I am a retired rocket scientist frustrated with the state of our democracy.
My frustration led me to develop an idea for an opposition organization based on @timothysnyder.bsky.social idea for a “shadow cabinet”.
This thread describes a well-funded war room on steroids.

In case you were wondering, no, President Trump did not attend the funeral. He has plenty of time to play golf and attend sporting events, but no time to pay his respects to this fallen Guard. Sickening!!!

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

Important context that the 6 dumpster justices will ignore.
James Garfield was murdered by a man who thought he deserved a government job. Chester Arthur—once a machine politician—responded by helping create civil service reform.
Today’s GOP wants to undo that progress and return to patronage politics.

The Democrat in Miami just defeated the Republican ICE cheerleader for mayor. Turns out even in Florida, people are tired of cruelty masquerading as leadership. Republicans had held this seat for the last three decades. Let that…sink in.

Supreme Hypocrites.
All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.

Evidence that the Trump regime is racist and fascist. If you’re black or brown we don’t want you as a citizen. Outrageous!
These were people already approved to be naturalized, yet they were stopped solely because of their countries of origin. MAGA keeps saying, “If they wanted to be in this country, they should have done it the right way.” Well, they did. And the administration still blocked them. Cruelty is the point.
