1) Supreme Court's ruling in 2010 for unlimited, undisclosed campaign contributions by private citizens
2) Rising income inequality

From the NYT, Constitutional Crisis: "Trump has called the bluff of our constitutional system: It works best when each branch does its job with alacrity. Trump’s opponents are filing lawsuits, but courts are slow and deliberative." Yep, this is how democracy dies. FIGHT BACK!

The Canadian MP called Trump what he is: a criminal. Now, which US leaders are doing this? Stand up to him, people, before it's too late!
"Gangster class from Mar a lago"🎯
Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Our beloved Canada is under threat.
The threat comes from the president of the US—a convicted felon and known predator. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk….

Per Time, nearly two-thirds of the executive actions Trump has issued mirror proposals in Project 2025, the 900-page policy blueprint created by the Heritage Foundation. This is no surprise. But I'm alarmed that so few journalists and Democrats are confronting him. Speak out against fascism!!
