A burglar broke in. I put the red dot on his chest. The cat did the rest.

"Last night on MSNBC, I said it straight: the FBI raid on John Bolton’s home and office is only the beginning. Trump’s enemies list is long, and he intends to check off every name. Indictments will come. Prosecutions will come. And if history is any guide, imprisonment will follow. Retribution isn’t a campaign slogan for him; it’s a mission—and one he intends to win."

"On Inauguration Day, I listed 12 tripwires of tyranny – developments to keep an eye out for that would indicate our country had become a dictatorship. Seven months into Trump’s term, we’re already there with five of the tripwires, we’re getting there with five others, and we haven’t moved much on two others. …

Clearly, we’re far down the road to a dictatorship."

Heather Cox Richardson put it plainly: the collapse isn’t just physical, it’s cognitive. The man who once bullied his way through interviews with brute-force bluster now drifts off mid-sentence, slurring fragments of half-remembered grievances as if volume alone can stand in for coherence. Weakness masquerading as strength is still weakness, but Trump’s weakness is now paired with the unchecked machinery of state power. - Mary Geddry

This is actually terrifying. The dictator establishing his Palace Guard.

[from today’s Executive Order, h/t @heidilifeldman]

The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.

@trabern And they're firing bus and train operators in LA who refuse to let ICE raid the buses.

Just like the shit my grandparents and uncles went through in the Zoot Suit Incident in 1943. When goons raided buses, streetcars and businesses to beat up Black and Latino people, regardless of whether they had on a suit or not.

That's why I'm holding off on going back home to visit the graves of my family. lapublicpress.org/2025/08/la-m
