Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Trump is acting like the wicked witch of the West or a fairy godmother (depending on your view). All he has to do is wave his wand and things like plastic straws and low flush toilets go away. What an abuse of power. maybe he’ll make US childhood poverty go away. 🥴😞

Watch this interview between Marc Lamont Hill and Chris Hedges on what I’ve been trying to get people to understand: Democracy doesn’t exist in the US. I’m not sure what folks think they’re fighting for but it ain’t democracy.

"The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

It would be helpful if more media outlets would cover the coup. If. I try discussing this with anyone who’s not Very Online, I sound like a nutter.
