feed Americans? Who's buying this?

This! A million times!
The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Okay I love the military too, but I can’t write a check for 130 million. this week I don’t have a spare 100 to send let alone putting a million after it. Maybe Trumps well intentioned friend should be paying a bit more tax? He could write a check to the Government that would go to lots of things.

An essential feature of authoritarianism is that the leader - not courts - decides who is guilty and who is not.
Santos - who Trump said is getting a commutation bc he “votes Republican” - is the 10th high profile loyalist to get a pardon or clemency.
We cannot accept this.

Authoritarianism doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires enablers. When a leader posts fantasies of monarchical rule, and his entire party looks the other way, they become complicit. The issue isn't just Trump's posts; it's the institutional decay of a party that refuses to be a check on his power.
