Too many Americans don't understand, at a basic level, *why* the Constitution requires due process when the government deprives anyone of their life, liberty, or property.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

5/🧵 Trump's attacks on judges—including Republican appointees—for unfavorable rulings reveals an authoritarian assault that should alarm us all. Demanding judicial loyalty over constitutional fidelity represents a dangerous erosion of separation of powers, the cornerstone of our Madisonian republic.

Great thread to help us with calm in the crazy.
When you’re in a relationship with a malignant narcissist—as we all are now with Trump—it’s important to stay out of emotionally reactive mode and instead to observe and act with detachment.
Emotional reactivity draws you into their defensive structure, and you can take in their toxic projections.
