Cruelty and Loyalty On zone-flooding fatigue and the tenets of autocracy

“Pairing cruelty and loyalty is at the core of autocracy.”

Trump's Week 1 flood of executive orders shows how these twin pillars—cruelty to enemies and loyalty from followers—lay the groundwork for dismantling democracy. @kimlanelaw.bsky.social explains.

It never was about those things, but it has never been this blatant.

I tend to stay even-keeled about this stuff. I am not alarmist, I report the news as accurately as possible.

But the language is scary. It is precisely the dehumanizing language used to justify atrocity.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.

No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."

Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."

It's a big step towards very bad things.

Wise words to get us through this trying time 🙏🏻

Yes Adam Lambert! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Sharing this in case anyone else feels inclined to send her a message of support 💙

Mike Johnson’s Pants on Fire claim that 1% of federal employees 'actually' work in person Surveys by federal agencies have found that half of federal employees hold jobs that are not eligible for remote work and 14% work remotely full-time.

Pants on fire indeed 🔥 Glad someone fact checked this tomfoolery

“Ye gods, it doth amaze me
A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world
And bear the palm alone.”
