Can confirm.
Authoritarians want you to feel isolated and alone, to feel like their vision of the world is the only one.
That’s why taking part in public protests matters. You connect with other people like you and you show those numbers off to the world. It’s a great feeling. Try it!

The Signal scandal isn’t that Waltz invited Goldberg
It’s that every government employee in the chat broke the law
- They all conducted government work in unofficial accounts less likely to be discovered thru FOIA
- They all mishandled secure information
Focus on Waltz = free pass for the others

The fight against authoritarianism isn't limited to a specific ideology, and in fact, requires partisans of every pro-democracy faction (from democratic socialists to traditional conservatives) to unite in a popular front.
But, those in authority are often the last to understand the need to fight.

if you just scan the headline — or if you’re just uncurious — you’ll think this is a “trump bad” piece but if you read it you’ll find that it is my attempt to explain what makes something “anti-constitutional” and why that is distinct from an “unconstitutional” act.

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.
