The nearly unlimited (through a very poor legal definition) pardon power alone is totally inconsistent with the founding principles. Trump has pardoned those who did crimes ON HIS BEHALF AND AT HIS DIRECTION. No serious system would allow that.

The same point applies for members of the Cabinet. The secretary of defense has proudly and openly murdered hundreds of people as official policy. Leave the official record on that as an indifferent shrug and you're not doing anything to tell future secretaries not to do the same or worse.

Symbols matter. White House isn't a palace. Kennedy Center is for the general public to enjoy. We don't have a triumphal arch in DC because that's imperial. We don't put the president's face on money because it's monarchical. It's about tearing down everything that says we're a democratic republic.

It's striking (though not surprising given the normal course of authoritarian movements), that the whole Trump/MAGA/GOP message is now simply hatred of the other--of transgender people, of immigrants, and of "communists" as a catchall for everyone else. There's no pretense of a policy argument left.

The constitutional remedy for a president who directs the Department of Justice to prosecute a person the Department has already conceded is innocent of the crime is impeachment, removal, and disqualification, followed by criminal and civil proceedings.

I've been toying with this idea about how we explicitly reframe the value of college to include other outcomes rather than ROI & workforce training. These are important outcomes but colleges also help people understand and participate in society and their governments as *citizens*.

That meets a criterion for Treason. To not defend the separate states, and the United States, is tantamount to *levying war* against them. This adds to his already active, armed Treason against Minnesota last year—without even the pretext of invoking the Insurrection Act. Try him on his life.

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

There are only three possible futures: a) everyone in the Trump admin goes to jail, rule of law partially restored; b) Dems retaliate in full, and maybe that's a deterrent; c) neither (a) nor (b), so lawless authoritarianism wins again, and when Republicans regain power they ramp it up even more.

Not a mealy-mouthed fact check or, golly, this is weird. Call it out as an assault on democracy.

Politics is not about feeling good. It's about winning elections and then governing, often with an eye towards winning the next election. It sucks and it's grimy and it involves compromises which is why you shouldn't build your social identity around it.
