Huzzah! Do not obey in advance!

Shakedown politics: obey or I end you

I’m at a thing for my kid so I can’t check your books, but @sarahkendzior.bsky.social ,didn’t you talk this?

EXCLUSIVE: Explosive new book claims the KGB began grooming 'young and vain' Donald Trump 40 years ago by saving him from financial ruin and turned him into a Russian asset who gave Putin 'everything he wanted' as president www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

I gasped

A quote today from the great Julia Davis. If Europe hasn’t figured out that Trump is bringing our 80-year collective security friendship, which has served us all well, to an abrupt and catastrophic end, you know it today. You are on your own. Act accordingly.

I suspect we’re going to be hearing more stories about failing farmers having their land bought for cheep—it’s not a coincidence. Is this why USAID was cut—to make way for billionaires?! Watch til the end and keep an eye on national parklands too. 🧵

To do list…

Folks, I can’t stress this enough: Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit!

Ok that made me laugh

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

24 Oscar nominations in this photo, all meaningless when you have to go up against Kate McKinnon in this sketch.

Perdón, yo sigo con el especial de SNL. Como puede ser que nunca hayan invitado a Meryl Streep en 50 años!!!! Insólito.

Same

Beautiful

I repeat…

Because of DJT, we’re less safe in planes. Period.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

We don’t have to lose it.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history. The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists. Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?

It used to be the safest form of travel. Is it still?

In this last month I have made the mental transition from "air travel is very safe" to "at least it would be a relatively quick way to go"

In 2015, I remember @sarahkendzior.bsky.social suggesting a similar exercise. Something like 'knowing histories of authoritarianism, what are the things you'll never do or never accept. Write them down.' The sooner the better in a rapidly spiraling world. This is perhaps a complement:

When North Korea thinks you’ve gone too far with crazy shit.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

NEW: Trump plans to slash USAID from 10K+ staff to just 290—12 for all of Africa, 8 for Asia, 10 for Europe. Founded by JFK in 1961, USAID promotes democracy, peace, and prosperity worldwide. Congress funds it through the Foreign Assistance Act and annual appropriations. In JFK’s own words…

"Seismic" meaning that Russell Vought was the architect of Project 2025. We warned you.

Some signs from the national protest outside the Ohio Statehouse.

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people
