You don’t get to cut funding for kids and public schools and call yourself “education” anything.

Best,

The Education Governor

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail.

Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Schumer’s decision is an unconscionable surrender that shows he does not have what it takes to meet this moment, and the charade he pulled yesterday makes it even worse. Time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

Sorry, America. We can feed the elderly with Meals on Wheels or we can let billionaires cheat on their taxes. We can't do both.

That state of emergency law Trump plans to implement will be accompanied by martial law as it has been in other countries. #spookyconnections
Steps to Establish a Dictatorship Using a State of Emergency: Declare the Emergency Use real or exaggerated threats (e.g., terrorism, natural disasters, unrest) to justify declaring a state of emergency. Highlight the necessity for swift, centralized action to protect the nation. Expand Executive Powers Enact emergency laws or decrees granting extraordinary powers to the executive branch, bypassing legislative and judicial oversight. Suspend Civil Liberties Limit freedoms like speech, assembly, and press under the guise of maintaining public order and safety. Control Media and Information Censor dissenting voices and take over or co-opt media outlets to propagate the government's narrative and suppress opposition. Target Opponents Use emergency powers to arrest or silence political opponents, activists, and independent journalists, labeling them threats to national security. Extend the Emergency Indefinitely Use ongoing or new crises to justify repeatedly extending the state of emergency, ensuring no return to normal constitutional governance. Undermine Democratic Institutions Gradually weaken or dissolve democratic structures such as the legislature, judiciary, and independent agencies under the pretext of emergency reforms. Consolidate Security Forces Centralize control over the military and police, using them to enforce emergency measures and suppress dissent. Enforce Loyalty and Compliance Introduce measures like loyalty oaths or economic incentives to ensure support from influential groups, including business leaders and bureaucrats. Legalize Authoritarianism Pass constitutional changes or laws that embed authoritarian practices, solidifying long-term control even after the "emergency" ends.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
