As people bend their knee to Trump, hoping they gain power by suppressing the rights of others, we learn Percival Everett’s “James” won the Pulitzer Prize. “James” is based on the character “Jim” in Mark Twain’s “Huckleberry Finn”. “Jim” was a slave. “James” is an enslaved man who projects pride. “James” would not bow down to Trump and the Conservatives.
One can imagine a writer reworking “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” with “Tom”. Tom suffered for not revealing the location of enslaved women who fled the plantation. He was a hero, not the servile abomination put in the minds of many. Tom would never bend the knee to Trump. This book could be followed by another”Sambo”. “Sambo” would be Black MAGA.

Linda McMahon the Secretary of Wrastlin wrote a letter to Harvard
Harvard responded by correcting her grammatical errors
“The question is not whether Trump is personally fit to exercise the power he seeks, but whether any president should have it to exercise at all.”
I agree that we need to be judicious about which powers we grant the executive, regardless of who is in power. On the other hand there are certain powers that make sense for the executive to wield (such as emergency tariffs) with the expectation that the president will wield them in good faith. It’s unfortunate that we now need to childproof the executive just because we have a bad actor in the presidency.
We can’t keep doing this. America has a robust system of check and balances, but it’s not infallible. If our elected officials are bent on breaking down these checks and balances then the system will crumble. We need people who want the system to work. We can’t keep electing people who hate our Constitutional order.
Conservatives live in fear. Because they are gullible, they will bow to authority t calm themselves. Republicans in Congress cower as Trump sets insane and erratic tariffs. Murkowski admits she is afraid.
They still see caravans invading the county and are willing to ignore due process for immigrants. Grabbing people off the streets and transporting them overseas is fine. Destroying Black history is a great thing to Conservatives.
They have no principle where the goalpost can’t be removed for them. They talk a big game, but Mexico, Canada, and Europe are laughing.
