I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism.
When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless.
Understand what's going on.

Today in my Composition and Critical Thinking class, we watched some old WW2 Nazi propaganda. While I have seen most of this footage throughout my life, the parallel of what is going on RIGHT NOW in the U.S. is insane.

I agree with @pahlkadot.bsky.social here: Currently, I wish things were in the hands of Democrats instead of MAGA Republicans. I agree that systems of government should be analyzed to see what is working and what isn't and then overhaul to make it work better - but right now it feels too chaotic.
Trump’s government purge by Today, Explained
Trump is remaking the federal government in his name, says Vox’s Andrew Prokop. Efforts at a more efficient government may have a point, says Jennifer Pahlka, who co-founded the precursor to DOGE.

No matter how many executive orders he signs or statements he issues, our goal is the same:
We must fight to create an America based on economic, social & environmental justice.
