Clearly, Trump has learned something from his good friend MBS: If you don't like what your political opponents say, execute them.

Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, that's not what we do in America.
Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

"Laissez-faire capitalism, which leads to oligarchy, which leads to fascism could be one possible explanation for our current morass. A culture that almost exclusively prioritizes the acquisition of wealth over the well-being of its citizenry will, eventually, collapse."
"We knew Trump was an amoral scumbag when we twice elected him. We knew what he was about, but the good people of America shrugged off his monstrousness because he promised them a more affordable life free from pronoun inquiries." michaelianblack.substack.com/p/all-that-g...

Elon Musk’s bizarre $1 trillion pay package and Zohran Mamdani’s unlikely win together suggest that the unique form of harsh capitalism now practiced in America may be coming to an end.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.
