The Second Lady is the child of immigrants.

Also can someone PLEASE explain to him the difference between insane asylums and seeking asylum. For the love of God. Please.
Trump on immigrants: "They send up their worst people. They send up people that are criminals. They send up people from jails. And the best ones they send are people that don't work very hard and that are on a social form of welfare."

Show up.

It matters.
Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that.
Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?
A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.

If your elderly relatives started telling you about AI videos they had watched saying that "medbeds" would fix everyone's health problems, you'd start to look into assisted living and power of attorney. Trump has the nuclear codes.
The President of the United States has posted a fake AI video of himself announcing a non-existent policy to give people access to a fake miracle cure that also doesn't exist truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT... We are fully through the looking glass, folks.

When Trump spews his bullshit about an American city, or university, or whatever, it’s vitally important that locals provide these simple but effective rebuttals

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

En sætning, jeg må have overset i den amerikanske forfatning (har ellers læst den grundigt)…
I just checked and this is actually written in the Constitution. Oddly, it's written in Sharpie.
Trump: "When 97% of the stories are bad about a person, that's no longer free speech."

If he thinks a few transgender people out of several thousand murderers is "a common denominator," wait until he hears how many of them were using automatic weapons.
House Speaker Mike Johnson: "At the end of the day, the problem is not guns, okay?"

Fox's Dana Perino: "Do you think there has to be some sort of accountability on the transgender front?"

Johnson: "I think so. It's a common denominator... Lawmakers and policymakers need to look at that carefully."

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.
