“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” – The Party (1984)
“Just remember, what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what's happening.” – Donald Trump
The destruction of the Department of Education framed as "education" is 1984's "Ministry of Truth" all the way, as is their massive eradication of words they don't want to see in government documents. Words like "equality", "biased", "inequality", "pollution", "racism" and of course, "Gulf of Mexico". Does it get any more Orwellian with this malevolent and mendacious messianic autocracy?
Maybe a lot more…
The Glorification
of Biggest Brother, part one:
The Glorification of Biggest Brother, part two:
Behold the drone spectacle of the Tangerine Tyrant’s "World's Best" ego without substance, empathy, or "ending the war in 24 hours". Only the "liberator" of cop-beating thugs who tried to overturn an election for him.
This is fascist propaganda only a dictator and his cult would like. So naturally it’s MAGA all the way.
When will Americans wake up to this banana republic tyrant worship? Or is it already far too late for it to matter? Like every dictator Trump wants a police state to enforce his cruelties and to keep all dissenting citizens in their place. "We're going to give our police their power back," he told rallygoers in Waukesha, "and we are going to give them immunity from prosecution."
Presto! An autocrat placed above the law by a corrupt Supreme Court takes the obvious next step to dictatorship, a "legally" unaccountable force of thugs in uniform. Adding further desecration of the rule of law by his fascist regime he's now openly defying court orders.
We must all love our Biggest Brother or face the consequences. Recall the way Trump would withhold covid equipment from states whose governors failed to publicly praise him.
And more recently at the White House Governors' Conference, Maine Governor Janet Mills referred to Trump's criticism of state policies concerning transgender athletes with, "I'll see you in court".
In response, the dictator demanded submission. "We need a full-throated apology from the Governor herself, and a statement that she will never make such an unlawful challenge to the Federal Government again".
For its "offense" by not harshly punishing anti-Netanyahu protestors adequately Columbia University is submitting its autonomy under Trump's jackboot. After being threatened by Trump the Paul Weisse Law Firm capitulated into serving him.
Watch
for this kind of intimidation and punishment to be regularly inflicted upon
businesses, agencies, universities, governors, and states who fail the fealty
test.
Now let’s note the contrast and reactions between property damage and brutal political violence.
"I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla." – Donald Trump
Boohoo. Someone is reaping what he sows, but not nearly comparable in the financial pain, anxiety, and life disruption he's inflicted on thousands of Americans, including Trump voters.
“If burning Teslas make you furious, but watching thousands of federal workers get stripped of their jobs, healthcare, and pensions doesn’t move you—YOU are the problem. If scorched cars spark more outrage than billions being slashed from cancer research, humanitarian aid, education, and support for the most vulnerable—your moral compass is broken. This ain’t about Teslas. It’s about twisted priorities, cold-hearted politics, and willful ignorance.” - Bishop Talbert Swan
“But if you viciously beat police officers over the head with flag poles and build a gallows and noose outside the Capitol to hang Democrats, you're let out of jail. Got it. This is how despotism works. Enforce the laws except when they are broken in service of the regime.” – Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy
This is where we are. Will enough sane and decent voices be heard over the din of despotism?
I sincerely hope the human species can survive its tendency to revert to Dark Age beliefs and manages to evolve beyond our gullible tendency to believe in narcissistic and charismatic white nationalist demagogues who disparage science, empathy, and education.
Tragically the human species is far easier to manipulate through fear-mongering lies than by facts and reason. And this is exactly how the vast radical Right media machine is winning the propaganda war. The lying and hateful authoritarian voice of MAGA is at war with our free press and has shut down the democracy-promoting Voice of America, literally and figuratively.
Inevitable and widespread misery may be the only turning point for this country.
Only
the unlikely rapid expansion in the evolution of human conscience and
consciousness can really help us, I'm afraid.

Bravo! Truth telling with gusto.
Unfortunately the MAGA zombies and Muskovites of Amerika are so marinated in their ignorance and hero worship of an Empty Suit that they'll watch America burn while they cheer and praise their Empty Suit.
1984 is the perfect imagery to hold up of the hellscape T***** and his Thuglies are creating.
Bernie and AOC are an example to follow along with Patrick Murphy. The scales are falling from some of the MAGA Eyes as broken promises literally slap them in their faces. Get them to see what they did to themselves and break the fever. It just happened to one in my family who was a fervent T***** supporter for years. Just getting ready to apply for SSA benefits and seeing it might not possible without a lot of painful time, steps, and effort. Seeing his own folly come back to haunt him has been very hard for him to accept and take accountability for his actions.
I guess it's beginning for him as money talks and bullshit walks. He's no longer yelling about the price of eggs, because he can't afford to buy them.
Democrats are facing the worst ratings in decades in my polls and others, dropping to as low as 29% favorability in the CNN poll, down from 62% in 2008. The reasons are pretty clear — after the 2024 election, voters reevaluated the job that President Joe Biden did and began scratching their heads at the actions and positions of Democrats in Congress. They don’t stand for anything. First, they only wanted EVs, but now they are destroying them.
They are wrong on every issue. Moderates are not allowed in the party. It’s so far-left, it’s gone into a major reset, I expect they will have an unexpected wipeout in next year’s midterm elections.
Democrats once supported a balanced budget, tough immigration policies, andd smaller government. Now they are blaming MAGA for their Party's collapse. That was in the 1990s and its history.
Just Musing,
Yes, the blowback is real, and it will be getting more intense as Trump and Musk destroy our government, divide and demonize, take us into a recession or depression, and alienate the US from allies.
Free speech is for MAGA only. Just love Biggest Brother if you don't want trouble.
The New York Times reports Mayor Eric Adams’s office instructed New York officials to avoid criticizing Trump and has screened agency statements closely.
Thank you for kindly sharing your opinion on “my polls and others”, whatever that means. Yes, a 29% favorability for the Democratic Party does seem abysmal, but the same poll shows the Republican Party at only 36%. Clearly a two thirds majority of the country isn’t fond of either party.
You claim the reasons are pretty clear for the Dems low rating but offer no opinion on why Republicans as well meet with only minority approval. Trump’s own numbers are sliding, and he’ll spend the rest of his life under 50% approval.
You indicate disapproval of Biden’s actions, yet Trump has tried taking credit for some of Biden’s infrastructure projects. Republicans do that all the time. Republicans who voted against Obama’s stimulus also tried to take credit for it.
So, yes, Dems DO stand for infrastructure and progress. They also stood for a strong bi-partisan border funding bill that would have hired 1,500 officers, more immigration courts and more fentanyl detectors. But Trump ordered it killed, again so HE could take credit later.
What makes you think Democrats are vandalizing Teslas? As with almost all Republican accusations, like “Dems are commies”, this isn’t supported by any evidence whatsoever.
Musk fired thousands of people without showing justification. Many happened to be Republicans and Trump voters. Why wouldn’t they be just as likely to retaliate against Musk as anyone else?
The low approval of the party doesn’t translate into votes for Republicans. It reflects disappointment in losing to Trump, not abandonment. Your perspective on “moderate” and “far left” in the party would be highly biased, of course. Your malevolent mendacious messiah calls Democrats commies, so that indicates how extremely off the mark the fascist Right’s perspective really is. How many times have I asked Republicans for ONE quote from a Democrat that could resemble communist ideology? No answer ever came because there is no answer. It is a lie meant to demonize and smear people who oppose Trump. It’s an old Nazi tactic, of course.
Another interesting item you neglected from the poll with likely ramifications for the midterm election would be this:
“Political independents remain likelier to see the Republicans as out of the mainstream – 57% call the GOP too extreme, while 48% say the same of the Democrats.”
Even this is embarrassing for our country. Any party that supports a criminal who sent a violent mob to beat cops bloody to overturn an election, and them pardoned them, is by definition radical and extremist. If the highly partisan and corrupt Supreme Court hadn’t codified the unconstitutional fiction of presidential immunity, Trump would be in prison where he belongs.
Failing at good faith dialogue. Anonymous resorts to his racism with, "Despicable Jasmine Crockett claims people should ‘punch’ Republicans, hit some over the head ‘HARD’."
It's OK for Giuliani to call for "trial by combat". It's OK for Trump to tell his thugs to "fight like hell" and watch them beat cops bloody to overturn an election. And they PARDON them.
No wonder these racist thugs get compared to Nazis.
I just can't imagine why this story isn't on FOX(R)...
Hegseth: “Under the previous administration, we looked like fools. Not anymore.”
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
By Jeffrey Goldberg editor in chief of The Atlantic
The world found out shortly before 2 p.m. eastern time on March 15 that the United States was bombing Houthi targets across Yemen.
I, however, knew two hours before the first bombs exploded that the attack might be coming. The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing.
This is going to require some explaining.
Trump: “I don’t know anything about it.”
