Geopoliticus Monk🇮🇹🏳️⚧️🇺🇦🇵🇸 @geopoliticusmonk.bsky.social · 22/01/2025I was just thinking this morning as I read about Jared's latest $$$multi-billion scam thanks to daddy-in-law's crime syndicate. And I thought, hmm, I wonder if there would be a point where mafia DonJT would say, 'Let's don't do that. It's a little extreme. I'm not sure we'll get away with it." 020
Olje- og klimaminister @energi.observer · 22/01/2025The law is nothing but "people will stop you and punish you if you do that." If enforcement becomes impossible the law disappears. Also the state and property also "disappear". 040
hueymelo.bsky.social @hueymelo.bsky.social · 23/01/2025They keep saying this but we all live through his last presidency 000
Max Marnau @rabthecat.bsky.social · 22/01/2025That's the thing. Someone posted on FB that there are few people with sensible politics. I think it's much more that there are few people with any actual politics at all. 040
Barred and Boujee aka Madiba Dennie @audrelawdamercy.blacksky.app · 22/01/2025ok yes but also ! this is related to my idea that the legal system often runs on Tinkerbell rules, where the performance of belief can affect outcomes bsky.app/profile/audr...Barred and Boujee aka Madiba Dennie@audrelawdamercy.blacksky.appmy hot take is it's good to loudly say "that's illegal" in order to make it more costly for bad actors to break the law and less costly for people to uphold the law; but you absolutely should not just assume laws will be followed/enforced bc 'don't worry, all, that's illegal' 2743
NK JJB @nkjjb.bsky.social · 23/01/2025The rise of Hitler, by legal means, to dictatorship is a precedent worth reviewing. The law then for Hitler and now for Trump is just a map, it offers more than one alternative to the destination. www.annefrank.org/en/anne-fran...annefrank.orgGermany 1933: from democracy to dictatorshipAfter Hitler came to power in 1933, Germany became a dictatorship. Read how the Nazis used oppression and violence to eliminate Jews and political opponents. 051
Jane J @jane2157.bsky.social · 22/01/2025He doesn’t care about constitutional law. He believes he is the law now. 040
Camille LaGuire @camillelaguire.bsky.social · 22/01/2025True. But it's also paved with nihilists who refuse to defend institutions by actually challenging his ability to do that, because they think "he's gonna do it anyway, why bother?" 030

Morgan H. Shroud @morganhshroud.bsky.social · 22/01/2025To fascism? We're about century past that. This is in fascism, both parties, no matter how diverse the other might seem. #WorldsLargestPrisonPopulation 010
Benny Six Six Six-Cats @teeveeben.bsky.social · 22/01/2025I think you got read those protestations as expressions of a shared value, not expectations that the law self-enforces. 010
Daveny Ellis @davenyellis.bsky.social · 22/01/2025So many historians said previously that the law cannot withstand hard fascist regimes because tyrants do not care about rule of law ever. They will push through as many bad faith policies as they can and rig it to make them near impossible to remove. 2162

D. Deighton Triptych Dialogue @daviddeighton.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Agreed. A question we can all ask ourselves: what effective steps have you taken today to fight fascism? 000

Viv @vivisect.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Yes this! I keep telling people that he doesn't care about the law. His administration has openly discussed their fascist intentions. Including taking over permanently in a dictatorial capacity. 032

Geoff @aljawf.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Before that the moderates said: he will pivot, he will be presidential, he can't possibly mean what he said over & over, the cabinet heads will make sure he doesn't break anything, both sides are bad, ... 060
Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 23/01/2025No kidding. I mean, how many laws has he already tried to break in two days? Including several things he swore not to do? 000
Steph @observingangel.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Proper response should be that if he's stepping out of bounds in his constitutional powers, then we best be getting up to fight to make sure that the checks & balances also in that Constitution are completely activated. Every overreach must be challenged. 030
