I share news links on bluesky–and sharing national news in the new Trump era here is so fraught with darkness, it’s like I’m a street corner doom crier. Trump and Musk are normalizing hatred, criminal corruption, racism, plundering, and cruelty. The intensity, the feverish focus on destruction of norms says: they won’t accept a vote that would stop this.
I keep warning about the vote — but we MUST vote. So we must prepare now to protect the vote. Proactively. The whole tone of this administration is “this is a coup”. They are deconstructing regulatory agencies, regulations, and every institution they can. That says, WE WANT IT ALL. And they’re eroding the vote.
I call on the ACLU to do more proactively; I call on all progressive organizations, and congress persons, to proactively challenge voter suppression. We must act in congress, the senate and the courts. Democratic oversight of voting must be restored.
This isn’t all Trump. It’s Project 2025, conservative “think tanks”, far-right PACS, the Koch Bros, etc. It’s all been planned for a long time.
