The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

The Trump administration plans to ramp up efforts to strip some naturalized Americans of their citizenship.
They want 100-200 naturalized citizens per month to scrutinize and disgustingly deport after they already went thru the process!

Again, we should have stopped this wildly unethical, corrupt, & almost certainly illegal nepotism all the way back in 2017, when Ivanka Trump was representing the US at international conferences alongside Christine Lagarde. An entirely different set of rules & norms just for this One Special Boy.
I’d rather question why is Kushner there and why is he laying out a vision? We did not vote him into any gov position nor the senate we voted for has approved his candidacy.
This isn’t a grey zone anymore, it’s 50 shades of grey.

Trump essentially said loyalty to the Constitution is punishable by death. Those are dangerous words coming from the President of the United States, but I’m not going to be intimidated.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

“Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away.
