The period surrounding Donald Trump's 2020 election loss and the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack can be seen as an analog to Hitler's failed attempted coup (the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923), with both events representing attempts to subvert democratic processes. Read on to go deeper. More coming soon.

๐Ÿค” If Trump lusts over his own daughter, why is it so hard to imagine he does it other underage girls? โœ”๏ธ The View, 2006: โ€œIf she werenโ€™t my daughter I might be dating herโ€ โœ”๏ธ Howard Stern Show: "Sheโ€™s got the best body.โ€ โœ”๏ธ Rolling Stone, 2015: "If I werenโ€™t happily married and, ya know, her fatherโ€ฆโ€

The great Hannah Arendt, German-Jewish political theorist and refugee who fled Nazi Germany, warned that totalitarianism doesnโ€™t just teach lies โ€”it destroys the ability to think. Watch how MAGA attacks schools, media, and facts. Itโ€™s not about belief. Itโ€™s about breaking the capacity to form one.

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

๐Ÿšจ US Gov planning a site to let Europeans bypass EU blocks on hate speech, extremist propaganda & incitement to violence by routing traffic via the US. Let's be clear: saying the EU is โ€œantiโ€‘free speechโ€ for curbing violent speech is absurd, geopolitical trolling --NOT protecting freedoms.

โ€œIt is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.โ€ This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate." #TrumpSyndicate

(1/4) NEW: Wisconsin Republicans filed an unhinged amicus brief urging a court to force the state to hand the DOJ its complete voter rolls. But it wasnโ€™t a typical filing. Instead, it was a culture war-addled screed complete with segregation-era parallels, anti-immigrant panic and attacks.

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend." RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein filesโ€”even once. And she never met him. So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.
