🚨1000 authoritarian actions. 7 months🚨

I've been tracking Trump's authoritarian actions. From dismantling democratic institutions to militarising immigration enforcement, Trump is reshaping America.

As these political and personal purges continue, important agencies will become unable to perform their basic functions, and at some point will only be able to spread the purges into the larger society.

The Trump Administration is actively erasing US History-Black History.

Removing the Woolworth’s Sit-in counter is symbolic, it’s intentional, and it’s only the beginning of their efforts to erase anyone who isn’t a white man.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.
