Get the hell off Twitter already. Edolf doxxing school teachers (or anyone else saying mean things about a white nationalist) should be your final straw.

Trump pardoned J6er Hatchet Speed who confessed to an FBI agent that he was working on a plan to kill the Jews of America.
“Trump’s attempt to exploit concerns about antisemitism to shut down American universities and deport students is complicated by the fact that he is among the biggest sources of antisemitism in America.”
Trump says he is going after Harvard because it is antisemitic. But his effort to punish the school is complicated by his own extensive history of amplifying white supremacist figures and symbols. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

Yes.
Thinking about this some more, basically the only path to maintaining something like constitutional continuity is for Trump to be impeached, convicted, and removed sometime will before the end of his term, right?
I'm still not sure what kind of continuity can be had amidst all this, and tbh I'm kind of hoping we get a bit of an appetite for radical constitutional reform going
But... yeah. It's interesting.
