Trump has revealed that he is not a **committed and serious Nazi** (that is just most of his cadre/people running policy). Instead, he is just stealing and selling everything that isn't nailed down...
The motivations have become *very* clear. All his actions should be understood from here on out.

Trump is letting NVIDIA export cutting-edge AI chips that his own DOJ revealed are being illegally smuggled into China.
His own DOJ called these chips "building blocks of AI superiority."
Trump and Lutnick need to answer to Congress on why they are selling out US security.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Fair enough! Let's lower it to the highest possible threshold that is viable.

Duh. We should axe the presidential system.
PR + ranked-choice multi-member districts + significantly expanded House + pretty high thresholds for parties to get seated (like 13-15%?)...

The Founders anticipated the possibility of a corrupt, venal, lawbreaking, wannabe monarch president.
What they did not expect is numerous people achieving prominent national office and not wanting to guard their own power. The combo of ego to run but pathetic absence of ego in office stands out.

We should have never thought anyone was coming to save us - we were always going to have to do that ourselves.
Right now we should be organizing for the midterms. All of 2026, we need to be focused on get out the vote campaigns and what to do if the administration tries to block voting access. 1/2

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.
I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Tonight's news makes clear that the legacy media is fully capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.
But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

🚨NEW: The Trump admin moves to terminate Temporary Protected Status for HALF A MILLION Haitians, claiming despite all reality that Haiti is a safe country to return to — even though large portions of the country are ruled by vicious gangs and civil governance has collapsed.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

Chaos theory tells us that things will begin to escalate and the pace of the fascist takeover is very likely to INCREASE in pace from here on… so the general strike needs to be organized NOW and to begin later this Spring…

It is significant that she notes that her Dem donor clients (like hundreds-of-millionaires, billionaires) are already aware of the increasing likelihood that Trump suspends the mid-term elections…

A general strike is the only way that this fascist regime (the nation has suffered regime change), gets stopped is through a general strike.
Use your platform and connections. Start organizing it. Every state capital and major metro area…
Needs to start NOW to build momentum. By summer.

A general strike is the only option. Must get around 4% (or more, ideally) engaged in a committed COMPLETE shut-down of the nation… the more white collar people and urban people the better… need to see a density of protest that is consistent and nation-wide… every state capital, the nations capital
