I really don't understand the ambiguity here. Trump deputized the richest man on the planet to unilaterally cut off congressionally-funded and congressionally-authorized agencies. A power which neither of them can wield legitimately. That was the beginning of the constitutional crisis right there.

I have seen people get thrown face-down onto a hard floor for failing to follow a judge's orders.
I have seen people sent to Rikers Island for refusing to follow a judge's order.
Courts have plenty of hard power. But they only have practice using it against poor people.

In a span of 24 hours Trump:
•Signed EO withdrawing USA from UN Human Rights Council
•Declared ethnic cleaning of Gaza & US control
•Sent immigrants to a Gitmo concentration camp
•Said he’d let El Salvador imprison US Citizens
If you still don’t see this fascism for what it is you’re complicit.

"Don't Engage, Just Block" - Now more than ever!
The troll accounts are skyrocketing on @bsky.app right now. My advice is to not interact with them, just block them. If they say something bigoted report them, then block them. If they’re commenting on your post, you can hide their reply so other people don’t interact with them. #DontFeedTheTrolls
