Autocracy would not work with our system of governance called federalism. It's a system of governance that divides power between a national government and state governments. US Constitution recognizes system of dual sovereignty no king

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

Whether it’s women he assaults, people he defrauds, police officers defending the Capitol, or countries invaded by murderous dictators, Trump always blames the victims.

One of the critical differences between Hungary and Poland versus what we are seeing in the United States right now is the complete dismantling of the administrative state. That didn't happen in Hungary. It didn't happen in Poland. Hell, it didn't even happen in Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was never held accountable for Samoa.
If/when he is responsible for diseases spreading, this time around, he better be indicted when we take over. He's only here because once again, we ignored the crimes of wealthy white men.

i am going to fucking lose my mind, this is not an actual proposal, it’s brain poisoned nonsense drawn up by some musk toady on twitter, it assumes savings that are totally implausible and being contested in federal court, stop responding as if they’re real
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett says sending each American $5,000 checks from DOGE wouldn't be inflationary because inflation only happens when the government spends money. (???)

BREAKING: GOP Senator Susan Collins says she’ll vote AGAINST Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI Director:

The Democrats are running scared. They have security if necessary. The American people are out there among militarized cops. We have to shield the protesters with our bodies. We are willing to hold the line for freedom. The alternative is a non starter. The courts are now only defense.
