Hey, your "nothing's going to happen" reply has been seen and *deeply* deeply appreciated. If you'd like to go sit in the corner with your depressing doomerism while the rest of us try to make something happen, that'd be terrific. No, no, a little farther away. Keep going.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

In an admission of intellectual weakness, the Washington Post’s billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos, announced that the paper will no longer publish perspectives critical of the economic status quo. If his ideas are defensible, why is he so squeamish about debate?

One of the key points of non-violent direct action is to force the authorities to stop you -- to force their hand, to make them arrest you, and yes, perhaps even make them lash out in violence -- and to broadcast those images to an otherwise apathetic public. Be confrontational, not compliant.

"Musk isn't going to obey the law, so who cares." "The Supreme Court will just throw out the case, so who cares." "Republicans aren't going to let us have elections, so who cares." I'm blocking these people on sight now. Doomerist defeatism isn't helping anyone here. Log off and touch grass.

Genuine question: is there any authorization, anything at all, for a so-called Department of Government Efficiency? an executive order? Anything? Is anyone working for that “department” a government employee? Or is it just a straight up private sector takeover?
