So, #Trump is famously #lazy. Can't be bothered to read briefings, doesn't like working in general, would rather be enjoying leisure while paying a young woman to follow him around with a wireless printer, printing out any news stories she finds where people say nice things about Trump (no, I am not joking about this).

So people point to the amount of time he just takes off from "work" to go golfing. See, for example:
trumpgolftrack.com/

It's pointing out that of the 163 days he has currently spent in office, he was actually out-of-office golfing for 38 of them.

I'm not sure why these 38 / 163 days are a big deal. The Democratic party has been absent for 163 of them.

##Senator #handcuffed, people #snatched in public, military deployed: Trump’s slide to autocracy quicker than critics feared

Reads like checklist of milestones on road to #autocracy

- Opposition politicians handcuffed, arrested for only questioning authority or voicing dissent

- Judge arrested in her own courthouse

- Masked squads arrest, #disappear people in consciously #intimidating scenes

- Trump uses #military against #protesters

The Guardian · ‘He’s moving at a truly alarming speed’: Trump propels US into authoritarianismBy Robert Tait

Hello World!

I just spoke with a #US #Senator office about the #fediverse . They're asking for more information to help spread around #Capital #Hill in small bite sized easy to understand pieces. I'm obviously going to give them @elena beautiful #movie on the #fedi (with some light editing which she's agreed to).

I'll of course show them https://fediverse.info/ and https://fedi.tips/ which are great websites. I figured I'd give them examples of amazing #AP projects such as #mastodon , #pixelfed , #peertube , #bandwagon , and #bonfire ; even things like @admin .

I'd love to know from folks any EASY to understand projects that best encompass the Fediverse and explanations of it.

What are some projects you'd hand to your friends and family that would explain and display to them what we are?

I'll say this isn't going to happen over night. There's lot of questions around regulations, trust & safety, etc. But I feel it's pertinent to at least get the conversation going, especially considering the current state of disdain for big social media and the impending legislation around these things.

I'll finally state if there's anyone in this list that does NOT want to be involved with this, that's totally fine and I understand and I can exclude you from the materials I give to them.

So proud to call Alex Padilla my #Senator: "This son of Mexican immigrants grew up in working class Pacoima U went to MIT before returning home to help found a political machine that gave a voice to Latinos in the San Fernando Valley that they never had. He was the 1st Latino president of the L.A. City Council, served in both chambers of the state Legislature & also as CA's sec. of state before becoming CA's 1st Latino U.S. senator."

@SrRochardBunson

yes
and consider this
if #Trump #fascist #goons
feel free to assault an #American #Senator
what will they do to the citizens?
do Americans feel safe? in a country of law and right?
America is a full Fascist State.
All of this was already predicted to happen if Trump did came back to power
and do NOT think you can "vote" these fascists out of government
Now that they are in power they will NOT leave.
It will go way worse than this
this is just the beginning.

“‘Nobody’s going to walk with her’: can #JacintaNampijinpaPrice work with #Indigenous organisations if she becomes minister?”

Read the article yourself to grasp the support / lack of support for Price by Australian Indigenous leaders. Also read about the lack of reporting of protests at the Price press conference last Sunday.
