You know it's going badly for democracy when the authoritarians are like "Can you believe the shit we're getting away with?"

Every single paragraph in this article is shocking. I had been quite pessimistic all along, but could not have imagined the speed and depth of the collapse.

It’s important to understand that the demonization of ‘Antifa’ isn’t just about kneecapping the enemies of MAGA. It’s about creating an opportunity to bring down the law-enforcement apparatus on anyone who dares dissent.

If you're going to write headlines like this, why even have newspapers?

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

Turns out protest alone was never what changed things, it was protest *plus media coverage of protests*, which prompted officials to respond to protests, which increased public awareness of protests, etc.

If the protest happens & corporate media simply ignores it ... it's inert.

Six out of eight of the largest mass-movement protests in US history have happened since 2017. You wouldn't know this from most media reporting, and you sure af wouldn't know this from the way either major party has reacted.

All this illustrates the considerable extent to which the six right wingers on the SCOTUS are much bigger ideological hacks than the average GOP-appointed, and even Trump-appointed, federal judge. That’s both the good and bad news www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/10/the-...
