“The reason you should care about this is not that it could happen to you but that it is already happening to others. It is happening to people who, we claim, have rights just because we are human. It is happening to me, personally.” #MashaGessen nytimes.com/2025/03/17/opinion

We’re in the midst of #authoritarian takeover of the US govt. It’s been coming and coming, and not everybody is prepared to read it that way. The characters regarded as people to emulate, like #Orban, #Putin all indicate strategy is to create an illiberal #democracy or an authoritarian democracy or a strongman democracy. You neutralize the branches of #government; you neutralize the media; you neutralize universities, and you’re on your way. #trump #maga chronicle.com/article/were-in-

When you share a YouTube video, make sure you say what it is, cause this is all we ever see.

National Security reasons my scrawny liberal ass.

This veered into publicity stunt territory as well as noncompliance with a Federal Court order which specifically forbade TFG’s sneaky actions.

He’s like a hungry felonious octopus.

In my most recent blog post, "Redefining Murder," I ask why anti-abortion politicians aren't charged with murder when pregnant women die without access to them. proustsaidthat.blog/2025/03/14

Trump blew off a judge's order. (Note, the Axios Marc Caputo piece admitting that says they relied on lawyers, but doesn't substantiate that, and makes ZERO claim Trump was involved.) But as much as they're teeing up a conflict they think SCOTUS will uphold, they're also trying to target a judge.

Un électeur #US de #Trump , marié à une #péruvienne (depuis enfermée par l' #ICE ) :

"Je savais que (les autorités) sévissaient, mais j'imagine que je ne savais comment ça allait se passer"

Non : pas d'accord, trop facile.
Vous saviez et vous n'avez pas voulu voir

Ce sont les mêmes excuses injustifiables que tous les #collabos ont donné après la #deuxième #guerre #mondiale #WWII

Lawrence Tribe: "Just as Hitler rose from the ashes and grievances of World War I, it looks like Trump’s dream is to reduce the United States to rubble so that he can turn what’s left of our once great country into his base of aggressively expansionist operations in alliance with Vladimir Putin." #politics #danger

Well, if the president doesn't have a brain to drain, why should anyone else?

Trump's puppeteers' strategy to Make America Dumbest Again causes a brain drain of unknown proportions, chasing career scientists out of the country in droves.

Europe's offering them a safe new home with rich opportunities to research, document & develop.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: The first steps toward security guarantees have been made – a meeting took place in France, and another is being prepared in the UK. He also announced a new "Ramstein" meeting and emphasized that Ukraine will intensify diplomatic efforts.

Trump and Republicans are monstrously evil. 🤬😡
ALL ARE FAKE CHRISTIANS!

This is absurdly great, but I haven't read a single blog post or news article about it. A fully open source, offline-first alternative to Notion that's a collab between the French and German governments because they want to host documentation securely and on their own terms. THIS is what Europe should be doing. docs.numerique.gouv.fr/ #opensource

"A new survey has found that more than half of Americans do not believe #God exists or that He “affects lives,” prompting one prominent researcher to highlight the need for “sweeping national repentance and spiritual renewal.”

Personally, I think the decline of Christianity is the "spiritual renewal" we need.
