🚨🚨 Authoritarianism accelerated in just one day.
Yesterday Trump federalized DC police. Today his administration said there were plans to extend that beyond 30 days, which literally requires an act of Congress. Meanwhile, they’re preparing 600 troops to put down “civil unrest” while the Texas AG asked a judge to jail a political opponent. A different judge had to order ICE to provide beds and food to detained human beings, something the government admitted was happening.
This march to authoritarian control is happening in real time and changing hourly. You need to be taking action to stop it every day.
