Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

Some really important things in this, but I just can’t get over the part where Republican members of congress were sexually harassing Cassidy Hutchinson to the point where they now are afraid to call her as a witness. I guess it’s on brand for them, but these kinds of things used to be scandals.

Trump pardoned leaders of the white supremacist, rabidly anti-Semitic terrorist group the Proud Boys. You may know them by their motto “6MWE” — which stands for “6 Million Wasn't Enough.” Yes, they’re referring to the Holocaust.

This is the guy who started the Silk Road dark website which was used the facilitate major global drug trafficking. Was serving life in prison. But when Trump wanted the Libertarian Party endorsement he promised them this. He never heard of Ulbricht. Even spelled his name wrong.

In the space of half a day, the new administration has trashed the Constitution, subverted the independence of the DOJ, granted a broad amnesty to traitors, abandoned the global community on climate and public health, and launched a wide-ranging attack on minority rights.
