Trump communicates at around a 4th grade reading and vocabulary level according to multiple linguistic analyses. His temperament is around that same level. He referred to Gavin Newsome as Gavin "Newscum." Clever if you're 10 years old, but for a world leader, it's just embarrassing.
1/ This is not one rogue staffer. The same State Dept that put a 27 year old in charge of "human rights" has met with UK far right figure Tommy Robinson, funded MAGA aligned think tanks in EU, & sanctioned an EU official for calling out censorship. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Authoritarianism needs someone to blame. It turns neighbors into threats, differences into danger, and fear into political power. Once citizens are taught to fear one another, they become easier to divide—and division makes concentrated power easier to build.

A lot of this is happening already. So the news media need to say plainly, in big headlines: Trump is building a dictatorship. Use the D word. Say that this is the most corrupt presidency in American history, which it obviously is. Say that the president is mentally unstable, which he obviously is.
The media are missing the story of our lives: a looming dictatorship
News outlets’ downplaying of the danger is shameful journalism neglect

1/ You know this story. A ruler treats the country like a family business. Courts bend, regulators hesitate, loyalists get rich. Public money turns into private leverage while ordinary people are told to wait, sacrifice, & be grateful. Sound familiar? 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Miller stripped legal representation from 24k detained children-some just 3 years old, then handed a $244M contract to an NGO whose founder faced SEX TRAFFICKING accusations. Now toddlers face deportation hearings alone on video screens. Miller is pure evil. #Pinks #OneV1 #ProudBlue
Stephen Miller's secret campaign against helpless kids
That it's happening in the shadows doesn't make it less of a moral blight.

Begging folks to wake up and realize that the massive increase in food borne illness and infectious diseases is not an accident. This was always the goal. The regime removed protections because they want “the vulnerable” to die. Fascism and eugenics go hand in hand.

1/ Right now, 1,300+ fake local news sites pose as your hometown paper. They filed 9,000+ records FOIA requests to mine voter data and police records for hit pieces. This is not journalism. This is a disinformation & intimidation machine. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
As Americans watch in horror, the swearing-in of Todd Blanche as Attorney General is not a transition of power — it is the formal opening of the most corrupt, predatory, and systematically evil reign of legal terror in the entire history of the United States.
he did this so people would blame the democrates.
Under Trump, labor force participation is collapsing as stable, well-paying jobs become harder and harder to find. Meanwhile, inflation keeps surging and wiping out wage growth. He's running the economy just like he ran his businesses — right into the ground.
