Four GOP Senators.
At most four Repubs in the House.
Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

I can't repeat this enough.
I've said this before and I'll say it again.
It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

It's actually a good thing that previously apolitical normies are finally getting angry and starting to speak out. We need the numbers in the streets and at the polls.
If your response to them is "no, fuck you, too late," then you don't actually care about stopping Trump. You're just preening.

Fucking hell. The cherry on top of this hideous confection of race-baiting brutality is, of course, immigration agents targeting Native Americans. Say it slowly: Native Americans.
This isn't about immigration. It isn't even about immigrants. It's all raw white supremacy.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.
This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:
“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

There’s a word to describe the kind of centralized government that tries to control markets and businesses but I forget what it is
Trump is trying to bully Walmart into not raising prices due to his tariffs. This is like trying to bully gravity

Also from Tolkien:
"'I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo. 'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. So I'm going on book tour -- bye!'"

"The mass pardon sends a message to the country and the world that violating the law in support of Mr. Trump and his movement will be rewarded," writes the New York Times editorial board.
Opinion | Trump’s Opening Act of Contempt
To open his term with such an act of contempt toward the legal system is audacious, even for Mr. Trump.
