Thank you Olga for chronicling Trump’s daily assaults on liberal democratic values and institutions. This is very much ‘dark night of the soul’ work but absolutely vital. You have my gratitude for shining a light into all the corners of this appalling regime.
Thank you for your tracking and coverage. With all your background I seriously wish there were more pointers tgan just to pressure our congress reps. No doubt, you do too.
Yes. I have had my gaze locked on this since the payments scandal exposed how many systems DOGE rapidly accessed and at what levels. Thanks as always, Olga, for pulling the threads together.
I'm sending this to many compatriots at work and in local pre-democracy groups. I'm assigning it to my college students. I work in Minnesota so won't be fired -- at least not yet. Thank you for your reporting, writing, and historical insight. This is a national emergency.
Your Trump Tyranny Tracker has illuminated all of this in real time. Thank you for consolidating it here, and writing so clearly about the dire implications. This is an excellent piece to share with people. Thank you.
Question for Olga: Whatever the percentage (I read somewhere yesterday that it is roughly 25-20% of Americans), why would any American citizen desire authoritarian rule?
I can see why those at the top would want it, since they believe that supporting the Dear Leader keeps them secure (although I think that is false ultimately because once they cease to become useful….well…). I cannot wrap my head around why any average American would align with authortarianism and want to demolish our democracy in order to achieve it.
Thank you Ms. Lautman for shining light during these dark times. We can't resist what we don't see.
We must grasp the reality that their goal of a surveillance state will be implemented through the use of state terror. They will traumatize people then take advantage of their disorientation to take further control.
Read with dread. Now our questions are being explained about Musk and DODGE’s purpose. Because, another monster sits in the wings ready to emerge full throttle! The dragon. 🐉 God help us all.
Thank you for your honesty, bravery & hard work
Wow-this is distressing. Thanks for your insight and hard work.

I believe Trump has an agreement with Putin to present him with a cowed and broken United States.
If the difference between asset and agent is knowledge of one's role, he is definitely an agent.
Everything he does in regard to Europe, and our national security apparatus, screams collusion with Russia.
I believe that is treason.

Two posts side by side — yours and this one: https://open.substack.com/pub/themouthyrenegadewriter/p/im-fired-up-as-fuck-about-trumps?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=3khs20 — and it's terrifying. Really scary.
Lawyers are talking about “KIDNAPPING CHARGES” for illegally taking these 239 men out if the country.

You should be in office! Thank you! I will share widely.
Its time the harm they have created visits them
Bingo! How do you bang this into everyone's head.

Well said, "Read with dread". Same for me.
