a bunch of government goons from ICE/HSI showed up to an elementary school in DC this morning and tried to detain a staff member in the parking lot but the person's colleagues intervened and stopped it and let that be a reminder to all of us that we can do that

No one should fool themselves into thinking Trump and Musk are "making government smaller." They're making government meaner, less useful and more dismissive of your rights. They're firing a lot of professionals, but will the payroll go down? You watch: They'll replace the pros with their cronies.

The moral depravity of the moment is inseparable from attacks on the rule of law and the deep constitutional rot in the United States.

There’s not a single member of the Trump administration that I don’t despise.

This is SO much worse than Hillary‘s emails—it’s not even in the same universe. Don’t let them make that bullshit comparison. She wasn’t sharing war plans. She wasn’t in an unsecured text group sharing classified documents and state secrets. She was actually qualified for her job and not a traitor.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Trump’s plan to brief Musk on China is a reminder that Trump has done hundreds of things that would ruin any other politician. But they haven't ruined Trump. Why? My only logical explanation is that his message of racism and sexism is so appealing to some people that it overrules everything else.

It’s time for the US to accept Trump’s election was a foreign funded coup d’état and that they are experiencing the seeding of a dictatorship.

MLK raised the possibility that “the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice.” Same for Schumer-Durbin Democrats. They’re killing us with “decorum.”

"You don't understand. Schumer had to do it. It's complicated, and you just don't get it." Actually, I would love to get it. I would love nothing more than to understand his reasoning and take it as sound. So, let me ask you: if a leader can't effectively communicate, why are they our leader?

White House economic policy is being shaped by self-appointed experts who know a lot more about cheating people than about running healthy businesses.

When elected officials aren’t allowed to question those in power, your democracy is in full collapse. Assemblymember and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani held back by police for trying to question Trump’s ethnic cleansing head Tom Homan. #FuckICE (📷 @mahoneyw)

Journalists who frame what's happening in Washington as Republicans vs. Democrats instead of fascism vs. democracy are missing the most important story of their lives.

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

I still can't believe there were so many ill-informed voters that they would return Trump to power. It's even more disturbing how many American voters recognized the vengeful, felonious Trump was bent on retribution and they were all in for it.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

The former head of Kazakhstan’s intelligence service recently claimed that Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, when the 40-year-old real-estate mogul first visited Moscow. This now makes a total of three KGB agents—located in different places and speaking at different times—who agree on that.

“The man occupying our White House has made a life of corruption and criminality by exploiting norms of courtesy.” And for those who believe it’s their higher duty to follow norms of civility in this urgent moment? It’s the pathway to America’s demise. www.americaamerica.news/p/when-civil...

The "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" boils down to this: Taxpayer money is being STOLEN, without congressional approval, to artificially boost the value of a highly speculative financial asset. You can like that asset, you can dislike that asset, that's your own business. But this is open embezzlement.
