Trump White House considering "National Medal of Motherhood" for wives with 6+ children. Hitler introduced "Cross of Honor of the German Mother" for women giving birth to lots of babies, with the exception of German Jews. They got the gas chamber.

NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.

Democracies die when the regime ignores the norms and operates outside the box, while the opposition respects norms and stays inside the box. If Republicans redraw congressional districts in states they control, then Democrats need to do the same in states we control. NO DOUBT.

RFK wants to lean into “whole cell” vaccine technology, which has existed for decades, comes with increased risk of side effects and can take years to develop. mRNA vaccine technology comes with far decreased risk of side effects and can take mere months to develop. Make it make sense!

We sent a letter to all superintendents in Arkansas warning them not to display the Ten Commandments in schools after a federal judge this week ruled that a state law requiring the displays is “obviously unconstitutional.” Every school district has an obligation to abide by the First Amendment.

“My God, how much more worthless can our Congress members be?
He is grifting in plain sight. He is selling sponsorships of White House events. He seized the Kennedy Center. He is selling federal buildings. He is attacking institutions. He is defying court orders. He manipulated the market. He has weaponized the DOJ. He got rid of food safety. He got rid of disease control. He wants to destroy public lands. He wants to mine seabeds in international waters. He is extorting minerals from other nations. He gave an unelected oligarch access to government data. He has broken trust with our allies. He has weakened global confidence in America.
It has been 135 days. America will not survive four years. Stand up and Do something!”

Oh no! This paragraph in Autocracy, Inc. is prescient AF. Anne Applebaum writes about the "Maduro model" of autocracy: When an autocrat is perfectly willing to destabilize & rule over a failed state with economic collapse - if it means he can stay in power. They will destroy to maintain control.

At the extremes, such contempt can devolve into what the international democracy activist Srdja Popovic has called the "Maduro model" of governance, after the current leader of Venezuela.

Autocrats who adopt it are willing to see their country enter the category of failed states," he says-accepting economic collapse, endemic violence, mass poverty, and international isolation if that's what it takes to stay in power.

Like Maduro, Presidents Bashir al-Assad in Syria and Lukashenko Belarus seem entirely comfortable ruling over collapsed economies and societies.

These kinds of regimes can be hard for the inhabitants of democracies to understand, because their primary goal is not to create prosperity or enhance the well-being of citizens.

Their primary goal is to stay in power, and to do so, they are willing to destabilize their neighbors and destroy the lives of ordinary people.
