I hate to repost this highly misogynist meme but I want to highlight what @ianbassin.bsky.social is saying. This is not business as usual.
In Hungary, a key Orbán tactic in dismantling their democracy was that his allies bought media outlets that were critical of the regime and turned them into loyal cheerleaders for the regime.

Like others, I fear the threat of government retribution, political vengeance and an angry right-wing mob. But I know that giving into it will only strengthen Trump and undermine the future of our democracy. Trump wants us to be scared. He wants us to give up — gradually and then suddenly.
The Choices I’ve Made
From Marc | Since the election, media figures and outlets have followed suit — each moving gradually towards obedience to Trump and then suddenly.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Carol Moseley Braun was the first Black woman elected to the Senate in 1993. Jesse Helms once followed her into the Senate elevator singing "Dixie." He told fellow Senator Orrin Hatch, "I'm going to sing Dixie until she cries."

“To win, Democrats must inspire the public in a fractured information age, engage meaningfully with the cultural shifts around race, gender, family, and migration, make democracy work…and—most critically—deliver tangible results that improve people’s lives.”
The Left Didn’t Sink Kamala Harris. Here's What Did.
It’s easier to blame activists, but far more powerful forces have led Democrats to neglect the real crises facing Americans.

“He seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats."
This is a lie about Donald Trump that Joe and Mika uttered in their morning show, as if to justify their kowtowing. Appalling.

Noticing a substantial increase in right wing trolls on the platform. I’m glad the platform is growing and is definitely better than Twitter, but if it doesn’t get control of the hate content, it will be no better.

Eric Adams caught the break of a lifetime when Trump won.
Now, he is almost certain to get a pardon.
Some conservatives think that Adams was targeted because he pushed back on migrants. (BS)
Adams has been defending Trump lately and his criminal defense attorney is Elon Musk’s personal attorney.

Phew! Don't worry, folks. Pretty sure guard rails will hold, as they always do! Hegseth is outside the norms! That's not how Washington works! Don't listen to us silly alarmists. Trump will never be elected.
Hegseth is not the new pentagon chief.
He has not even been officially nominated and cannot be officially nominated for another 2 months.

Caffeinated from a late night drive and freaked out by *how* bad the coverage of Trump Sec Def Pete Hegseth is, I decided to start reading his new book, The War on Warriors. A thread. The new Pentagon chief begins by bragging he was pushed out for being an "extremist"... 1/
