Comes as hundreds of EU politicians demand EU resources to protect the flotilla — and as Spain & Italy deploy ships to do so.

Trump Needs Public Cooperation to Enact a Fascist Vision. Here’s How We Refuse.
Our resistance to fascistic policies must be grounded in our sense of justice, rather than arguments about what’s legal.

Exactly this. The point of the FBI Director having a ten-year term was so that it would cut across presidential terms. "Trump announces FBI pick" is not a normal thing.
This is what has me so crazy about Kash Patel. Everyone has jumped right to the merits of Patel and no one has even paused to say, “Presidents don’t get to fire the FBI director without paying a huge political price.”
There seems to be a vast under-appreciation for the lines we’ve crossed and the world we’re in.
Trump’s win has basically put us in a post-rules world.
People in power don’t feel constrained by rules and any remaining checks don’t feel empowered to be checks.
This reality has not set in yet.

If you give Black children “resilience” then “the inevitable racism” will “bounce off” them like they are “the Avengers” because “they will be immune to it” and “then we don’t have to stop racism altogether, because we’re never going to be able to do that.”
