the court is often talked of as having failed to oppose trump, but i think thats wrong
they've been a core, active part of transitioning the country to competitive authoritarianism, many of their decisions are just flatly against the constitution & existing order of the american state

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:
Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.
Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

Musk will have to testify over his role in shuttering USAID, a judge has ruled.
The DOJ tried to protect Musk from testifying, arguing it would “intrude on White House activities," but as Musk wasn’t a secretary or agency head, this reasoning doesn't excuse him. trib.al/EGROKkN

That highly classified whistleblower report Tulsi Gabbard covering up?
Guardian reports it’s an NSA intercept of a call between a close Trump associate and “an individual associated with foreign intelligence.”
Sounds similar to Trump’s campaign chair meeting Russian intel and sharing data in 2016.

Not sure how to read this as anything other than Trump's handpicked Director of National Intelligence betraying the United States and doing so to protect him from revelation of the fact that his regime is secretly working with a hostile foreign intelligence agency

Historian Tim Snyder put it well.🧵
I am reminded of what Steve Bannon told Michael Lewis in 2018: “The Democrats don’t matter. The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.”
We can’t have a meaningful democracy if we can’t agree on what constitutes a baseline for reality.
