I don’t get how they have the staff and time to churn out these orders. As soon as you can react, the next order drops. We bombed Iran, remember that? They’re erasing climate change initiatives. They are showing up at courthouses to disappear people. It’s hard to keep up. I guess that’s the point.

It could be argued that the more aggressive moves to fast track a dictatorship are a shiny object designed to distract us from all of the progress they are making with all of these institutions. The real issue though is the institutions themselves clearly want to submit. It’s hard to block that.

What is needed is to start imposing costs on these places. Boycotts, protests, etc. It’s a hard thing to do as activists though. There is only so much bandwidth. It would be better if blue states put some muscle into this, but so far they have been arguably more useless than congressional Dems.
