The U.S. State Department officially supports El Salvador’s removal of presidential term limits—flashing a warning of what’s to come in America. The Trump regime will likely attempt the same, with support from a complicit Congress and Supreme Court. And when they do, we the people will fight back.

Congress is lost. The right is destroying us. 45 years watching repugs continually grasp for unaccountable power. Dirty tricks and degenerate lies continually drive them. Their apotheosis is the appointment of Roberts to SCOTUS: a white man who availed himself of each & every benefit a white man has

Now that Israel attacked Iran and they are in a hot war, I wonder how the greatest orange-tinted deal maker in the world - along with Swilly Hesgeth- will handle the negotiations with Iran to dismantle their nuclear program? 🤔 Oh wait, this just in, Israel just killed all of the Iranian negotiators.

True true true! But also it feels a bit sinny that Jake Tapper promoted his book about Biden’s infirmity on CNN - not revealing anything about the content- WHILE BIDEN WAS STILL OFFICE. He said “You will not believe what we found out”. It would have been better for us IF YOU TOLD US WHEN YOU KNEW!!

Hesgeth has 3 aggressive anti-Islamic tattoos. Joe Kent, Trump’s choice for head of Counterterrorism, has a tattoo associated with Nazis. Both enjoy hanging out racists. But don’t question the tattoos, b/c that is “anti-Christian bigotry.” Tattoos only matter for everyone else it seems. Fuck Trump
Quote from Atlantic Magazine: “Trump’s White House operates on inconsistency. High prices on consumer goods are bad, unless they are the result of the tariffs. Unelected bureaucrats must be excised from the government, unless they are Elon Musk and his team at DOGE. Free speech is a tenet of American values that is to be vehemently upheld, unless people say things that Donald Trump does not like. Tattoos matter. Except they also don’t. They are a sufficient admission of guilt—sufficient enough to disqualify you for due process, even—unless you are part of Trump’s team. If you’re on the losing side, there is no recourse. If you’re on the winning side, there are no consequences.”

I mean - look - your headline can frame the history of the relationship developed over decades between the US government & US universities as a drug-like “dependency” or you can frame it as what it is: One of the most beneficial relationships between government and civil society on the planet.

Of course, MAGA has no actual ideas about post-liberal government. It’s all just “aesthetics, resentments and vibes.” None of it stands up to examination. It’s not a project to govern.

Trump and his traitors need to be disappeared in exactly the same way. Immediately please:
From the Boston Globe, 3/26/2025: Plainclothes officers handcuffed Rumeysa Ozturk, a 30-year-old Turkish national in the US on a student visa, and loaded her into an unmarked SUV with tinted windows as she pleaded for explanations, according to video of the arrest. She was transferred to Louisiana despite a federal judge ordering US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Tuesday night not to remove Ozturk from Massachusetts without prior notice.
