Using the military to take control of American cities, wrecking the Fed, ordering kangaroo criminal investigations, Trump is so far beyond the worst of Richard Nixon. He makes tricky Dick look as harmless as Jerry Ford.
Conservatism is dead.
The cult lives on.

Cover of Douglas Blackmon’s Slavery by Another Name.
@douglasblackmon.bsky.social addresses the way that Alabama reestablished forms of unfree labor that focused on Black Americans. Though not as widespread as the antebellum institution, the post-war system coerced all Black Southerners in states where it occurred.
9/9
Perhaps it closer to the old convict leasing system—aka Slavery By Another Name…
Private guards keep the workers contained/whip them when they disobey. Company minimally feeds and houses at subhuman level…
Why can’t The Washington Post just say this is a $12 billion #GOP handout for mostly rich farmers who would go broke if they didn’t get federal welfare?
It’s not complicated. Just say it.

Tricia McLaughlin and the ICE spokesperson refuse to say where the men are being sent.
Given that the literal title of the press conference is "DHS Press Conference on Migrant Flight to South Sudan," I think it's South Sudan. 🤦♂️
Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.
It really is good of Iowa to finally jump right in bed with Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and all the places down here in the South where nasty white supremacists used to make the rest of the world wonder out loud: What is wrong with *them*?
As they say, bigotry lives company.

For every Republican @GOP over age 35:
The weird raspy voices whispering in your head…?
That scratchy-clawing sound…?
It’s Ike, Ronny Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and every real hero you ever had clawing at their coffin lids, screaming:
“What have you done?”

Definition of a cult member: Any Republican over the age of 30 who doesn’t have the urge to throw up right now.

The @realDonaldTrump egg section.
Reality is such a pain.
What you read is only your business.
It doesn't get much lamer than this for a serious national news organization--first ABCNews & Stephanopoulos open the door by being TV-cocky/sloppy but not technically incorrect or malevolent. Now they chicken out on defending the First Amendment!
Doom
