"But it’s not just the individual threats that weigh on us. It’s the sheer volume. The autocrat’s playbook isn’t just about single acts of repression; it’s about creating a dozen crises at once. This is not incompetence; it is a strategy," explains tonight's guest @ianbassin.bsky.social
This is the right observation. We are in the middle of multiple domestic & international crises & we don't have a POTUS who can not only handle it, but he is actually the major contributor to these crises. youtu.be/6Qp5AZZ-N2A

I really thought there would be mass rallies and strikes by now. Brazil and South Korea did what the US (AG Garland) failed so dismally to do and punish an insurrection. Actually, Ashli Babbitt & co are celebrated and rewarded. Insanity.
I miss sanity. Seems like decades ago 💀
