Here we go, another verification that we are in a dictatorship.
Andry Romero, a gay makeup artist came to the US last year in search of asylum. He did not show up for his scheduled court date - ICE had seized him & took him to brutal prison in El Salvador. His family is desperately worried. Senator request to see him was denied. Proof of life denied.

What do all the universities that Trump is targeting have in common?

Barron wasn’t accepted at them.

I hate it when my conspiracy theories come true.
I would say this sounds like another conspiracy theory if I didn't know @gilduran.com is legit, what he says checks out and it's... what's happening in front of our eyes

Heed the warning, y’all.
Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

If Trump sells permanent US residencies for $5 million each, can I sell my citizenship for $5 million and move to Italy?

“Post constitutional time”
New OMB Director Russell Vought claimed we are living in a "post Constitutional time"

Republicans are trying very hard to make sure this is true
North Dakota Republicans have introduced legislation to declare themselves a Christian nationalist state by “acknowledging the Kingship of Jesus Christ.”

This is a direct challenge to the Constitution.

Wait, I thought sending weapons to Ukraine was wasting money and should be kept at home. Ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip, future home of Gaz-a-Largo, luxury beach front development for Trump’s personal profit is okay?

Elon and his DOGE Department were not elected nor established by Congress according to Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the US Constitution. Musk is currently seizing a government agency (less that 1% of the budget) because they are investigating Starlink shutdown over Ukraine for Putin.

Trump supporters continue to back him after his claims of election fraud in 2020 were disproven potentially because of a deep psychological bond with the president, known as "identity fusion" shaping their beliefs & bolstering their loyalty.

www.psypost.org/identity-fus...
Identity fusion with Trump reinforced his election fraud claims and narratives of victimhood
Trump supporters with strong personal loyalty (identity fusion) were more likely to believe his election fraud claims, which further deepened their loyalty and led to greater support for his policies ...

Time to take a course…
I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...
