Liberal-Progressive Dem concerned about rise of rightwing fascism. I am thinking about one of these things right now: food, human behavior, law, economics, astrophysics (layman), politics (active since I could walk), or words. Probably writing.

Germany First was FDR's policy to prioritize the destruction of Nazi Germany before Japan. Perhaps America First is Trump's policy to prioritize the destruction of America. It would give context to his actions.

There was an ancient Greek poem where the protagonist walked the Earth asking "who is the administrator of DOGE?" The question was so elusive it once launched a thousand ships. I can't recall the name atm.

so uhhhh did Elon shut down the National Sex Offender Registry too? www.nsopw.gov

The NY Times opinion editor hire opinion writers who have actual opinions, as opposed to nonsensical recycled rightwing propaganda meant to normalize fascistic acts.

You have paid Ross Douthat to write this crap continuously since the year of our lord 2009.

The fascism is starting. These unidentified men physically remove a woman, a citizen, from a Republican townhall because they didn't like her politics. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

Maine Governor Mills is not backing down to Trump's threats. “You must ask yourself: Who and what will he target next, and what will he do,” Mills said. “Will it be you? Will it be because of your race or your religion? Will it be because you look different or think differently? Where does it end?”

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

What I Accomplished Last Week: 5 Bullet Points for My Boss 1. Pondered the great question of our time (“Who is the administrator of DOGE?????”) 2. Read some court filings that did not reveal the DOGE administrator’s identity 3. Asked Elon Musk to tell me who the administrator of DOGE is (no reply)

The US government is now nonstop performative idiocracy.

General CQ Brown is a patriot and hero. Firing him makes America less safe, but it will help bring about a Golden Age. For Putin.

Kristi Noem’s week: • Sent 400 ICE agents to Colorado and made ONE arrest. • Got the Acting Director fired. • Played dress-up cosplay. • Cheated with Corey Lewandowski. • Wacked more puppies and goats.

imagine dropping a hundred large on something literally glued together

FFS New York Times. They’re not *his generals. Unbelievable

This micro aggression IS psychological warfare and force people to resign. Trump and Musk need to explain to the American public how much time and money they have wasted on EO/DOGE non-core work related items just indulged the whims of self indulged, wannabe dictator!

Five things I accomplished last week: 1. Sued Musk & DOGE (repeatedly) 2. Got Musk blocked out of Treasury 3. Sued Trump (repeatedly) 4. Helped persuade SCOTUS to leave anti-Trump injunction in place 5. Got booked @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social Join us at 9 AM ET Sunday morning to discuss!

This is horrible for the future of American science and innovation and economic wellbeing and all the things Pitt is not a small institution It has nearly 10K grad students It is where Salk discovered the polio vaccine

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

The nations top research universities (R1) are under assault by the Trump administration. Pitts has paused all PhD admissions for next year. Many R1 schools are also Division 1 NCAA schools. All SEC, Big 10, ACC, Big 12, Ivy League schools. Suspend sports and explain it is due to Musk, Trump

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

Congrats to Trump’s new picks for top military posts for meeting the job description. You don’t have to say yes, you know.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Run the government like a business. More specifically, run it like the Enron Corporation in the late 90s

Much media coverage: These Pentagon moves are unusual but Trump's within his rights and wants supporters of his America First agenda. The truth: How is removing the JAGs relevant to any agenda? New, Hegseth-selected JAGs are needed for total loyalty to Trump and finding all his orders lawful.

Buffett’s annual letter is out — and includes this message to “Uncle Sam” about the tax Berkshire will pay: “Spend it wisely. Take care of the many who, through no fault of their own, get the short straws in life. They deserve better.” 🇺🇸 www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024...

Trump's initial reaction to the invasion of Ukraine was that it was "genius" and also that he would have never allowed it.

The worst part of this North Korean style sycophancy is that we all know Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this and Trump knows Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this.
