TRUMP. NOTHING BUT TRUMP

trump's parade is this weekend and he said those who protest it will be met with "very heavy force".

Yeah because assembling and protesting is illegal.

Oh…wait.

I read an interesting article written by a reporter who lived in Russia during Putin’s rise and left shortly after the start of the war in Ukraine. In short she wrote that people are generally resilient (or have a survival instinct) where we tend to adapt to new normals pretty quickly. She saw that in Russia but it was a much slower change. Institutions and rights and norms were gradually eroded and people almost seemed to forget that anything resembling free media (for example) ever existed. She was comparing that to what’s rapidly occurring in the U.S. but didn’t speculate as to whether the rapidity would end up making a difference.

IDK.
