It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

Still upset about no power of the purse language. You truly do hate to see it. The Trump admin undertook the most expansive set of illegal budgetary actions of any president in history, and broadcast as loudly as possible they’d keep doing it, and nothing. Budgetary lawlessness.

Q: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?"
Trump: "No. I think they haven't gone far enough”

Legally, this is no different from Iran sinking a Disney cruise in international waters and then saying "it's all good, they were terrorists carrying drugs."
Which is to say, it's wholly illegal and has been for centuries. You couldn't even do this with a Letter of Marque and Reprisal.

Another illegal US maritime strike—again in the Pacific.
Against a vessel allegedly operated by an unspecified "designated terrorist organization."
Four reported fatalities—dubbed w/o ID or evidence "narco-terrorists."
There's a word for premeditated killings outside of armed conflict.

If they don’t like the new neighbors, they should just move somewhere else. Like hell, yeah, they can go to hell.

trump's invulnerability primarily functions through the consensus that he is invulnerable
I am losing my gd mind seeing the number of people on here who are so doompilled that they cannot imagine that telling millions of people, including tons of MAGAs, that they’re out of food money and they also can’t have health insurance anymore might have any effect whatsoever on anything

There are laws about how to interdict suspected criminals on the high seas.
There are laws about how to renovate federal buildings.
There are laws about how not to monetize the presidency.
There are laws. We should enforce them. And not normalize the flagrant violation of them in the newspapers.

First, it staves off apathy, cynicism, and despair.
Second, it demonstrates to those who might use violence against innocent civilians that they would be doing so against grannies, kids, neighbors.
Third, it shows allies and partners that the America they need is alive.

Here is my question, and it’s an earnest one I promise: whose mind will it change and to what end?
I don’t have any answers about what we need to do. But like, we did protests in 2017, and 2020. Among the biggest in NATIONAL HISTORY. Voting in my opinion has a much more direct effect than this.

The numbers I am seeing, and the breadth of people and places with basically no arrests and so forth, seem to me an unqualified political loss for them. It is a show of strength rather than the fight itself, but you can’t downplay it.

This protest is a reminder that *there are more of us than there are of them*. They could never put this many people on the street. What they are trying to do is institute permanent minority rule, but our values, our culture and our solidarity will prevail.

Neutered is the exact right word, thanks @kairyssdal.bsky.social
Among the many amazing/disgraceful things about America 2025 is how completely Republicans in Congress have neutered themselves.
President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.
