@sceneonradio.bsky.social @celesteheadlee.bsky.social @chenjerai.bsky.social I just finished a re-listen of seasons 2-4, & I feel like we need a mini-season revisiting it all through the lens of our current moment. I learn something new on every re-listen, but this was something else entirely. 1/2

I keep seeing people say things like, “Well we’re not going to HAVE elections,” and with all due respect, I think this is both wildly pessimistic and also wildly naive.
We are not going to have free and fair elections. We also have not had them in the past.

How Trump twisted the law to protect white men from discrimination
"Protected class" began as an aid to the disadvantaged. Now, it is a tool for the oppressor.

This guy gets it: Trump's autocratic attempt is going well. They don't care what most of the US thinks, and vanishingly few of his voters regret their vote because trans people and immigrants are being hurt more than they are being hurt.
The hopium is wild to see. No, Trump isn't "fucked." He is in a moment many fascists were, which is to say losing popularity once in power.
But that is why authoritarians take power: so no one can take it from them. Popularity doesn't matter as much when you're in complete control.

My takeaway from this: He is so fucked.

Amazon is down 2% on the open after news that the President of the United States is upset at its private business decisions... What do you call a country where citizens and business leaders are afraid of retaliation by the executive if they don't publicly support his policies?

If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, the courts are unlikely to stop him.

This is sad, and I’m sure there are tons of similar stories that aren’t getting any attention. It’s easy to jump to “I never thought the leopards would eat my face”, but I think it’s more productive to persuade folks like this join the opposition to this admin.
This is a very sad story, but what makes me crazy is that people tried to explain that this is what would happen and got caricatured as "woke" hysterics www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Just to spell this out: you, too, are not breaking the law. Versions of this could happen to any of us.
NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.
The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.
No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

It’s been 7 weeks. Where do you think this ends? How do you think this realistically plays out 2-3 years from now? What happens when they run out of targets? When will you become the next target?

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

They don’t care about us at all; they just want the rich to get richer.
CBO Report: To achieve budget goals, GOP must cut Medicare or Medicaid
What are those goals?
-$4.5T in tax cuts for 800 billionaires & a few hundred billion dollar corps, many of whom only currently pay less than 5% tax
That's it. That's the GOP goal. Steal from the poor to fund their rich donors.
