This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

I do not care that you are not “surprised.” Please. You have no idea how tiresome it is when you post that something horrible, fascist, authoritarian is “not surprising.” Nothing is “surprising” anymore. But a lot of it is horrible and frightening. Let’s deal with it together.

Best sign from yesterday.
This morning my amazing 91 YEAR OLD mother-in-law joined a group from her retirement community to protest at the Pittsfield, MA Social Security office!
If you are not inspired then you are not paying attention.

Chilling on several levels. This will do permanent damage to the US's limited but critical role in helping to maintain human rights standards outside (and inside) the US. Compliance with these long-standing norms is viewed as a nuisance, to merely be complied with, rather than as an active pursuit.
“…the reports…will no longer call governments out for such things as denying freedom of movement and peaceful assembly. They won’t condemn retaining political prisoners without due process or restrictions on ‘free and fair elections.’” apple.news/Afn5usfmGRcq...
The State Department is changing its mind about what it calls human rights — NPR
The agency's annual human rights reports are being purged of references to prison conditions, political corruption and other abuses.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.
