“When citizens must think twice about criticizing or opposing the #government because they could credibly face government #retribution, they no longer live in a full #democracy. By that measure, America has crossed the line into #competitiveauthoritarianism.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

“DHS confirms to Axios that they are considering arresting Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, LaMonica McIver and Rob Menendez.

Watson Coleman's office says they reviewed the body cam footage and that it proves "nobody 'assaulted' any agents."

Every day, Trump finds new targets, so he can stay in the spotlight,& sic “his AG & the DOJ on them with trumped-up charges.

On the neocons all over again – Amir Tibon in Haaretz:
The experiment would ‘go something like this: American companies will begin operating in southern Gaza, under the supervision of the Israeli military, in a "humanitarian compound" surrounded by barbed wire. Two million Gazan citizens will be concentrated in this compound to get food and aid, while Israel will take over the rest of Gaza and use the pressure put on Gaza's population in order to topple the Hamas regime.’
(…)
‘If all this sounds familiar to you, that means you've probably lived through the Iraq War and the "happy" days of American contractors operating under military guidance in an attempt to "separate the local population from the terrorists" and replace the regime, but it's unclear with what exactly.’
(…)
‘Two decades later, they are promoting their Gaza plan in similar fashion – and so far, despite all the rage about the "neocons disrupting his agenda," the president seems to buy it.’

At least she tried to stop #Trump by proving he is a criminal. It should have been Merrick Garland's job. 🙁

The fact that she is both black and female means that an indictment and a prison sentence will come swiftly, and the American public will just assume she is guilty because #Trump says so. :eyeroll:

“When citizens must think twice about criticizing or opposing the government because they could credibly face govt #retribution, they no longer live in a full #democracy.

“By that measure, #America has crossed the line into competitive #authoritarianism. The #Trump administration’s #WeaponizationOfGovernment agencies & flurry of punitive actions against critics has raised the cost of opposition for a wide range of Americans.”

#Trump fired head archivist Colleen Shogan in early Feb in an apparent act of #retribution against the #NARA. Leaders of the agency had raised concerns about Trump’s holding onto boxes of #classified documents at his home in Florida after he left office in 2021, though Shogan was not involved in that episode.

4 days before Shogan’s firing, #Rubio announced he was the acting administrator for #USAID, as #ElonMusk …& #PeteMarocco, a political appointee in the #State Dept, were gutting the agency.

That may be where we’re headed—or where we already are. archive.is/5cFz9 When #Trump ran again, in #2024, his #autocratic #rhetoric was more pitched.

Arresting a judge in Milwaukee, WI is part of a years long thirst for retribution by Trump and Kash Patel, his handpicked FBI director

They're weak, insecure men who go after people who disagree with them, even if it's a judge upholding the law
