The Trump regime's fascism - blood and soil nonsense included - seeps into every nook and cranny at every federal agency.

It's going to take some serious constitutional amendments if we are to survive as a nation.

The Trump regime's bigotry, misogyny, criminality, and corruption just seeps into every nook and cranny at every federal agency.

It's going to take some serious constitutional amendments if we are to survive as a nation.

This treatment is NOT accidental.

It's intentional dehumanization, the hallmark of fascist regimes.

Notwithstanding appearances and social contexts, women have no way of knowing whether a particular man is safe to be around. EXACTLY.

The extent to which that centuries-old problem is mitigated is a measure of how civilized we are as a society.

The article didn't seem to offer solutions, though.

The entire Trump regime is a Russian sabotage operation.

Putin has owned Trump for decades, and thanks to Citizens United has been able to buy the national-level GOP as well.

Digital innovation: True.
Copilot: Not true. That's misinformation.

Digital innovation or not, it's money NPR would not have otherwise.

NOTHING in the donation attempts to distort the quality of NPR journalism.

In the same league with Joan Kroc and MacEnzie Scott.

Another example of why women should be running the world.

The extraction of untaxed wealth from society by people like Thiel is a disgrace. Billionaire-friendly tax codes create generations of aristocrats who never work in their lives. We could easily solve our self-inflicted wounds (healthcare, national debt, etc): Progressive income and estate tax rates.

Oh yeeeeeaaaaah โ™ฅ๏ธ

But even if a Democratic tidal wave in 2028 happens ๐Ÿ™
and there's a realistic possibility to impeach, it would still have to wait until 2029 so that President [Buttigeig? Newsom? ____?], and not Trump, would fill the vacancies.

There would be a LOT of impeachments. Phew.

That was from 2020 but it's still an excellent reminder of the MAGA mindset.

And that's just the direct economic damage.

The lives lost, the effects on American morale, the ruination of our international reputation, trashing the rule of law, lost educational opportunities for millions, obscene concentration of wealth / oligarchs buying up everything, are immeasurable.

Nice sentiment, but it will never work. There will always be at least one state willing to give corporations unlimited spending power. Non-U.S. corporations (from Russia, etc.) wouldn't be muzzled either.

We MUST expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices in 2029 to overrule Citizens United.

The extraction of untaxed wealth from American society by billionaires is a disgrace. Zero estate taxes, creating generations of arrogant, trust-fund aristocrats who never work in their lives, is a disgrace. All the result of billionaire-friendly tax codes, bought and paid for by billionaires.

This country could solve most of its self-inflicted wounds (health care, oligarch media, national debt, 6 families owning more than 50% of the country's wealth) with two simple measures:
1. Progressive income tax rates like in the Eisenhower era.
2. Progressive estate tax rates to stop oligarchy.

Soon there will be enough disbarred MAGA lawyers to have a convention. Keynote speaker will likely be Bondi.
