capitalism, the famously non-coercive economic system
We should all want consensual exchange without coercion.
The “free market” core ideal is that outcomes come from voluntary actions of individuals, not coercive authority.
Communism is the exact opposite extreme, radical negative of Neoliberalism (unregulated Capitalism.)
No one should want this.

it makes me incandescently furious that roberts invented the idea of banning coercive conditions on funding to kill medicaid expansion and refuses to do a single thing about the fact that the trump administration's entire deal is "coercive conditions on funding"

a “shakedown” is a specific type of coercive action, it’s not just any tax you don’t like
I’m the furthest from a Trump fan. But the reality is that he would have to shake very hard to equate to the shakedowns of the unrealized cap gains tax and warren’s tax that were proposed.
And what will YOU do, Mark Cuban, when he comes to shake you down, too?

All to say: whatever that speech was, carefully calibrated coercive diplomacy it wasn't.
So we know a few things -- Rubio and Hegseth, along with Vance, were behind Trump as the yesmen/props they are. Hegseth will brief at 8am, whether that's a proper military briefing or the verbal equivalent of 🔥emojis remains to be seen. No diplomatic plan, just "peace must come quickly."

JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here
TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?

Second paragraph: notes the rhetoric doesn’t match the facts. Genuinely well done (💯, no snark).
Third paragraph: describes this as a “laboratory for fighting crime,” WHICH IT ABSOLUTELY IS NOT.
They do not care. AT ALL. about crime.
They care about SOCIAL CONTROL.
So 0/100 there.

The administration is trying to aggressively escalate its coercive power over the American people.
Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?
