Business owners! Talk with your business leadership organization i.e. Greater [your city] Leadership, Chamber of Commerce etc. Start discussing how this is affecting business and your concern about US becoming a competitive authoritarian regime.

It's hard to stand alone, but companies in groups can speak to members of congress and sign public letters. There's protection in numbers. Start talking. You'll be surprised (or not) how many are ready.

Federal authorities arrest two #judges, escalating #Trump #immigration #crackdown

"This is a drastic escalation and dangerous new front in Trump’s #authoritarian campaign of trying to bully, intimidate, and impeach judges who won’t follow his dictates. We must do whatever we can to defend the independent judiciary in America." - #JamieRaskin, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee.

by Kevin Breuninger, Dan Mangan, Fri, Apr 25 2025

"Federal authorities have arrested a former #NewMexico judge and a #Wisconsin judge in two separate cases, accusing them of interfering with Trump administration immigration enforcement efforts."

#Guardian #News
Apr 22, 2025
#AlGore launched an attack on the #Trump #administration saying there were 'important lessons' to be learned from similarities with the early rise of #Nazi Germany. In a speech at a climate week event in #SanFrancisco, Gore said: 'We've already seen, by the way, how popular #authoritarian leaders have used migrants as scapegoats and have fanned the fires of #xenophobia to fuel their own rise to power, and power-seeking is what this is all about'

Please focus on that, and act accordingly.

Sez the #Authoritarian wannabe #dictator!

Just published: "The New Normal", or why we can't restore the pre-digital information ecosystem no matter how much we might wish to.

I explore how nostalgia poisons politics across the spectrum, from #authoritarian right to purist left, while centrists dream of 1990s golden ages that never existed.

Time to adapt.
