Reposted by Barbara FinleyNathan Goldwag @goldwagnathan.bsky.social · 03/06/2026American journalism and the American legal establishment are very similar actually; both demand all the rewards and accolades of fulfilling an important role in society while violently rejecting any of the obligations. Both defined by fawning sycophancy that they've defined as courage. 7980219

Reposted by Barbara FinleyIan Bassin @ianbassin.bsky.social · 30/11/2025As his approval sinks, Trump will turn to the emotion from which his power derives: fear. Fear closes us off from each other, weakens what is our strength, deprives us of our future and only serves to secure his. The antidote is hope. An autocrat cannot defeat a hopeful people.
