The inherent upward trend to authoritarian rule continues under Trump’s administration. Americans need to keep noticing and voicing their concerns. Our courts need to stand up for democracy. We need to change this direction through voting.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Propaganda is not just misinformation; it’s a tool to shape perception, silence dissent, and control societies. Its danger lies in its ability to make lies feel like truth and manipulation feel like choice.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Those bonehead Republicans managed to convince their base that trans women in sports was a huge issue—without showing a damn shred of data.
They never drop facts because that would wreck their narrative. Look at these numbers…
Less than 10 trans athletes out of 510,000 NCAA athletes nationwide.

A king in the White House, utterly unrestrained & above the law.
A party in control of Congress, utterly devoted to the king, and not the Constitution.
An unelected oligarch, the king’s patron, firing federal employees & taking control of federal databases.
Yes, it’s a constitutional crisis.
