I can't believe MSNBC is falling for this "anti-ice" on the bullet thing. The shooter's brother says he wasn't political and didn't have strong feelings about ICE. Where's the scrutiny?

but do go on about the violent rhetoric from the leftβ¦β¦..
Trump blaming Ukraine for the war, is just Trump's latest favour to Vladimir Putin
The war would never have happened if it wasn't for Putin's aggression in both 2014 and 2022
It could end today if Putin withdrew immediately to their own border pre 2014
I expect legal challenges, but the fact that this even happened should alarm the fuck out of everyone.
This is what authoritarian rule looks like, concentrating power at the top & erasing independent oversight. This is not how democracy works.
Here's the EO:
www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
β οΈ This consolidates power in 1 PERSONβS HANDS. The president now decides what the law means & his appointees control every executive function
β οΈ This undermines democracy SCOTUS has historically ruled that presidents canβt take over independent agencies, no telling what the current SCOTUS will do /5
β οΈ This eliminates agency independence. These agencies were created by Congress to operate without political interference, ensuring fair enforcement of laws. (Agencies created by Congress cannot be dismantled via EO) /4
Agencies like the SEC (which oversees financial markets) & the FCC (which regulates communications) now have to submit ALL MAJOR REGULATIONS for presidential approval before they can act.
What does this mean? /3
Read no independent legal analysis, no checks, no balances.
At the same time, this order puts independent regulatory agencies under direct White House control ( See proj 2025 - this is exactly Vought, one of the main proj 2025 authors, wanted.) /2
π¨Totalitarianism Alert
Trump just signed an executive order saying that only he & his AG, Bondi, can interpret the law for the ENTIRE executive branch. Meaning every federal agency, every government lawyer & every official must follow THEIR legal opinions without question. /1
This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order.

π§΅"So this is how liberty dies..."
Trumpβs first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
Iβve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9
π¬ Yikes! *They're
Facts
Its possible their the worst one yet. That one has very thin skin
Folks, look up your district & find out who represents you. Check their voting record & recent actions, are they doing what needs to be done? If not, start rallying around someone who will & make it clear youβll do everything in your power to push for their replacement.

Thanks
What a massive load of crap
Yup
This is a Masterclass on how American journalists should write about Trump. Unfortunately, the headline comes from Norway.
Very punchable
Awesome list! Glad you're here
You're absolutely correct.
This needs to be said, loud, and often.
