I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Q: Why won't Trump accept the conclusions of his DOJ to not bring charges against Letitia James?
Leavitt: Trump has every right to express how he feels about these people who literally tried to ruin his life. He wants to see accountability

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

@arepublicif.bsky.social Suggestions, as if you’re not busy enough. I believe we need more education on why the Constitution and three branches of government were deliberately with checks and balances, what falls under state vs federal control, etc. Knowledge is power as well as motivation!

@democrats.org Edúcate people on the Constitution, why the three branches were set up, educate people on what powers belong to which branch,, state vs federal powers, military limitations, what a president is allowed to do with executive orders, etc. Knowledge is power!
