Dick Cheney was a cruel bureaucrat who made corrupt institutions more abusive. Officials in those institutions then surrendered what was left of their morals to accommodate his evil vision. In time, those institutions became even more corrupt. What politicians say today will be revealing of the rot.

In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters.

Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...
Inventing Antifa
In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

We can participate in democracy and be flawed while also having non-negotiable. No nazis. No racists. We aren’t abandoning trans people. Triple the minimum wage. Universal healthcare. Reproductive freedom. Etc etc etc. Stand for something! Appeasement accomplishes very little.

It is not and never will be clear to everyone.
I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

It's easy to scoff at Trump designating as a "terrorist organization" something that's not an *organization* at all.

I have different view.

When you declare an idea rather than an organization to be terrorism, you can declare *anyone* a terrorist.

And that is what he will do.

This is horrifying.

I'm telling you as a Trump biographer that the man has no intention of there being a free and fair election in 14 months.

Things are accelerating—and accelerating for a reason.

By the time Fall 2026 begins, Trump needs America to have no expectation whatsoever of a meaningful midterm election.

Trump isn’t sending the National Guard into Memphis to fight crime. He’s sending the guard into our cities to get Americans used to the idea of armed troops in their streets so fewer will resist a Trump dictatorship.

President Donald Trump has announced the deployment of the National Guard to Memphis to combat crime, testing the limits of presidential power by using military force in cities.

at the center of the efforts to destroy civil society in russia, hungary, georgia and elsewhere is the stigmatization, harassment, & criminalization of NGOs. that's what this is about, a full-on assault on democratic debate & freedoms.

this is not hyperbole. it's right here.

Trump has declared war on Chicago and now his secret police are running racist ads in Edgewater.

Let’s be clear: ICE isn’t welcome here. Trump isn’t welcome here. And they’re certainly not going to recruit their goons from here.

I still think many Americans have no idea how bad this is going to get. I saw President Obama reposting a tepid, mealy-mouthed analysis by Ezra Klein—who's never seen a phenomenon he couldn't be 5 years late in incompetently circumscribing—and I felt like we don't have what it takes to survive this.

Bet they ignore everything they learn from it. No way they’re going to go against corporate Dems in any possible future elections.
Democrats may still be looking for lessons on electoral success after last fall. “Zohran Mamdani, the presumptive winner of yesterday’s New York City mayoral primary, might provide some of the answers—to a point,” Jonathan Lemire writes:

Fuck 47. Nice.
Sure sounds like The Draft Dodger named a warplane after himself without telling the military, then lied about it to America.

Shades of his secret, then lied-about comments on the military itself—which confirmed that he has nothing but contempt for it and everyone in it.

The Air Force may have been caught off guard or was just unprepared when President Donald Trump said the next generation fighter jet would be called F-47, documents obtained by FOIA Files suggest.

Lots of people thought it was funny when they lied in 2017 about the size of his first inauguration. Others of us knew how serious it was and where we were going.
Reporting puts the crowd at 10-35K—so that’s the first lie the Pentagon tells here.

The second is that, if real, the photo is from *after* the Trump birthday parade, when people gathered in an enclosed space for a nonpartisan fireworks display.

This is *intentionally* misleading, and DoD knows it.
