I’m going to be angry for a very long time about how this time in history made it feel like being a good person was somehow political

I fear some of you are still not quite understanding that the purpose of DOGE is not actually to make the federal government more efficient, it's to privatize what they can make money off of and then dismantle the rest.

If you ever wondered what it was like to be alive in Germany in 1933 when Hitler came to power, began to consolidate power, threatened democratic nations and sided with other dangerous right wing leaders, now you know.

I'm not sure how soaring egg prices, mass firings, emboldened Nazis, a Measles outbreak, and planes falling out of the sky count as "wins" to MAGA, but I'd sure hate to see what losing is to them.

I didn’t think the Democrats were going to save us, per se, but I did not expect them to lie down on the floor and mildly complain about the smart heels of the fascists trodding upon them.

It is so bizarre to read articles in the US news with the exact same events that happened in the history books I have studied over decades… My head wants to explode.

I just keep going back to anyone during the election who predicted even half of what’s happening now was dismissed as a wild alarmist.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Dear Press, Please stop with the Gaza stuff and keep your eye on the ball. Yes, it’s stupid and outrageous, but while you are distracted, Trump is committing crimes against hard working Americans. He’s committing crimes and abusing his power. Sincerely, Maggie A Hardworking American

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

The thing I don't understand... 1) Trump did not order USAID disbanded. There was no EO. 2) Even if there was an EO, it does not have the backing of law or Congress. 3) Elon Musk decided he would do this, but he has no official role in govt. 4) All of this is a crime under: 18 U.S.C. § 1361.

One thing I learned in many years reporting in China is how eventually, the power apparatus comes for everyone, even those who think they'll remain safe by keeping quiet or sucking up to power. That's just how it works.

Elon illegally has non-governmental people accessing government computers. Journalists have identified these people. Elon says naming them is a "crime". Elon must be removed from government access, by force if necessary. Nobody is winning this fight with a protest sign. This is a different animal.

For years Trump & Vance have been telling us that America shouldn't get involved in other countries and in just the past 15 days they want to do that with Greenland, Panama, Canada, and now Gaza.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country.
