NEW: Extraordinary moment as the Tunisian President confronts Trump’s Middle East adviser, Masad Boulos, with images of starving children in Gaza.

One shows a child trying to eat sand out of hunger.

“This is absolutely unacceptable. This is a crime against all of humanity.”

I’ve been tracking authoritarian-like actions of the Trump administration since Jan 2025.

In Feb, I introduced 5 broad domains of authoritarianism for the logged actions - then only 79.

As the number of actions has grown, I wanted to create a website that lets people explore them easily. 2/14

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly:

"No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."

"HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

Between 1,500 and 2,000 people attended Juneau, Alaska’s #NoKings rally today under clear skies. That’s based on a series of clickers used by organizers. There were 6-10 silent counterprotesters on the bridge above.

Huge turnout at the #NoKings rally in Hattiesburg, Missisisppi today, wrapping up and down both sides of the streets around City Hall.

I'd estimate that about 300 people showed up, along with 2 pro-Trump counter-protesters.

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husband—and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wife—fear was the official message.

But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

NYT found the “big beautiful bill” would be the largest transfer from the poor to the rich in a single law since at least 1990.

In fact, it would be the largest transfer *ever.*

Reagan’s low-income cuts were MUCH smaller - and his tax cuts were done separately. And before him, nothing comes close.
