If you read one thing today, this weekend, or this month, let it be this essay by @edwardluce.bsky.social. It starkly depicts where we are in America, how and why those who have power in America have yet to effectively stand up to Trump and why they must start. Superb job by Ed.
"Such is their fear of jail, bankruptcy or reprisal, that most people I spoke to insisted on anonymity. This was in spite of the fact that many of the same people said Trump would only be restrained by powerful voices standing up to him." My Weekend FT essay. Please read it. on.ft.com/4hqblpr

Time to re-read Rosa Brooks' "How Everything became War and the Military became Everything"
As noted below, there's unfortunately decades of precedent, notably the Obama-directed targeted killing campaign, the kind that saw weddings bombed with the dead given as "roughly 30" almost every time. From the war on terror we're now on terror without war

In moments like these, I automatically have to think of Rosa Brooks book “how everything became war and the military became everything”. As they would say on DSR, Rosa, you were absolutely right. Not new, but astonishing how blatant it all has become..
Trump admin uses language, tactics of war against perceived enemies. “It’s a military language used by the government against its own people at a time, in fact, of relative tranquility,” says @mawaldman.bsky.social. “That’s really damaging, and it’s really rare.”
Trump deploys tactics and language of war against perceived domestic threats
It represents a dramatic shift in the use of the military, which has been focused for most of American history on threats from abroad.
