Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Americans really believed there was "a deep state," aka norms and people adhering to them. There is little. Little public pushback. Not going nuclear by releasing anything damaging they might have. No "Deep Throat" this time to save the country.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

White man Mike Johnson appears to be refusing to seat an elected Latina because a fellow white man and his friend, Donald Trump, is reportedly in the files of another white man, an international child sex trafficker and child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein. This is white male privilege at work.

Rep. Dave Min @congressmin.bsky.social · 1d

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

This child, Rahaf Saleem Al-Bayouk was killed three days ago by Hamas militias during their attack on the al-Majaida family in Khan Yunis.

That same day, Hamas killed 7 Palestinians — including an elderly man, a woman, and two children.

You won’t hear this bc no media coverage of Hamas’s crimes

While prepping for a class, I checked Google Translate for Ps. 20:7 (a verse mangled in the 1475 trial). I got a supersessionist mistranslation! Another example of AI trouble. If you don't know anything about the subject, you might be fed lies & false information.
www.sefaria.org/Psalms.20.7?...

Hebrew: עַתָּ֤ה יָדַ֗עְתִּי כִּ֤י הוֹשִׁ֥יעַ ׀ יְהֹוָ֗ה מְשִׁ֫יח֥וֹ יַ֭עֲנֵהוּ מִשְּׁמֵ֣י קׇדְשׁ֑וֹ בִּ֝גְבֻר֗וֹת יֵ֣שַׁע יְמִינֽוֹ׃
Google Translate: Now I know that the Lord Jesus Christ will answer me from his holy heaven, with the mighty hands of Jesus at his right hand.

Better translation might be: "Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; that he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand."
