I agree with everything you said. None of us knows what might happen.

But for everyone out there screaming "Do something!" (Myself included), this is undoubtedly something.

The alternative is to do nothing in fear of what Trump might do.

That's what Trump wants. He has the power that he's given. To acquiesce is to grant him power.

That's what every law firm and university that's capitulated to Trump has done, so I'll support Van Hollen's open defiance any day of the week.

He's probably about as safe as anyone can be. A sitting US senator is among the most powerful people in the world.

Would Trump gladly imprison Van Hollen in a foreign concentration camp? Absolutely.

We're not there yet, and acts of resistance, no matter how small, are how we prevent us from getting there in the first place.

They 100% don't care, even if they know. That said, this ruling is absolutely the right thing and maybe, just maybe, some ICE agents will be held in contempt.

President Donald Trump has moved to fire several senior White House National Security Council officials soon after he was urged by far-right activist Laura Loomer to purge staffers she deemed insufficiently committed to his Make America Great Again agenda, according to several people familiar with the matter Thursday

This part kills me. Firing people on the advice of Laura Loomer! My God.

All good!

Tbh, "it's a bot posting AI slop" is prob a good default assumption these days.

Yeah, this is more of a tabloid; I should've found a better source before posting. Here's an Axios article about the same thing:

I think it's becoming more necessary with every passing day. I don't trust reddit, not with the Trump regime in power.

There's actually a part of me that finds this heartening. This guy is completely and utterly ignorant, but he's not a cultist.

Doomer do-nothings are so incredibly frustrating. I get the frustration, but spreading apathy is not useful. Authoritarianism flourishes when apathy takes root among the populace.

Facts.

The clown bus is dropping off all its occupants; it's a shame they're all of the Pennywise variety.

That's perfect; saving this one.
