EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: Last term, people told him he couldn't have that military parade and that he couldn't send the troops to shoot protesters. But this time around, he's gotten rid of those people and with them the limits on his ability to play around with deadly force to make himself feel powerful. If you can't grasp that simple fact, you need not to be presenting yourself as an expert on defense policy or for that matter, as the editor of a major general interest magazine. Please visit, read,

EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: This, it turns out, is how a violent fascist takeover manifests itself operating in the uncanny nexus between completely made up pretexts and complaints and genuine power and violence. Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth go on TV, done up like Bratz dolls of themselves and make flamboyantly idiotic and fantastic claims about reality, while somebody's real head bangs into a real curb, and they end up locked up and facing extravagant criminal punishment, in the real criminal justice

EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: The New York Times would not allow itself to write a news headline asserting that the president is abusing his power, but it's perfectly happy to go fishing for a quote that will say that. In this case, the fishing line is still visible, as what Trevor Potter, the president of the Campaign Legal Center and a former Republican chairman of the Federal Election Commission says, specifically is, “and yes, this is an example of Trump publicly and improperly threatening,” etc. which

EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: It is June 4th, the date the tanks rolled in, drawing approval, at the time, from Donald Trump for the Chinese government's display of the "power of strength," as he told Playboy in an interview. But that was all very long ago and surely not relevant here in the 21st century. Please visit, read, and support INDIGNITY! https://www.indignity.net/

EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: The whole gambit of snatching people out of immigration court completely contradicts the message of the Trump campaign and administration, that it is turning ICE loose to seize and deport the most dangerous criminal elements in the country because Trump's preferred arms of federal law enforcement are lazy and incompetent, and because the real point is to create a spectacle of brutality, instead of trying to track down hardened criminals, they are literally going after the most

EASY LISTENING DEP’T. If you're a person who cares about Venezuelan babies, this may tug at your heartstrings. But given that the people who are running this country hate Venezuelan babies and want the worst for them, the story reads like a more literally constructed version of a triumphalist memo that the White House would put out.

EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: The president of the United States somehow becomes an adjective attached to a “broadside,” a broadside that then “embroils” the South African president. This generates a mood, a mood of “tension.” And then comes a little action, sharing a video, but the video is only "echoing false assertions over white genocide." “Over” is just a weird space-filler, wrong choice of preposition there. Apparently, “of” would have left the line too short. But what is this “echo” of an

EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: On the front of this morning's New York Times, four columns wide, is a picture of a greeting between the lawless strongman leader of a corrupt petrostate and Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, as the latter stretches out his hands to welcome Donald Trump. “During President Trump's first term,” the piece begins, “the idea that special interests and governments were buying meals and booking rooms at his hotels set off legal and ethical alarms about the potential for
