Exactly. Do not be distracted. For all I know, Musk v Trump is smoke and mirrors. All I know is what’s in print in P2025, i.e. Vought wanting fed employees to be traumatized and resign.

It’s a rare good day. It’s not often that the whole coup-regime-fascist authoritarian blitz makes me smile a teeny bit.

Freudian slip from Fox? “Former president “?

I’m so jaded from hearing the American version of this discourse, but here’s a perspective that may be closer to home for some of us. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

My latest: Jasmine Crockett is clear choice to lead Oversight Dems I told you I wouldn’t pick sides in this race because I don’t have a vote. Then I realized it’s up to all of us to make sure our party gets this one right. 3,421 words. Please consider reading and passing this along!

How many times do we have to say “words matter”? Russia will “retaliate” and Trump relays that? No push back that if anyone was retaliating, it was Ukraine, right? The country that has been invaded? It’s like Trump condones Russia’s aggression and its war crimes, because, I guess, Krasnov? 😡

Well, that was a so wrong read despite it not being new. It’s hard to keep hearing that times are indeed scary and that it’s got a basis in reality. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...

This utter lack of humanity must not be normalized or quietly ignored. I’m so furious reading this latest strategy to keep a vulnerable population disempowered. www.propublica.org/article/trib...

Just a rambling FWIW We're heading into Week 20 of 208. That's almost 10% of the way through. Of course, 208 weeks of this Regime = 1.82M hours of this crap. With so much competing for attention, we mustn't get distracted and we must pace ourselves. Illegitimi non carborundum

Unjustifiable waste When government employees had, say, training in a location deemed to be pleasant, it would make it into the media. They'd point out all sorts of other ways that $$ could be used (x # of jobs, computers for students, medical research, etc.).

Well, isn't that nice of her to invite people to embrace "her" lord and savoir, Jesus Christ. I realize that there is no actual separation of church and state in the US, but her cemetery saunter of sanctimonious superiority is DISGRACEFUL. More us versus them crap & lovely distraction from MEDICAID!

@michellegoldberg.bsky.social 's piece is so excruciatingly pertinent. It is not an easy read, or more specifically, it is discomforting to consider the implications, but I don't want to turn away from anything that reveals a bit more insight into the cruel Regime. *Gift article
