It’s been wild to see so many headlines about the firings at the Joint Chiefs of Staff and none of them explicitly saying “Trump fired the one Black person and the one woman so he could have an all white male Joint Chiefs”

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

It's been so run through pop culture as to seem almost corny, but I need you all to understand with the deepest seriousness available to you that the "First they came for..." thing was to prepare you for this exact moment

I am getting a tattoo of crocuses at the moment, largely in reference to the Joni Mitchell song "Little Green." "Just a little green, like thе color when the spring is born. There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow."

I don't have any words of my own as this week draws to its close. But this poem resonates. Maybe it will speak to you too. Shabbat shalom, friends -- even amidst all of this.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

I am learning so much from @andrewhickey.500songs.com 's podcast, but sometimes I am absolutely stunned! Like when I heard a snippet of Darlene Love singing "(Today I Met) The Boy I'm Gonna Marry" and realized there's a TMBG song from 1990 that alludes to it, and I had never realized!

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

Bookmark it because I'm curious to see how it goes, but I think there is a real risk of Democrats being hit with a Tea Party-esque insurgency in 2026. Not in terms of a "burn it all down with lunatics" mentality, but more of a "our lawmakers are badly out of sync with our base".

REJECT THEIR FRAMING: it hasn’t even save $16 billion considering how much those positions contributed to the economy. For example, “In fiscal year 2023, every $1 of NIH funding generated approximately $2.46 of economic activity”. So ask how much money we are losing with these cuts.

Isn't this... already happening? Have all court orders been abided by? Hasn't he issued both social media messaging and EOs that claim absolute power above the law? Don't we already have DOGE out there smashing everything with a hammer while the opposition party frets quietly in the corner?

New in PN: Unelected billionaire breaks laws to "restore" democracy "In reality, most of what Musk is up to is flatly illegal. Most egregiously, his deletion of entire depts & Trump’s refusal to spend as directed by Congress violates the Constitution. That’s why multiple courts have enjoined them."

If last year you described the daily actions and proclamations that Trump has made this year as a prediction, the entire pundit universe would accuse you of being hysterical and having Trump Derangement Syndrome.

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

It’s weird how we’ve memory holed the fact that Obama entered his first term with a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and a majority in the House and McConnell’s response was “We’re going to make Obama a one-term president,” not “there’s little we can do”

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore
