The consolidation of autocratic control over the legal profession, the judiciary, education & the media is happening right before our eyes. Pressure on businesses has already begun via the tariffs & extortion by the Trump administration. Congress has already abdicated its power. It will get worse.

He didn’t put his hand on the Bible when swearing in. Probably because that would set it on fire.

Anyone who says there wasn’t enough water in the reservoirs to fight the California wildfires NEEDS to watch this & help stop misinformation. Can we please get back to uniting as a country when there are catastrophic disasters? Lying only disrupts efforts to help people in need.

Many thanks to readers for pointing me to this. It confirms that the four accounts I blocked over the last two days were all disbots—disagreement bots—programmed to stiffly, politely, but somewhat unreasonably disagree with benign assertions. A foreign op is possible, yes, but also a commercial one.

I watched the movie The Apprentice last night. It showed how Trump’s mentor Cohen would do anything to “win”- even blackmail. I swear this is what Trump did to people like Lindsay and Marco - he has something on them, holding it over their heads. There’s a reason he won’t release the Epstein files.

This week we celebrate the time when a boatload of undocumented immigrants came to these shores to escape the oppression they were experiencing in their own country, and the peoples already living on this land helped them learn to thrive here.

The Pilgrims we celebrate this week fled the difficulties of living as an oppressed group in their own country for a better life. They arrived here and stayed, worked hard, built community. They were undocumented immigrants and we have a whole holiday built around them.

Like a mob boss, Trump is going to make all the media who have been against him come down to MAL and kiss the ring and vow compliance, under threat of ruining their life, isn’t he?
