Since new Swedish and Finnish civil defense and preparedness guidelines are out today, here is an excerpt from the brochure sent to every Norwegian household a few weeks ago.
The official recommendation is to be prepared to be self-sustained for a week.

Stories like these seem quaint at this point since this will not matter at all. It might elicit a slight grimace of concern from Susan Collins, but there are few Republicans left who care about people pal-ing around w/ genocidal white Christian nationalists. Trump ate dinner w/ Nick Fuentes, FFS.

Maybe this is vague, so let me be clear:
Trump returning to power is itself the end of the constitutional order, one heralded by his failure to be disqualified from the ballot as required by the US Constitution, for his attempt to overthrow it by force. Everything happening after deepens the break.

The way I've been resisting this is just thinking about how the signs of a fundamental constitutional break are accumulating. Trump as president is a violation of the 14th Amendment; an (alleged) criminal as AG inverts justice; putting a Russian intelligence asset as DNI betrays US nat'l security...
Please do not normalize these radical, extremist, unqualified and highly compromised nominees. I beg you.
