Civil war is not an option. Any war in fact, there are only losers in that kind of scenario. Midterms will be the best opportunity, the cross party anger against POTUS and his admin must be sustained. Things move so fast.
Let's not forget Pam Blondie. Tbh, Stephen Miller is the head of the snake.
With or without, a "massacre" must happen. All this nonsense needs to stop, at least, slow down.
We know :) That's why the files will never see the light.
Do we really believe that those files will go public? Nah! American politics have lost their backbones, too scared to lose their benefits. The US is now ruled by a bunch of self-serving cronies. It will take a long time for the US to recover if the opportunity arises.
POV from Europe: rule of law in the US has gone out the window, DOJ, DHS,... even the Supreme Court. Trump bypasses Congress without blinking. How much worse does it need to get for the american people to wake up?
That we know of. I'm sure there's much more in that very large gold plated closet hidden behind a shrinking US flag in the oval office :)
I just love seeing Trump's administration raping every single amendment of the US constitution. Are MAGA and the GOP finally realising that Trump is in it for himself? I believe the Republicans thought they could use Trump, it's actually the other way. Suckers.
While probably clumsy (any comparison with the Holocaust is), the DHS tactics rhyme a lot with this moment in history. "History does not repeat, it just rhymes" quote stolen from a history teacher :)

Read that article/interview again by @samtlevin.bsky.social with Mike German, ex-FBI agent. It'd be interesting to hear his thoughts on the Minneapolis situation. "The writing was on the wall".
Just finished to read #Enshittification by Cory Doctorow. While quite a gloomy read, it's absolutely fascinating to see that enshittification has been around longer than we thought. I am happy that we have a word for it now. us.macmillan.com/books/978037...
IT'S COMING

Netflix has unveiled an official poster for STRANGER THINGS 5, as well as teasing a new trailer for the final season of the hit sci-fi horror series dropping tomorrow.
Every time I see @jamesgunn.bsky.social, all I can think of is him in Tromeo & Juliet. The Good OL' days of #troma.
So went to see @jamesgunn.bsky.social #Superman last week and really enjoy it. @davidcorenswet.bsky.social is spot on. Revisited then #christopherreeve #superman and still a benchmark. Superman II was fun but Lester's comedy has aged badly. Looking forward to what's coming next.
Here are some movies are highly recommend:
Top Secret
Real Genius
The Salton Sea
Spartan
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Thunderheart
Tombstone
The Ghost and the Darkness
Willow
Great piece on Val Kilmer and great choice of KIss Kiss Bang Bang as a highlight. Though would have loved mentions of Spartan & The Salton Sea, Val was brilliant in these. Finally, a lot of people forget Real Genius and Top Secret which proved Val could excel in comedy early on in his career.
Why apologize?🙄
Rightly so 😁

Looks like DC has its mojo back :) @jamesgunn.bsky.social

It won't add anything. True. But it might still be awesome :)
Good choice.
