Lately, the Trump regime has been throwing bright shiny objects at the people and the media and we have been chasing after them like greyhounds racing after mechanical rabbits. Examples: The tariff blitz and retractions, $400 million 13-year-old airplane, buying and then attacking Greenland, making Canada the 51st state, confiscating Panama, ordering a $45 million dollar parade on Trump's birthday, disbanding NATO, abandoning Ukraine, turning Gaza into a Gold Coast, and the outrageous list goes on.
Everyone, take note of these distractions, file lawsuits, but we need to laser focus on the only guardrail we have remaining against authoritarianism: the courts. We are already in a Constitutional crisis because court orders are being ignored. Judges and their families are being threatened. A Trump official stated, “I don’t care what the judges think.” This seems traitorous doesn't it? Well, if you think so, defend the courts with all your powers. Support organizations like Mark Elias's Democracy Docket and fight Trump's looming Putinesque kingdom in America.
