This whole week has been fucking bonkers, I’ll tell you what. It’s Project 2025 in full fucking swing; the entire country is off Medicaid (or maybe not); all grant money is frozen (or maybe not); half the populace is to be deported (or maybe not)c and now this. Or maybe not. It’ll obviously be challenged in the courts.

The true essence of a dictatorship is in fact not its regularity but its unpredictability and caprice; those who live under it must never be able to relax, must never be quite sure if they have followed the rules correctly or not.
