My list of concerns continues to grow daily - I have now reached a state of alarm.
Here are a few:
Removal of anyone that could hold him to account - Inspector generals.
Bullying top law firms
Allowing utter brutal, inhumane, disrespectful treatment of federal workers by musk/DOGE. It’s disgusting!
Dismantling USAID, ensuring the deaths of millions
Pardoning January 6 rioters
Attacking president Zelensky
Tariff chaos
Attempting to defund NPR & PBS
Targeting intellectuals in the name of Jewish people
I recently reread the book “Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China“, about 3 generations of women in China, ending at the end of chairman Mao’s reign. I reread it because I wanted to see how similar our situation was to theirs-the turning away from experts in every field-science, medicine, education-you name it! They called it a cultural revolution, but that is a complete misnomer. Instead it was an attempt to reverse and quash virtually anything of value - justice, beauty, community. To jail intellectuals, to create an atmosphere of fear, paranoia, & distrust, to humiliate & destroy the dignity of a peoples-is that what we have turned into?
There is no doubt Trump is following the authoritarian playbook - packing his administration with loyalists; replacing civil servants with loyalists; attempting to destroy the free press; trying to rob universities of their independence; politicizing the court system - where does it end?
Y’all are my representatives, what are you going to do about this? Do you honestly think what Trump is doing is OK?
