Yesterday, at a threats hearing, an FBI official testified that “antifa” is a major national security threat, but couldn’t explain its structure, location, or membership. Meanwhile, the White House quietly released a new National Security Strategy that elevates mass migration as the defining threat.

In high school, I received a failing grade on a math test because I used Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" instead of a trigonometry table to solve the equations. It was, clearly, a violation of my right to free speech.
Trans graduate assistant Mel Curth has been removed from her position at the University of Oklahoma after a Christian student complained a failing grade she received in a psychology essay – because she cited the Bible rather than empirical evidence – was a violation of her right to free speech.

This is what the so-called "Secretary of War" is tweeting amid reports that his department ordered a second strike to make sure they killed survivors of a boat they attacked that they allege with no proof carries drugs (which doesn't justify bombing them even it were true)

In normal democracy terms, we've in bad shape and things are getting worse.
In consolidated authoritarianism terms, we're doing pretty well, as the regime is haphazard, meeting resistance, and growing increasingly unpopular.
Depends on one's perspective. I started using the latter standard in Jan.

It is good to see the pushback on Trump lead to real losses for him. But it's hard to be optimistic when he still wields the enormous power of the presidency. ICE is still rampaging, HHS is harming people, the U.S. may be about to sell out Ukraine, the boat strikes...he's still doing so much damage.
