The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

From the NYT morning newsletter:
"Trump signed executive orders punishing two officials from his first term who opposed his 2020 election lies. He also targeted another elite law firm."

So it's come to this. We're cheering on the militarization of Germany as a bulwark against fascism. History is weird.

Hi All, I released the first part of my weekend update early (it’s all free) because what we are seeing is so extreme it needs to be said now. The USA is now openly admitting to helping Russia kill Ukrainians. Indeed, Trump seems to be enjoying it. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
