Whether it's Barack Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference or Donald Trump calling for the execution of Democrats, both presidents engaged in norm-busting behavior.

I have been hoping someone would do this. Hear, hear for @csplaction.bsky.social. The GOP gave us a perverse caselaw on religious liberty. Let's at least use it to minister to vulnerable people.

If and when Trump leaves the scene, the country will still face a dauting task: Who can channel the disruptive political energies of a society in which the established institutions have lost the people’s trust into a (small-d) democratic direction?

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
