This discussion on the impending threat to the midterm elections is well worth your time. Tim Snyder and I are on exactly the same page and it’s a page you should be on too.
This threat is VERY REAL and the key is to make preparations to counter the threat.

Republican New Hampshire Senate candidate John Sununu says he supports a work requirement for seniors on Medicare:
"I certainly support a work requirement for able-bodied Medicare recipients."
🚨Republicans just voted 50-49 to hand the Boundary Waters to a foreign mining company that will pollute its headwaters & ship every last mineral to China.
Now it goes to Trump's desk, who has financial ties to the billionaire behind the deal. They're not even pretending anymore.
my favorite Bible story is probably the one where Jesus starts an unprovoked, unnecessary and illegal war, blows up a building full of schoolgirls, destabilizes the world's economy, tells the Pope to go fuck himself, and then jets off for a long weekend of golf at Galilee-a-Lago
Imagine how right-wing journalists like @FoxNews and @DBrodyReports would have covered this if someone in the Biden or Obama administrations had quoted Quentin Tarantino thinking he was quoting the Bible.
@WhiteHouse Amazing. What was the tip for flying her to Nevada to play a happy taxpayer and now Washington DC to pretend she’s an average working person? Must be pretty lucrative.
What Trump has been doing to Cuba is unconscionable. He's singlehandedly forced the island into a humanitarian crisis over recent weeks.
An American president can’t be given carte blanche to threaten hostile takeovers of other nations and sow mass chaos around the world. Where's Congress? Do your job and rein in our out-of-control, imperialist president.
The Trump/Vance DOJ settled its Live Nation/Ticketmaster lawsuit.
Below is the Admin's spin, but this is another corrupt failure.
This monopoly still controls the entire live music industry (tours, venues, concessions, merch, tix), and uses its power to rip you off.
I’m just glad Markwayne Mullin is willing to give up so much of his time to do TV appearances all day describing to us what it’s like to be in combat while repeatedly referring to the defense secretary as President Hegseth and Iran as Iraq. Really making Oklahoma proud.
Billionaires start wars. Our kids bleed for them. It won’t be Trump’s children dying in the Middle East — it’ll be working-class kids sent to die for his ego. If you won’t sacrifice your child for that, call your reps NOW. Block this war. Demand a vote.
You might think what’s happening in Kansas doesn’t affect you because you’re not trans, but the same government telling us you need ID to vote, is showing us how easy it is for them to take our ID. Wake up.
Regular water sampling showed the Boarmans’ water still getting saltier, according to the test results. By this point, agency staff had also found pollution in the water of their neighbors, who live less than a quarter-mile away.
The SAVE Act hits Native voters hard.
Many tribal members rely on tribal IDs or lack easy access to passports and birth certificates.
Republicans know rural barriers are real and wrote the bill anyway.
Silencing Native voices is the point.

They’re not going to allow Real ID to be enough to register to vote. Not your driver’s license either.
You’ll have to appear IN PERSON to register, w/ a pile of paperwork.
So NO to this SAVE act that’s only meant to save republicans from resounding defeat.

For those who don't understand how the space-time continuum works. If someone comes over here on Temporary Protected Status and then has their protected status removed, they did not "come here illegally."
Removing the status does not send a backwards ripple through time, making their actual entry illegal. It means that they have 60 days to leave.
Most Presidents, upon removing that status (including Trump in the first term), have extended that with as much as an 18-24 month grace period.
They also only tend to remove that protected status when it's safe for the TPS recipient to return. Second-term Trump is doing none of this.
Most importantly, when you say, "they should do so legally," you should be consistent. If you really feel that way, then you should be against punishing people who did so legally--especially if you're going to put "Christian" in your bio.
