Vlad Vexler Chat says the Trump political theory is more than neoliberalism. It’s hyper-neoliberalism: market competition, as they see it, is dog-eat-dog, winner-take-all naked aggression. And it’s not too far a leap to apply the same concept to politics. youtu.be/krEGUTVkOPg?....

Re: Americans seemingly not as concerned as Blue Sky members (yet) over loss of democracy and freedom - I feel more hopeful remembering “you don’t miss your water til the well run dry.” Well is running dry fast! ‘Course, achingly bad that lots have to suffer to make it plain to enough ppl.

If you are still concerned about the survival of American democracy, it's time to acknowledge an uncomfortable truth: It's gone, y'all. We can't defeat fascism until we acknowledge its existence. dlvr.it/TJYGNj

The 'Threat to Democracy' Is Over

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens. How many times must history rhyme and repeat before we realize what's going on?

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Free Mahmoud Khalil. It's important to protect speech, even, perhaps especially, when we don't agree what's being said. If we don't support other people's First Amendment rights, then who will protect ours? We have to all be in this together.

The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce. Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year. Hello?

Bribes. They’re known as bribes.
A tweet from ununusual_whales @ununusual_whales with a breaking news headline: 'BREAKING: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with the President Trump at his Florida compound, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting, per WIRED.'

Just finished a survey from a Democratic activist organization. Like 99% of such things, it tried to get me amped up w/increasingly urgent questions, up to the penultimate “Do you support [whatever the organization does]”? The tiresome last page - can only submit if donate! Bait & switch. Faithless.

Went over to X by mistake. Came across Chris Murphy defense of Zelenskyy (he didn’t start a fight w DJT/JDV) followed by screed after sometimes-vicious screed parroting Trumpian/Putinesque criticisms of Zelenskyy (disrespected them/USA, Murphy shld go back to CT, etc). BlueSky boringly reasonable.

Trump/Musk lose if the Unitary Executive theory must tolerate Gorsuch’s turbo anti-Chevron view that Congress cannot delegate “law-making” powers to administrative agencies. To the extent Gorsuch’s view prevails (he’s already voted vs. it w/the majority in 1 case), a fortiori POTUS cannot make laws.

Let's say there's "waste" and "fraud" in the government. Well that’s why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it. But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics. None of this is about waste and fraud.

And despite a lifetime of concrete evidence that Trump cannot be trusted and will screw everyone who gets near him, they decided they were too special for that too happen. That's how con artists work. Because they know deep down, rubes want to be taken, and they'll help you take them.
