Once again, we must stop re-litigating every policy debate in 🇺🇸 politics on the turf of the far right authoritarian party & using the jargon of their talking points.

Turning Points and Authoritarian Escalations
Is America’s descent into autocracy accelerating or is Trump struggling to break through the democratic defenses? In Minneapolis, MAGA's worldview is being refuted.

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

I wrote about the limits of the authoritarian assault – and the need to push back against the idea that America is inevitably and irresistibly marching towards a Trump dictatorship.
Trump’s authoritarian desires are limitless. But his ability to impose them on America is not.
Resistance matters.

Within living memory, when presidents invoked the Insurrection Act, they did so in circumstances that were extraordinary and in line with how the drastic act was intended to be used.
No such circumstances exist right now.
