America is slipping into the authoritarian nightmare Putin dreamed of for us
This column by Thom is really a good collection of the things that are being done to destroy democracy. It's a long read so I'll only excerpt the first bit about the kidnapping of a judge during a hearing. There's much more - please read.
It didnt happen in some shadowy back alley or under the cover of night.
It happened in broad daylight in the heart of an American courthouse.
Federal agents, acting without even the decency of a signed warrant, stormed into Judge Hannah Dugans courtroom on Friday morning and dragged her away like a common criminal. No warning. No legal process. No respect for the law she had spent a lifetime upholding.
But they made sure the cameras were there, so America could see what they were doing. Because this was not about justice. This was about terror.
This was a warning shot aimed directly at the beating heart of Americas judiciary:
Fall in line or youre next.
