Is it just me or has the last 24 hours of U.S news been particularly ominous, even by the standards of the last 3 weeks?
Feels like the wheels are coming off the bus even faster than I’d assumed.

GOP reps cancelling all future town halls seems like an omen.
And adding "town halls must be held once a month, and by proxy more often" to my wishlist of reforms.
But I’m going to keep driving cause I don’t have a choice right now
I guess we'll find out.
Just a handful of military.
…again 😩
I think I’ve become numb
(tho not complacent)
While The Guardian and The Independent are fast becoming the most reliable newspapers of record for the US. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/26/trump-cabinet-elon-musk
This one headline is good, though.
I'm so tired

Which is probably their plan.
i mean, there is a plan to cause devastation, to be clear, but they assume that they will retain power in the aftermath, that an America under their rule will still reign supreme on the global stage by default
what they don't understand is that they only have power and comfort BECAUSE of the systems they are trying to demolish
Yes, yes, we understand that. Can you just help us get the chickens out of here right now though.
That's how long it took in Germany.
Not even mentioning 3d print.
There's a contingent of preppers who really have been getting ready for DECADES for "gov coming for our guns!"
It is the difference between January 6, an the peaceful protests now.
And an assumption that the government apparatus will all be theirs to control.
I just don't think that most people are that far gone. I really don't.

What is highlighted today to me is: between Covid 2025, the slow AF courts, global warming and impending wars -- if we don't purge these Constitution traitors soon, the national and world damage will become irreversible.
Do they not realize a HUGE portion of their income depends on people getting their Social security, Medicaid & Medicare? Those places aren’t viable w/out that money.

Triggers I fear more than others;
*unemployment numbers
*US membership in the UN
*isolated violent act becoming another Reichstag fire
*judiciary permanently neutered
I’m sure I’m forgetting several equally horrible things.
I think the limiting thing is helpful at least as a directing focus tool.
Andrew and Tristan Tate have been released by Romanian authorities after significant pressure by the Trump administration.
They are en route to Florida via private jet.

Getting hit with the flu vax meeting cancelation, the SSA layoffs, the DoJ nominees saying they don't necessarily have to obey court orders, the trans military ban and SCOTUS taking the USAID cuts at one time was a lot

I think it's gonna be up to us, whatever that means.
that's going to be a huge economic shock
2 million people are about to be not spending anything for a while
But now it's super-clear that they're actively trying to tank the economy, and they'll succeed.
It works for the coming economy.
It works for the coming no-knock raids and camps.
What's more, they also have many ways to profit from economic turmoil if they have foreknowledge that it's going to happen.

Like, this is genuinely the level they're operating on, that anything that depends on government money/activity is bad & deserves defunding. Nevermind Tesla, SpaceX, & Starlink of course
Seeing healthcare stocks crater following last nights budget vote should be a major alarm bells moment for the GOP but if they just steam ahead…
Good luck USA…especially the red areas.
*We're the adults*
the majority of folks would rather let a thing break and buy a new thing, rather than fix or maintain the thing they have.
this does not bode well for governments.
(I know you know this, @ everyone, etc etc)
i really feel like the weirdness of it is starting to overwhelm me, like it's so weird to see all this happening and then like go to work and everyone wants to talk about the quarterly budget or w/e
JUST WAIT TIL WE FIND OUT HOW MANY TYPE II MILITIA HAND CREWS ARE MISSING.
JUST WAIT AND SEE HOW MANY ENGINES HAVE NO CREWS.
a season of desperate actions, fatal direct attacks, and apocalyptic tiktok evac videos.

Gonna be real interesting to see if fire season is also blackout season across the west.
Calfire is gonna be fighting alone at this rate.
And mutual aid is going to take a serious kick in the dick-especially for air support.
I'm not sure I want to have a look-see at the CWN contracts.
(I'm massively worried if something gets going north of 80, east of I-5 to the borders.)
If we have to be more cautious operating them that generally means fewer hydro imports from BC/WA/OR and that's gonna make for some bad days ahead.
even if FEMA survives, they won't have any inter-agency resources to pull from. like, none. they'll all be out west fighting fire
I just feel like Mr Goddamned Sunshine here. 😬
Regime consolidation 📉
But we all KNOW RFK et al. will always be able to get them. Just not "We, the Little People".
That is an ACT OF VIOLENCE.
We need to recognize it as such.
The things these freaks will do if musk gets them fired, takes their social security, shuts down Hooters, etc? It won't be well-planned regime propaganda, but it will be a spectacle, for sure.

RFK will make us all sick,
Elon is such a dick...

“The speed that this happens with has to take everyone’s breath away,” Yarvin said on a podcast. “It should just execute at a rate that totally baffles its enemies.”

So they literally think the answer is " flourish" when they are no longer weighted down by the rest of us "parasites"
They're causing so much damage so quickly, stealing so much public wealth & goods, what will be left to save? What resources or power will we have left to save it with?
This is the 'Shock and Awe.' Too much calculated collapse for any one person to process.
Probably get a bigger protest if you change the name of the local Little League team
As far as these oligarchs go, they're going to find out that elected government was a very convenient heat shield.
Now that they're openly asserting they're in charge they'll also be holding the bag on the consequences.
Oh well. I phonebanked, postcarded and door knocked for the nice lady who could’ve saved us all; so I’ll watch it burn I guess.
This is not going to end well unless something drastic (military coup and removal of all the MAGA evildoers in power) happens in the next few weeks or months.
also, there is NOT an agency that is responsible for stopping him. We were supposed to stop him at the ballot box. That's the essence of the word 'democracy'.
i'm realllllllllllllllllllllllllly worried what's going to happen once someone takes a shot at musk
Not numb like I don't care but more numb like I'm a passenger on the Titanic, having a drink on the mezzanine deck and I see the iceberg coming.
I bang on the windows of the cabin, screaming about the iceberg, and they have security put me in the drunk tank.
If you have no hope, you have nothing to fear.
And these little sadistic tricks get off on fear, which for once in my life, I am lacking.
Are you just uninformed that they're the minority, and hence, have no power?
The administration isn't trying to pass laws to do things. That Democrats could filibuster. You can't filibuster straight up ignoring laws.
How about nonstop appearances in social media, online, print, TV? Be noisy like our favorite Republikkkans.
AOC is an effective messenger, Bernie, by taking it to GOP districts, is as well. Other Dems?
How will they be 'sand in the gears'? What bills are Republicans trying to get past filibuster?
Republicans are literally breaking the laws because they can't pass them through Congress.
Do you understand how any of this works?
Or if they did, they read it as a playbook and not the world's most cautionary tale of a government and nation gone completely EVIL.
