Trump Is Gaslighting Us - The Atlantic

“The point of modern propaganda isn’t only to misinform or push an agenda,” Garry Kasparov, a Russian pro-democracy leader, wrote in 2016. “It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.”

Today's a big day. If you can't get out to protest, send a letter. You gotta do something. This is a good one.
🖋️ “VOTE NO on all 4 bills attacking the federal judiciary!” hit 2,000 signers!

💬 Text SIGN PDVYDP to 50409
VOTE NO on all 4 bills attacking the federal judiciary!
Text SIGN PDVYDP to 50409 — I oppose all efforts to delegitimize court orders, threaten judges, and erode constitutional safeguards. These things fundamentally threaten American democracy. The fact that Republican congressmembers are now attempting to codify these authoritarian power grabs disgusts me. I want you to vote NO on the following pieces of legislation: —The Judicial Understaffing Delays Getting Emergencies Solved (JUDGES) Act (H.R. 1702) would grant President Trump authority to appoint 22 new lifetime district court judges, enabling him to stack federal courts with loyalists who would rubber-stamp his agenda and shield him from accountability. —The Promptly Ending Political Prosecutions and Executive Retaliation (PEPPER) Act (H.R. 1789) would dramatically expand executive power by allowing current and former executive branch officials to move cases against them from state to federal courts and requiring federal courts to dismiss virtually all cases against presidents and vice presidents—effectively placing them above the law. —The No Rogue Rulings (NORRA) Act (H.R. 1526) would prevent judges from granting relief beyond the parties directly before the court—impeding judicial relief for unconstitutional executive actions. —The Nationwide Injunction Abuse Prevention Act would similarly ban nationwide injunctions by district court judges. I urge the Congressmember to stand firm against the assaults on our democracy by rejecting the JUDGES Act, the PEPPER Act, and the NORRA Act. I’ll be watching your vote closely. Thanks.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
