This is not "Trump is Hitler." It's "Things can get out of control quickly when you play with fire."

Hey Democrats: Maybe Now *Is* the Time to Fight?
Trump is racing to dismantle the rule of law before Democrats can make him unpopular enough so that other institutions can push back against him. Do the Dems understand this?

Trump has already had death squads before, they had a practice run in Afghanistan during his first presidency. The majority of the US didn't care, now he's calling US citizens terrorists. It only takes a few signatures and complete media silence to know what comes next. #3E #EndImpunity

Part of the Republican / Trump play book is to have you running putting out ideological fires. From library readings, to deportations, to abortions, school shootings, and etc. A merry go round of stochastic terrorism meant to keep you terrified, busy, and blindly following their preferred narrative.

Bibles in AP US Gov in particular is a big story, especially if the College Board gets away without commenting on it
Pay attention to Oklahoma.
Bibles in classrooms isn't the big story.
The same legal teams behind the seeding of Dobbs are driving a case to create religious schools fully funded by the public & they've already petitioned the Supreme Court.
Understandably, everyone was focused on the election.
