Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.
Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

People need to stop saying that Trump is stupid and doesn’t know how to run the country, he does. He’s trying to run an authoritarian regime and largely succeeding. Even if these are not from him directly he is the figurehead.

And there it is. Remember how we said if we don’t defend trans rights they’d go after gay people next, and then we got told that that would never happen? Least satisfying I told you so.
Idaho just demanded SCOTUS overturn marriage equality.

What happened to ‘he’s a facist’ and a ‘threat to our democracy’? This might be the weakest messaging we’ve seen this year. The class struggle is real, this is obviously true, but it’s so much worse than that. I hope the next DNC chair helps fix these type of issues!

Unsurprising with Ed Martin at the helm of DC DOJ. The table of names and links is here. Many individual pages are up on archive.org, if not the PDFs, but those are saved collectively. The documents should stay up on PACER which is controlled by the judicial branch.

Not everyone can respond to every outrage. That's on purpose. But no need to get mad at someone for focusing on stuff *you* don't think is important. Let everyone focus on what they want to focus on.
