From the Blog

Restating a slew of pretty incontrovertible facts here for a baseline:

  • January 6 2021 was a failed MAGA coup attempt.
  • Trump’s sent the military into cities for no reason (ie, flimsy reasons) and this is expected to escalate.
  • Trump’s assessment of the level of violence in Portland and DC is wildly inaccurate.
  • Trump’s sent random folks (ie, some in error, some with no criminal history) to a death camp (CECOT, El Salvador) for no reason (ie, flimsy reasons) without due process.
  • Trump wants to deport (and render stateless) Kilmar Abrego Garcia on pretty flimsy reasons.
  • Trump’s crimes and reasons to impeach and remove are numerous.
  • Trump was close friends with Epstein.
  • Trump admires some famous racists: William Levitt, Joe Arpaio, Henry Ford, Andrew Jackson and (to some degree, arguably) Hitler and Hitler’s generals.

  • Trump made statements suggesting Musk was involved with vote-counting computers that played a role in his margin of victory.
  • ICE, wearing ski masks and assisted by local police, is disappearing people, sometimes with nearly no reason and sometimes with excessive force. It’s not yet Pinochet’s Chile, but it could be.

    • the Hortmans

    • Gretchen Whitmer
    • Heather Heyer

  • CPAC 2022 hosted OrbĂĄn of Hungary, who has led a democratic backsliding.
  • Musk did a Nazi salute and then joked about it.
  • Tucker Carlson had a yearbook entry implying admiration for Harvey Milk’s assassin.
  • Ted Cruz, Ken Paxton, Mike Johnson, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas have all called for gay marriage to be repealed.
  • The US supports Israel’s war in Gaza, what many human rights groups and scholars now call a genocide.
  • Steven Miller is a white nationalist who has indirectly endorsed the “Great Replacement” theory and “white genocide” narratives.
  • Trump asked Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails and Russian military intelligence did try later that day.
  • Manafort gave internal Trump campaign polling data to Russian intelligence.
