The Death of America!

Trump is using the power of the Presidency to harass, charge and imprison his political enemies.

What was unthinkable in the past is now commonplace under Trump 2.0.

The US is quickly sliding into Fascism!

It's past time for our most conseq news orgs to recog:🚨Trump's leading an authoritarian regime.

The closest the NYT will come to telling readers the truth: “promoting an aura of auth nationalism,” or: certain actions “increasingly remind scholars of the way authoritarian ldrs in other Cs” behave.

No guardrails anymore -no one inside the exec branch/ruling party in Congress/RW maj of the SC -won't tell him no.

Dom media insts won’t call him out.

"I’m deeply concerned about the🚨new FDA move limiting only to “high-risk groups.” CDC data shows those 50+ face rising risks, 65+ up to 340x higher death risk. Add: chronic disease:➡️71% of US adults are at elevated risk!

Underlying conds like diabetes or heart disease, plus LTC res (35% of deaths, <1% pop), & minorities w access barriers heighten risk. Even w this chg,⚡vaccination remains critical for all adults. Talk to your health provider -stay protected!"
