Donald Trump wants to rewrite how our museums tell the stories of American history. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Living in 1984
The headline tonight reads, “White House to Vet Smithsonian Museums to Fit Trump’s Historical Vision.” It’s in The Wall Street Journal, not exactly a bastion of liberal views.

They feel so powerful that they just say it outright now. Once it became clear that the congressional Republicans would sell out their own constituents on Medicaid, there’s no reason to be coy.

TAPPER: 14 Republicans say you're risking undermining critical research by holding up NIH funding
VOUGHT: If they were a company, their stock price would in shambles. They in some respects caused the pandemic. You have an entire institute that does nothing more than DEI research at the NIH.

Voters respond to fighters (e.g., AOC, Pritzker, Booker) who do not hold back in attacking MAGA extremists. Prefer fresher voices expressing righteous anger rather than old fogies acting as if opposition is futile. Favor politicians who pledge dramatic change, not more of the same
Bluntly, democracy is in rotten shape. Despite heroic lawyering, growing protests, and dogged D opposition, the Trump regime has progressed in its quest to create a police state, seize poser from Congress power and intimidate law firms, universities, and media cos

When i read about the bounty bill to allow private actors to pursue anyone who helped facilitate an abortion for Texans, even out of state, I called it the “Fugitive Uterus Act”. Same dynamic, same reasons. The most restrictive state gets to define policy for all.

It is imperative to recognize and call out this regime's bigoted identity politics. Their treatment of nonwhite electeds amounts to Taneyism.
To them, these officials hold no authority they are bound to respect. Padilla, McIver, Baraka are merely the latest. They are doing this to POC on purpose.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
