Unfit to Be the Ruler of a Free People: The Anti-American Presidency of Donald Trump
The Trump administration is an affront to everything good that America has become and everything America has ever sought to be.

Once again, I’m begging the media not to headline what Trump says he will do as if speaking the magic words dissolves reality
In the coming days you’ll see headlines like, “ICE Can Now Come Into Your House Without a Warrant.”
They will be false.
Trump’s Attorney General, who once accepted a bribe from him when she was FL AG, instructed her agents to ignore the 4th Amendment of the US Constitution.
That’s the story.

Great piece by @clarajeffery.bsky.social comparing the burgeoning anti-Tesla/Musk movement with the anti-apartheid movement of the 70s/80s. And not just because of Musk's South African roots.

Elon Musk, apartheid, and America's new boycott movement
If you think mass protests can’t combat evil, remember what we did in the 1980s.

Someone better tell DOGE there’s this guy working from home
As of noon on Thursday, Trump was president for 31 full days. He spent all or part of 16 of those days at four Trump Organization properties.

This morning, I called both Cruz and Cornyn using a modified version of Andrea’s script! #DidThisToday
![Hi, my name is [my name] and I live in zip code [mine]. I’m calling because I’m actively worried about the safety of air travel in, from, and around the United States. We have already seen multiple air crashes this year due to low staffing of air traffic controllers. And my fears are made worse by news that Elon Musk’s Space X — a private company with no track record in the field — is set to take over the FAA after Trump has already fired hundreds more controllers. Nobody, you included, has confirmed Musk’s unconstitutional appointment or even been asked to do so. Musk’s companies’ safety record is awful, for both employees and consumers, whether we’re talking rockets or cars. If you don’t stop Musk’s takeover, airports like AUS and DFW will suffer. And more importantly, more people using air travel will die.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6akvkyjmvvs6yuzj57duwh6o/bafkreifadar4fzgk4tbd42crwb65ymptktefmtezulrn7xi5veeadyjwxi@jpeg)

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

T*ump has no idea about the complexities of South African history or politics. I doubt he could find South Africa on a map.
Trump has accused South Africa of "human rights violations" and a land grab. The South African government has hit back.
