This post started from a sense of puzzlement.

The US constitution expressly provides that it is for Congress not president to set trade policy.

Yet Trump is setting not only US trade policy but recasting the entire international trade system, by executive order.

How was this possible?

My answer.

So Trump didn't know about the soldiers... and they didn't tell him about the Signal chat... who's really running the White House?

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent.

Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list.

This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts.

It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

Hello. Very specific post, here. I'm looking to contact people who know Lucca well in connection with a project. i don't mean people who have holidayed there & love it. I mean people with deep family connections who still visit & have relatives. Would be so grateful if you could get in touch.

🧵 I want to follow up this earlier thread by examining why the USA finds itself in the state it does at the moment; the process of disordered discourse capturing state institutions and how it inevitably results in a slide towards authoritarianism, a process we're seeing unfold before our very eyes.
What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

“It’s a sad spectacle to see a law firm …rendering itself into an instrument for lawlessness. It’s also a cautionary example of how lawyers should not conduct themselves as the Trump regime proceeds with its effort to replace the nation’s justice system with one governed by cronyism and corruption.”
While the Trump Regime is targeting lawyers for conducting themselves ethically, other lawyers are seeking to profiteer by aiding in Trump's assault on the rule of law, as I discussed here.

There’s a civil war going on in America, even though we don’t know it. It’s being fought in every government department, between resistors to, and accomplices to, autocracy. It’s being waged in the courts, in the media, and civil society. And it’s not over

It is important to ponder the possibility that Trump's America may be more aligned with Russia and North Korea, in terms of values, than liberal Western democracies. ~AA
