NEW: Trumpworld sources say Stephen Miller is effectively the prime minister, and that he and his wife Katie are the White House's point people on the DOGE takeover. The couple are seen as glorified babysitters; one source describes Elon Musk as a preteen child. This is from @jakelahut.writes.news

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

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”

Another free idea for the @democrats.org: Set up a website that archives pre-Trump government resources/websites and keeps them updated with new, reliable info. Every time this trash happens, point people to THAT website. Don't just whine. ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE. You have ENORMOUS power.

Do people not understand what’s happening with the Eric Adams thing? The memo instructing the prosecution to be dropped explicitly said it was because he was carrying out the president’s agenda. It was “you’re working for me, so we’re letting you go.” It was an explicitly corrupt bargain

Being trans online is so fun because youll be scrolling and see some absolutely depressing shit about the world, then see someone repost a drawing of a monster girl with the biggest titties youve ever seen and then theres some weird fucking microdrama discourse, all one after the other

I'm done with the commentators who keep saying this is "approaching" a "constitutional crisis" etc... It's bullshit. The crisis is here and more than that this is an administrative coup d'etat. The people refusing to be honest don't want to land the plane because they don't want to say what's next.

A reality is that a ton of nonprofit organizations & other facilities are laying-off a ton of people, and sometimes outright shuttering, because they still haven't received federal funding they were contractually promises. Many websites are still not up. And a lot more. All despite court orders.

Make them say what DEI stands for, they want a white christian ethnostate, and that is what their opposition to DEI really means. Besides, DEI is a term that came about after decades of researching what made the most efficient companies, and they found that set of policies worked best

The real MeToo “cancel culture” was what happened to the women and other victims who came forward. They were retraumatized, harassed, humiliated, sued, fired, and blacklisted. Then they were the subject of a revisionist history that MeToo went “too far” and deserved a reactionary backlash

Donald Trump is trying to shut down the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children. This will lead to mass child abuse on an unprecedented scale. This would be the single biggest move to directly help pedophiles that any President has ever done in US history

This is straight up going to kill children, especially the forced deadnaming policy. I can guarantee there are some kids out there who are only known by their chosen name, and no one will be able to know it’s them who are being exploited because they don’t know their deadname

The right-wing has been priming Americans to think of population wide gains in freedom and equality as potentially ill-gotten; a theft against those who are already living with a full suite of rights. It's why attacks on DEI work. The Dems/the left must emphasize that this is a theft of Civil Rights

I tried to watch a video about a book. The book was about The Holocaust. Due to fears of YouTube’s policies, the host wouldn’t use any words associated with The Holocaust, which itself was only called The History. And of course, they said “unalived” instead of killed. Like… fucking hell.

The absolute glee some are displaying in blaming Palestinians, and people who protested on their behalf, for their own ethnic cleansing is a strategic error (obvs you target the decision maker), a political error (obvs you need those votes), and a moral error (obvs fix your hearts or die).
