I’m not linking but I just read a columnist (one of my favorites) say Trump “has no ideology beyond his own power.”
Ten years in, this trope should die. Trump's ideology is white supremacist and that goes a long way in explaining his imperialism and protectionism.

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.”

Only reason literally *anyone* who is not a white male was *ever* able to walk around America & the greater white world without looking over their shoulders is because of Black Americans
Since then it's largely been betrayal by everyone else & now civil rights are being eroded

Really tired of condescending people from other countries specifically talking down at black Americans to “do something” and put ourselves in lines of fire like we’re the ones who caused this.

Had Ursula K. LeGuin’s Omelas on my mind lately “for no particular reason”...
If you’ve never read it before, you should take the time to do so. It’s very short, prose wise, very much worth taking the time to do so and… it resonates in ways that should be strikingly obvious.

Law is fake, power is real.
Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).
It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.
It has written majority opinions in only 3.
Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

Here we go again: Over an acerbic dissenting opinion by Justice Sotomayor (joined in full by Justices Kagan and Jackson), #SCOTUS, with no explanation, grants a stay in the Department of Education RIFs case—effectively clearing the way for the Trump administration to dismantle much of the agency:

Sometimes you don't survive whole, you just survive in part.
But the grandeur of life is that attempt. It’s not about that solution. It’s about being as fearless as one can—and behaving as beautifully as one can—under completely impossible circumstances.

I really wish this “bend the knee” framing would stop. They’re not acquiescing or being forced to comply. They’re putting themselves in a good position to maximize profits. These are billionaires and corporations; applying morality to their motives gives them way too much credit.
ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting.
This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.
