The criminals working for Trump have forgotten that in 2020the Supreme Court ruled 8to0 that private citizens can seek monetary damages for abuse by federal employees. Tanzin v. Tanvir. Their time is coming.

If there was any question that our country looks much like that of Orwell's 1984, I'd like to dispute it. The effort to control society so it conforms to the wishes of a juvenile madman is virtually unlimited.

It is disheartening that the majority of my friends who, like I, are anti-Trump, go no further in learning about what is happening. That you, and others, stay in the fight is commendable; we need more people to forget their fear and join this very important battle to save our country. In the case of friends, I just don't know how to get them to open their eyes ad I'm afraid they won't see it until it's too late - if it isn't already.

With the actions of Trump allies approaching control of elections, as reported by Aaron Parnas yesterday, the situation around our elections is more concerning than it was a month ago.

How do we know when we have gone beyond the point of no return?

As ever, thanks for bringing these issues to the fore.

I’ve posted Miles’ pieces to friends numerous times and only get an occasional, ”like,” and no dialog.

I agree with your list but would add the misuse and abuse of the pardon and clemency powers. All of Trump’s loyalist will get out of prison free. The January 6 insurrectionists were the first of many, many, many.

If you don’t already own firearms, this might be the time to purchase them for self defense while you still can. If you do this, be sure to take safety classes and train how to use them effectively and safely.

So, “trump’s planning….. he has …… “ actually the Miller arm of the crime family? I respect and admire your work beyond words, but the orange thing seems incapable of planning anything more than bitter rants to his henchmen.

It's Vought, Martin, Miller, Bovino and those who contributed to Project 2025 doing planning and implementing. It's the village idiots of RFK Jr., Noem, Bondi, Homan and Hegseth who are causing the chaos (Homan and Bovino may be interchangeable). With the full support of the six Christian Nationalists on the Supreme Court and GOP Congressional members the Felon is making the United States an authoritarian theocracy, with the Felon as leader and the American oligarchs running the Country (Putin's Russia).

Yeah, I know, I just despair at typing the names again. Photos worse, videos make me physically ill. (funny tho, “bovino” is one of my nicknames for bove.. Pronounced like “dove”.) or whatever, these people are just things. Tools; they be many.

For the first time in my long life, I let out my first ever primal scream after reading this post. Through all of the tumultuous times we as a nation have lived through, I never imagined living through a time such as this or fear that we wouldn’t be able to find our better angels. It breaks my heart.
