We voted down Right to Work. We passed both medicinal and recreational weed. Missourians voted for a higher minimum wage and guaranteed sick leave. We legalized sports betting. We legalized abortion.
And then we elected a Republican Governor and a GOP supermajority

1/ Several people have asked me why there is still such intensive investigation about the NOLA terrorist if it's know he was a lone wolf. In addition to confirming that & trying to understand how he was radicalized, there is an additional & critically important task here.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat writes books on authoritarianism. I recommend subscribing to her substack. We must pay attention to what's going on with Trump/Musk. Democracy was already teetering.

As I explained here with Ana Cabrera, selective prosecution and vindictive prosecution are not the same as an unreasonable exercise of discretion, which is how I see the charges against Hunter Biden.

What stands out and alarms me the most is how hard we had to work to pass the income tax to fix this. Now he wants to take us backwards again.

I’m listening to all of you who disagreed with my take on the Joe & Mika trip to Mar-a-Lago and am finding myself moving in your direction. That’s what I like about BlueSky. On X, the disagreement would’ve been too ugly to make me rethink.
They might actually be afraid of Mango Mussolini, but it reads as bending the knee before him. They've lost me as a viewer.

The fascists (www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/f...), pop their heads up again. They don't mention this backstory at school or in the news. That's why Heathercoxrichardson.substack.com is such an important source of truth.

Trump is not playing 3D chess with cabinet picks. He wanted Gaetz and thought he could bully Republicans into confirming him. Same with Hegseth. He doesn't have a mandate or a large enough majority to install these clowns. Gabbard and RFK are also going to be huge issues. He doesn't have the votes.

This isn't just Trump performing his "WWE style how to run a whole country show. " This is Putin running his "take over the whole world show."
Is it too late to win against global fascism again?
