NEW EPISODE: One year into Donald Trump’s second term, I discuss the collapse of democratic guardrails as big law firms, legacy media, corporate elites, and government institutions capitulate, collaborate, or stay silent while democracy is under sustained attack.

Watch and share.

Trump's weirdness doesn't get more outrage, because at this point Trump supporters strip out the audio of whatever Trump is saying and replace it in their heads with what they want to hear, like Homer Simpson watching a movie in his head when he's bored. /1

He BROKE the law.

He did not “defy” federal laws.
He didn’t “sidestep”them.

He broke them.
Hard-hitting analysis from NYT. As you can see from the diagram, legal impediments are a weak gray box that can be defeated by a strong orange arrow and bold typeface

Actual and suggested NYTimes homepage for May 11/2025, @nytimes.com. My thoughts on the coverage this moment in history is calling for.

A couple days ago, in the NY times, there was a very important article about how you know when you are no longer a democracy. Spoiler alert, the tell is that people cannot criticize the government without being targeted. It was a good reference point to help people place... 1

It can never be forgotten that one of the first social media campaigns Russia ran in the US was promoting anti-vax sentiment. Why? For it would cause Americans to die and rip apart our social fabric.
Just deranged. This was a *solved* problem.

He likes Putin because he heard he was the world's richest man. Same for Elon. Now he is trying to get a position controlling the Catholic faith. Devotion? Vatican assets? Will ponder.
President Trump posting an image of himself as Pope. We aren't a serious country, and he's not a mentally well man.

From over here in the Canada, I have been absorbing all the horror of the re-election of Donald Trump for some while, and watching with some consternation as the media seems to be trying to meld ‘business as usual’ with coverage of The United States’ rapid descent into fascism. Dear @nytimes.com 🧵

5,039 people.

That’s close to the same population as Vegreville. Edmonton has one Vegreville worth of people living on our streets, and the Provincial government’s plans to help (navigation centre, etc) have made no positive difference. Nothing but villainizing people trying to survive. Shameful.
There is A LOT going on in Alberta politics right now.

But this needs to be known.

Data just released this week shows that Edmonton has the highest number of folks experiencing homelessness we’ve ever had.

5,039.

Nothing from the UCP. No empathy. No plan.

We must do better.
