   ”Donald Trump has been playing “Donald Trump” for 60 years. … It is charades and Trump is a skilled performer.”

     ”Speed is a friend to the autocrat… Trump needs a military that is willing to fire on Americans. The more time soldiers have to see through his fabricated pretenses, the less likely they are to fire. Trump needs frenzied, frightened soldiers who lack the ability to discern reality. … But it’s key to note that it’s not only the military Trump is using for violence, but non-state militias and “deputized” civilians.”

     ”We are going to be stuck with an anti-freedom SCOTUS for a long time, unless the court is expanded or dispelled. But many members are being threatened, blackmailed, or bribed by Trump’s cohort, in addition to being corrupt on their own… It is possible that when Trump is no longer among us there may finally be a reckoning of his crimes, assuming they do not still fear retaliation. … They may be relieved when Trump is gone, even if they are applauding him now.”

     ”The years ahead will be difficult, but that makes it all the more important to hold onto your values… Positive change will likely come through shifts in political culture rather than through elections.”

     ”Trump has always been open about his plan to destroy the US. Project 2025 gave a road map. … I do think plutocrat donors play a major role, but so do religious fanatics of varying faiths and tech oligarchs who see human beings as disposable. Refuse their vicious logic, think around them, and hold on to your humanity.”

     ”Pay attention to the tech oligarchs and their goals: not only Musk, but Peter Thiel and his frontman, JD Vance. It was interesting that the Trump/Musk feud about Epstein occurred hours after Thiel’s financial ties to Epstein’s estate were revealed, causing that story — an important story — to fade from view.”

     ”I feel very sorry for teachers since so many kids are handing in papers written by ChatGPT. … It sounds so cheesy, but I hope those students get that they really are cheating themselves. Creativity and critical thinking are blessings not to be squandered! I’m infuriated by the tech corps for blasting AI everywhere and sad for educators tasked with dealing with such sweeping changes.”
