“A dictatorship [today] doesn’t come with tanks in the streets, it comes with phalanxes of lawyers and compliant courts,” said Kim Lane Scheppele, a Princeton University sociologist who has long studied the rise of autocracies around the world. “It’s all done legally, and it’s all done bloodlessly.”

Trump has said that he won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House — even though this is explicitly blocked by the Amendment.
But make no mistake: this is all part of Trump's bigger plan to usher in a dictatorship. Watch. youtu.be/WSxJRIiCNs8?...

The race for an open seat in the Wisconsin Supreme Court “is now a proxy battle for whether the American government at every level can be bought by oligarchs,” Ben Wikler, the chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, said.
Why Is Elon Musk Trying to Buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court Seat?

Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now?
This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

The Garland v. VanDerStok case was an attempt by the gun lobby to cut the knee’s out from under the ATF, and limit its ability to regulate ghost guns, helping protect gun industry profits at the cost of human lives.
SCOTUS' decision to uphold ghost gun regulations is a win for public safety.

The real story isn’t that the Trumpians let a journalist into a group chat, it is that they are plotting against Europe.
