If you're not prepared to declare his presidency and all his official acts, including the appointment of judges, illegitimate, we'll be stuck with a judiciary teeming with partisan hacks for 40 years. Going along with his presidency as if it's real has been a huge mistake
Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021?
Trump nominee: *dodges*
Trump nominee: *dodges*
Trump nominee: Well, individuals entered the Capitol.
Blumenthal: You are in fear—how will you have the courage to be fair and impartial?

The dehumanizing refusal to acknowledge the existence of transgender Americans, framing it as “ideology,” coupled with legal efforts to criminalize their medical care echoes the darkest chapters in human history.

This regime is making moves that indicate genocidal intent toward transgender Americans.

The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.
Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

Trying to forecast the future is prone to uncertainty, though I am probably closer to the alarmist end of the spectrum.
This article is most useful in highlighting the dismissals of such warnings. Big question is why? Normalcy bias? Not being vulnerable?

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

Brooks should be driven out of public life. The fact that he knew there were photographs of himself with Epstein and he didn't disclose that while also telling people that they should move on is just straight up unethical.

The collective delusion here is useful in that it has provoked conservatives to dispense with decades of bootstrap rhetoric and reveal what they would say if they thought black people were people, that is to say, if these things were happening to them

“Centrists provided cover for Trump and his supporters by joining the chorus of Republicans who treated Kirk’s death as a more significant tragedy than the tens of thousands of fatalities caused by gun violence in the US every year,… 1/2

The USA has far-right Republicans and less far-right Republicans. That's what the two-party system is, and if you listen to a lot of Democrats right now, they not only romanticize the Bush era, but they also are to the right of that version of the GOP on a range of issues like immigration.

ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security. It's a "papers-please" America where freedom is conditional and innocence comes last.

the "right to defend itself" can really only be read as a motte and bailey in relation to violence when it is being used in reference to a state that occupies the territory of three other countries simultaneously and bombs another three with impunity. And yet there is no criminalization (rightly so)

Equally true of "Israel has the right to defend itself" as well but nobody calls to criminalize this phrase. Think this is the discrepancy.
