Heidi Li Feldman, law professor and philosopher, strongly suggests reading and sharing. In this case, I shall comply...

This has to be read and shared. We are under threat from a vengeful, racist, misogynist, xenophobic, lying, defrauding would-be dictator with a major cult following. No hyperbole, just realism.

‘My ultimate and absolute revenge’: Trump gives chilling CPAC speech on presidential agenda

"Unbound and unhinged, ex-president vilifies immigrants before devolving into bizarre riffs, including calling himself ‘total genius’"

On Thursday, organizers for the event, sponsored by the American Conservative Union, wrote on X that they will be endorsing the 45th president.
“#CPAC endorses President Donald Trump for President of the United States. It’s time to bring back our country and freedom,” they wrote.

Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro won multiple standing ovations Saturday from US conservatives as he offered a glowing endorsement of his ally Donald Trump, sowed doubt over his own election defeat and attacked Covid vaccine mandates

"We can see here in America a migration of people going from #Democrat states to #Republican states. They're looking for a better life," he said.

The 67-year-old #Bolsonaro -- effectively a warm-up act for #Trump's keynote address at the convention later Saturday -- touched on many of the favorite talking points of the #US right wing, from transgender rights to the threat of socialism.

Dubbed the "Trump of the Tropics" for his brash manner and disdain of the media, Bolsonaro has also echoed his US ally in repeatedly casting doubt on his October election defeat to leftist Luiz Inacio #Lula da Silva.

"I had way more support in 2022 than I had in 2018, and I don't understand why the numbers said the opposite," he told the #CPAC crowd, who booed in solidarity.

Why is the war in #Ukraine important? "If we can get rid of Putin, so much of the destabilization of democracy goes away."

The rise of evangelical Christian movements is not organic, Mike explains on this week's episode of #MikeDrop. Instead, it is a sophisticated, well-funded effort with ties back to Moscow.

Why Trump and the GOP love Hungary’s authoritarian leader

“The reason that Orbán keeps winning is he has the control of a dictator,” said one political scientist. “So the question is, what are the Republicans in it for?"

He has extolled the value of racial purity, is vehemently anti-immigration, has cultivated close ties with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and was a speaker at this week’s Conservative Political Action Conference, known as CPAC, in Dallas.\
\
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, 59, is widely criticized around the world for systematically dismantling his country’s nascent democracy during his 12 years in power — but that hasn’t stopped him from emerging as a darling of many on the right in America.\
\
Orbán told a cheering crowd of conference delegates that he and other conservatives were in a battle to protect Western civilization against the forces of liberalism and mass migration.

Why the Hell Is CPAC in Hungary This Year?

BUDAPEST, Hungary — Matt Schlapp, the head of the American Conservative Union and organizer of its influential conference series CPAC, told NPR this week that he was bringing his event to Hungary because it “represents Christian conservative values” and American conservatives want to replicate this in the U.S. by learning from the country’s ultra-right-wing authoritarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán.
