Hitler began with deportations but they were expensive and began the killing. Trump supports immigrants being eaten by alligators and snakes, so a Hitler mustache and swastika are drawn on him because it's becoming real evident he's Hitler 2.0.

Cartoon "Killing Democracy with Congress". Trump seen from the back with his red tie dangling thinking "watch the shiny objects" holding a sword "big Beautiful Bill Project 2025". Lady Liberty is supine, thinks "selling me, my people, the military to the highest bidder". At the bottom smaller text (all text in calligraphy), "selling our lands for pennies on the dollar to billionaires" and "millions of new homeless, most small hospitals closing soon". Signed N.

Naked balloon cartoon of Trump, Fox News too small shirt, Independent Media in the sun shining light on Trump, Taco in front of his genitalia, Criminal Fascism clothes or shirts of Shiny Objects, Real President Miller, MAGA in Denial. Tiny shadow of himself below. Big yellow head and big open mouth with teeth, circle cartoon eyes small hands and feet. Shadow resembles a rat or platypus.

Whether it's people suing over the lies costing them money (ACT Blue donors who had to pay so much extra in billions to win races, Arkansas and NC families getting no FEMA $$ after disasters etc.), or PROTESTS, Fox News is a huge weak link for the GOP.
Cartoon titled "Trump Lies, GOP Lies, Project 2025" with an outline drawing of foot bones from the side, toes pointed to the left. " Fox News" is pointing at the Achilles Tendon.

Pity the nation whose people are sheep. And whose shepherds mislead them. Pity the nation whose leaders are liars where sages are silenced and whose bigots haunt the airways. Pity the nation that raises not its voice but aims to rule the world by force and by torture. And knows no other language but its own. Pity the nation whose breath is money and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed. Pity the nation. Oh pity the people of my country. My country tears of thee Sweet land of Liberty!

Sorry these are out of order some, but the page is on the bottom of the jpeg.
What is a country? The way its people govern themselves. Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

Those considering impeachment should also include Vance. He is closer to the relevant oligarchs than Trump, and more likely to be aware of the logic of destruction than he. The oligarchs have likely factored in, or perhaps even want, the impeachment and prosecution of Trump. Unlike Vance, Trump has charisma and followers, and could theoretically resist them. He won’t; but he poses a hypothetical risk to the oligarchs that Vance does not. Democrats who serve in state office as governors have a chance to profile themselves, or more importantly to profile an America that still works. Attorneys general in states have a chance to enforce state laws, which will no doubt have been broken. The Democratic Party has a talented new chair. Democrats will need instruments of active opposition, such as a People’s Cabinet, in which prominent Democrats take responsibility for following government departments. It would be really helpful to have someone who can report to the press and the people what is happening inside Justice, Defense, Transportation, and the Treasury, and all the others, starting this week. Federal workers should stay in office, if they can, for as long as they can. This is not political, but existential, for them and for all of us. They will have a better chance of getting jobs afterwards if they are fired. And the logic of their firing is to make the whole government fail. The more this can be slowed down, the longer the rest of us have to get traction. And companies? As every CEO knows, the workings of markets depend upon the government creating a fair playing field. The ongoing takeover will make life impossible for all but a few companies. Can American companies responsibly pay taxes to a US Treasury controlled by their private competitors? Tesla paid no federal tax at all in 2024. Should other companies pay taxes that, for all they know, will just enrich Tesla’s owner? Commentators should please stop using words such as “digital” and “progress” and “efficien…

just anti-American but anti-human. The people are just data, means to the end of accumulating wealth. They see themselves as the servants of the freedom of the chosen few, but in fact they are possessed, like millennia of tyrants before them, of fantastic dreams: they will live forever, they will go to Mars. None of that will happen; they will die here on Earth, with the rest of us, their only legacy, if we let it happen, one of ruins. They are god-level brainrotted. The attempt by the oligarchs to destroy our government is illegal, unconstitutional, and more than a little mad. The people in charge, though, are very intelligent politically, and have a plan. I describe it not because it must succeed but because it must be described so that we can make it fail. This will require clarity, and speed, and coalitions. I try to capture the mood in my little book On Tyranny. Here are a few ideas. If you voted Republican, and you care about your country, please act rather than rationalize. Unless you cast your ballot so that South African oligarchs could steal your data, your money, your country, and your future, make it known to your elected officials that you wanted something else. And get ready to protest with people with whom you otherwise disagree. Almost everything that has happened during this attempted takeover is illegal. Lawsuits can be filed and courts can order that executive orders be halted. This is crucial work. Much of what is happening, though, involves private individuals whose names are not even known, and who have no legal authority, wandering through government offices and issuing orders beyond even the questionable authority of executive orders. Their idea is that they will be immunized by their boldness. This must be proven wrong. Some of this will reach the Supreme Court quickly. I am under no illusion that the majority of justices care about the rule of law. They know, however, that our belief in it makes their office something other than the undigni…

work and sold them and kept the money. And that this was the most efficient thing to do. And that you should thank them. The gap between the oligarchs’ wealth and everyone else’s will grow. Knowing what they themselves will do and when, they will have bet against the stock market in advance of Trump’s deliberately destructive tariffs, and will be ready to tell everyone to buy the crypto they already own. But that is just tomorrow and the day after. In general, the economic collapse they plan is more like a reverse flood from the Book of Genesis, in which the righteous will all be submerged while the very worst ride Satan’s ark. The self-chosen few will ride out the forty days and forty night. When the waters subside, they will be alone to dominate. Trump’s tariffs (which are also likely illegal) are there to make us poor. Trump’s attacks on America’s closest friends, countries such as Canada and Denmark, are there to make enemies of countries where constitutionalism works and people are prosperous. As their country is destroyed, Americans must be denied the idea that anything else is possible. Deportations are a spectacle to turn Americans against one another, to make us afraid, and to get us to see pain and camps as normal. They also create busy-work for law enforcement, locating the “criminals” in workplaces across the country, as the crime of the century takes place at the very center of power. The best people in American federal law enforcement, national security, and national intelligence are being fired. The reasons given for this are DEI and trumpwashing the past. Of course, if you fire everyone who was concerned in some way with the investigations of January 6th or of Russia, that will be much or even most of the FBI. Those are bad reasons, but the reality is worse: the aim is lawlessness: to get the police and the patriots out of the way. In the logic of destruction, there is no need to rebuild afterwards. In this chaos, the oligarchs will tell us that ther…

Christopher Majka tornospdSeeu8yc6a1rf6i6ha02ffacm5gg641 4i668ii2tl2rl1uFabhgu · This is a shrewd a summation of the current coup in the United States and the crisis it is generating. Thoroughly recommend. American friends take note: It can and must be resisted if your country is to survive as a constitutional democracy. - - - - - - - - - - THE LOGIC OF DESTRUCTION - AND HOW TO RESIST IT By DR. TIMOTHY D. SNYDER, Richard C. Levin Professor of History at Yale University What is a country? The way its people govern themselves. America exists because its people elect those who make and execute laws. The assumption of a democracy is that individuals have dignity and rights that they realize and protect by acting together. The people who now dominate the executive branch of the government deny all of this, and are acting, quite deliberately, to destroy the nation. For them, only a few people, the very wealthy with a certain worldview, have rights, and the first among these is to dominate. For them, there is no such thing as an America, or Americans, or democracy, or citizens, and they act accordingly. Now that the oligarchs and their clients are inside the federal government, they are moving, illegally and unconstitutionally, to take over its institutions. The parts of the government that work to implement laws have been maligned for decades. Americans have been told that the people who provide them with services are conspirators within a “deep state.” We have been instructed that the billionaires are the heroes. All of this work was preparatory to the coup that is going on now. The federal government has immense capacity and control over trillions of dollars. That power was a cocreation of the American people. It belongs to them. The oligarchs around Trump are working now to take it for themselves. Theirs is a logic of destruction. It is very hard to create a large, legitimate, functioning government. The oligarchs have no plan to govern. They will take what they can,…
