Absolutely. Grind it to a halt.
Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Trump's Week 1 flood of executive orders shows how these twin pillars—cruelty to enemies and loyalty from followers—lay the groundwork for dismantling democracy. @kimlanelaw.bsky.social explains.

It never was about those things, but it has never been this blatant.

I tend to stay even-keeled about this stuff. I am not alarmist, I report the news as accurately as possible.

But the language is scary. It is precisely the dehumanizing language used to justify atrocity.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.

No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."

Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."

It's a big step towards very bad things.

A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world
And bear the palm alone.”
