Friends, READ this! Spread it around. It provides #hope and strategy in the Second Age of #Trump. Reich embeds an amazing article by a Turkish journalist about how #autocracy arose in her country and her perspective on what's happening in the #U.S. Strategy #4 will be especially crucial.

Since Monday, Trump has: Halted civil rights investigations, suspended public health advisories, frozen infrastructure spending, rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors and another one aimed at lowering drug prices.

I don't agree with everything here, but some great concepts within! Re-establishing pre-1980 tax policy is one, among others, and he thoroughly explains *why*.
Well said. I believe that such a change is possible. I wrote about this issue last year. I would be pleased if this provides anything useful.

Trump’s vengeance machine isn’t only about retribution. It’s also intended to intimidate Trump critics — force them to think twice before sounding any alarms, and chill public knowledge or debate about what Trump is doing.

Trump is more popular than he has ever been. The media is softer on him than it’s ever been.
The chief task of the Dems, and of any self-styled #resistance, should be to puncture that bubble of popularity that he currently has in this honeymoon. To drag him - down.
Forget the bipartisanship BS.

This is unconscionable. Yes, the 184,000 US servicemen who died in Europe in WW2 were ultimately there for geopolitical reasons. But the goodwill engendered created a special bond. With Europe Trump is throwing away something hard-fought and sacred, and it's obscene in light of their sacrifice.

Trump's territorial ambitions and disregard for international norms are "serious, and potentially very dangerous," a senior European Official told the Financial Times.

It is clear Gabbard has been in Putin's pocket since at least 2015.
“Gabbard was unmoved by the indiscriminate Russian bombing or Assad’s repeated use of chemical weapons against his own people. Her trip…turned into a propaganda coup for the Syrian regime.”

I would be surprised if we didn't eventually find out rubles were involved too.

Indeed. Besides the possible (laundered) rubles, Putinism represents where they want to take America. Ironically, their putative hero, Ronald Reagan, would be aghast.
