To a large degree the test of Democratic Party leaders in the next few years will be the ability to stand up to Trump-MAGA and defeat them. It will not be the only test but it will be essential. Resistance will reveal the heroes and heroines of the moment.

Yesterday I read many were excited about Trump’s market policies.
I wondered what actions could excite me in a government: a just society built on respect, non-violence, and science-driven decisions.
And realized no gov can be that specific—so radicalism feels easier. Easier, but for a minority.

Anyone who has studied the history of police states and surveillance can tell you invasions like this are a stalking horse. Extreme tactics like this are always tested on vulnerable populations prior to being normalized across society.

Have you noticed how difficult is to see Putin with an open smile in political encounters? Russians are not smiling people by nature in public spaces and neither is Putin.
He is obviously playing along. Not my sort of person, but he is clever. He only respect power, strength and proud.
