The best way for people who are opposed to Trump but worried about protests not being peaceful to help is to show up, join protests, and be peaceful.

Was the major questions doctrine meant to be a one-way ratchet, good for striking down Democratic presidential action but dormant during Republican presidencies? Let’s hope Roberts avoids that further black mark on the legitimacy of an already embattled court.

As a teen, I saw “Missing,” the 1982 film about people being disappeared by Pinochet’s regime. I read news about the Argentinian Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, searching for their own disappeared. I knew, too, about the Stasi in East Germany. Terrifying police states seemed inconceivable here.

If you think this is about small businesses, then I have a bridge I'd like to sell myself through a chain of faceless shell companies of indeterminate ownership.
There it is: Trump announces the US will not be enforcing its new shell company registry, which is the single-best tool to counter kleptocracy.

To treat the cruel shit Trump is doing like some kind of game, a "Wired/Tired," "Hot or Not!" breed of magazine science, is just gross— & it plays right into the reality TV of it all, the idea that fascist policies are a form of entertainment. My mind is blown that anyone okay'd it
