I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

it's easy to start an investigation of walz and frey. indictments & convictions are orders of magnitude harder. but the goal is what's important and it's nothing that breaking the power of the states which is the only brake on trump's attempted tyranny

I grew up in Devon and only now in hindsight do I realise how we measure things weirdly.
Eg. Measuring ones nearest neighbour by number of fields, navigating by bends in the stream or fallen trees.

I miss the exciting place the future used to be, so I wrote 1983 about that. But it's also about education, and childhood, and mining, and the political climate of the early 1980s, and bruised semi-rural industrial landscapes, and alpacas.

This is Renee Good.
She was a mother of a six-year-old child.
She was an American citizen.
She described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.”
And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.
