People are rightly disgusted by this speech, but it’s a measure of fascism’s normalization that many see this as more of the awful same rather than what I think most of us who’ve been reporting this beat hear it as: a significant calculated escalation. Full alert stuff.
JD Vance gets the biggest applause of his speech so far when he says "by the grace of God we always will be a Christian nation"

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.
And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Traditionally, libraries have been built to keep the books away from heat and humidity, lest they become infested with mold. Therefore, I very much approve of situating the Trump presidential library near the Miami coastline.

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest:
Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes

Alligator Auschwitz explains more clearly what it is. Because Alcatraz was for actual criminals. This new Auschwitz is for people who are nurses and teachers and construction workers and other people who have paid over $90B a year into Soc. Security, which will now flounder.

Trump Launches America’s First Concentration Camp, Complete With Tacky Merch
Not content with just shipping people to a foreign concentration camp, Donald Trump now has his own, homegrown concentration camp in Florida. Trump, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gleefully toured the hastily constructed concentration camp in the Florida Everglades, obnoxiously referred to as Alligator Alcatraz, in reference to (1) the infamous island prison in San Francisco that Trump is obsessed with and (2) the number of alligators (and crocodiles — the one place in the world that has both) that live in and around the Everglades.

Both Rubio's tweet, and the response, are remarkable artifacts. You have a Secretary of State tweeting right wing talking points to defend Neo Nazis, and the country where Nazis originated telling him to sod off.
Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world
