And yet, neither #moderates nor #DSA are pushing #Trump #impeachment under Rule IX, so there's not much difference when it comes to actually removing a #fascist #autocrat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuxVauzKvNE My take here

Elder voters can easily keep any #autocrat in power in a country, for a very long time. They're universally forming the majority.

What they can't do is keep their sons and daughters from seeing how free life can be elsewhere, and lock them in, decade after decade.

It's their choice: either see your kids and grandchildren often, being part of their lives; or at best once per year, when they'll visit you from abroad, in your self-inflicted shithole life they will never choose to share, and will never choose to confine their own kids to.

"A state committing #genocide - #Israel - has joined forces with an ailing #superpower led by an aspiring #autocrat. Together they have launched a plainly #illegal #war, as defined by the UN charter, which prohibits the use of force unless a state faces an actual or imminent attack."

A quotation from Montesquieu

Extreme obedience assumes ignorance in the one who obeys; it assumes ignorance even in the one who commands; he does not have to deliberate, to doubt, or to reason; he has only to want.
 
[L’extrême obéissance suppose de l’ignorance dans celui qui obéit; elle en suppose même dans celui qui commande: il n’a point à délibérer, à douter, ni à raisonner; il n’a qu’à vouloir.]

Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) French political philosopher
Spirit of Laws [The Spirit of the Laws; De l’esprit des lois], Book 4, ch. 3 (4.3) (1748) [tr. Cohler/Miller/Stone (1989)]

A quotation from Shakespeare

KING RICHARD:      For within the hollow crown
   That rounds the mortal temples of a king
   Keeps Death his court, and there the antic sits,
   Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
   Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
   To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks,
   Infusing him with self and vain conceit,
   As if this flesh which walls about our life
   Were brass impregnable; and humored thus,
   Comes at the last and with a little pin
   Bores through his castle wall, and farewell, king!

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Richard II, Act 3, sc. 2, l. 165ff (3.2.165-175) (1595)

A quotation from Shakespeare

KING RICHARD: For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground
   And tell sad stories of the death of kings —
   How some have been deposed, some slain in war,
   Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed,
   Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping killed,
   All murdered.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Richard II, Act 3, sc. 2, l. 160ff (3.2.160-165) (1595)

Sooo. The first #elections in the #USA after #Trump took office went absolutely terrible for him.

And if you dig deeper it gets even worse, because #migration & #crime are becoming total non-issues with the electorate, while #CostOfLiving & #AffordableHousing are driving the people to the ballots.

Orange sucker can only go full #autocrat now and even that may prove to be too difficult with a population that won't let him & the infighting within the #GOP.

Still, fight is ongoing, not won.

Very good #ParkSlope but I don't see one #impeachment sign how do you figure we are going to get rid of a #fascist #autocrat? #nokings #trump #fascism #brooklyn

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

   Power is always gradually stealing away from the many to the few because the few are more vigilant and consistent; it still contracts to a smaller number, till in time it centres in a single person.
   Thus all the forms of governments instituted among mankind, perpetually tend towards monarchy; and power, however diffused through the whole community is, by negligence or corruption, commotion or distress, reposed at last in the chief magistrate.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1753-04-10), The Adventurer, No. 45

Having this son of an #autocrat on stage to revere and 'memorialize' anyone killed by #politicalviolence is so deeply cognitively dissonant that it becomes a self-parody.

Fricking insane.

Let’s not overlook the danger of an #autocrat having control of central bank assets.

It would be #grift on steroids.

Seeing Things – Trump’s Autocrat Check List – Liza Donnelly

 Trump’s Autocrat Check List

It’s long

By Liza Donnelly, Aug 06, 2025

I realise the above drawing only touches on what he is doing. Voting rights, immigration abuses and Esptein nonsense are the main stories in my reading today.

Texas Democrats who left the state to block a vote on redistricting voter maps say they received bomb threats at their hotel in Illinois where they are sequestering. “This is what happens when Republican state leaders publicly call for us to be ‘hunted down’. Texas Democrats won’t be intimidated,” John Bucy III, who represents Austin district, said. Govenor Abbott filed an emergency petition asking the state supreme court to remove Wu, the top Democrat in the state house of representatives, and declare his seat vacant. Legal experts say this tactic is a long shot. I am so proud of the Texas Dems.

Other states appear to be following Texas’s lead and considering mid-cycle redistricting . Ohio, Indiana and Missouri Republicans are exploring their options to try to gain more GOP seats by redrawing their voting maps. Democratic govenors are also exploring options, but it appears they don’t have the power to draw as many seats as the Republicans do. California, with 52 seats in congress, may be the best bet. Governor Gavin Newsom is “reportedly moving ahead with a referendum this fall to ask to adopt a new map that would add Democratic seats and override an independent redistricting commission.”

Senator John Osssof’s office reported hundreds of reported cases of human rights abuses in US immigration detention centers. Here is the report. The alleged reports include: deaths in custody, physical and sexual abuse of detainees, mistreatment of pregnant women and children, inadequate medical care, overcrowding and unsanitary living conditions, inadequate food and water, exposure to extreme temperatures, denial of access to attorneys, and child separation. This is not who we are.

in news of the Epstein files, apparently, JD Vance is holding a meeting at his home with senior officials to strategize on how to handle the Epstein Scandal. At the top of their list is whether or not to release the transcripts of justice department representative (and former Trump personal attorney) Blanche’s recent interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell. After the interview, Maxwell, who is serving time for trafficing girls, was transferred to a lower security, a nicer prison. Outrageous. The justice department subpoenaed a number of high profile people to interview them for more information about Epstein, among them Bill and Hillary Clinton. While it is public knowledge that they knew Epstein, so did Trump. Yet Trump was not subpoenaed. This is a tactic to stall and to try to show Trump’s MAGA base that he is doing something about the scandal. Everything but releasing the files, which he can do, but won’t.

At least 60% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of the Epstein case.

That’s all today for me. Hope you have a good Wednesday, what’s left of it. See you tomorrow, thank you so much for being here!
