Trump plans to repeal regulations protecting workers, consumers & the environment as well as food, baby formula and airplane safety, ignoring laws that require evidence and public comment to repeal regs. Failing that, he plans to just refuse to enforce existing law www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

A consistent pattern here is that they will absolutely destroy a functioning system, alleging fraud, and when they can they will replace it with a cronyist alternative profiting the politically connected.

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

Page 53 from Ernest Fraenkel's The Dual State (on the legal regime of Nazi Germany): "The Supreme Admin Court of Saxony [reasoned] 'It is indeed true that until now Mrs. K has not participated in any activities hostile... Nonetheless ... if a situation were to arise ... she would not hesitate...."

If they had any evidence of either, they would not have needed to kidnap him, traffic him to a foreign prison, and do everything possible to deny him due process. There's no evidence he has committed any crime or has any affiliation with any gang. Literally none. Hence their actions.

Every now and then it hits me that this isn’t just about 1 inhuman act or another, but a bigger picture. That the entire democratic experiment in America is falling apart in front of our eyes. It’s historic in that sense. Which then makes me wonder why all media stories aren’t framed this way.

I look at close to 100 stories a week and even more outside of work. I’ve done this ten years. This is among the most horrific things I’ve ever read — testimony from dying children whose access to medicine has been cut off by the Trump administration. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Relatively few people are willing to cheerlead for and enact tyranny, so if that becomes your main hiring criteria you get (1) a bunch of incompetent bozos who are (2) willing to do pretty much any horrific thing you can imagine, despite being inept at doing or arguing for it.

Another story that should make people ask: If a literal foreign agent had taken control of the US government, what would they do differently from what the Trump administration is currently doing? We don't need to engage in conspiratorial guessing about his motives to notice his impact.

The White House is claiming it can take away anyone’s rights without due process and throw them in a foreign prison forever. What could be higher stakes than that? This is the trap, you fool: Talking yourself into accepting the end of rights in America because standing up for them might be hard.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Cheery thoughts that keep me up nights: One limiting factor of authoritarianism has always been that you need a significant number of humans with guns to be willing to enforce it. Sometimes they balk. Machines never will.

To understand how the US plans to target activists and dissent, one needs just to read Project Esther, the document the administration is likely using to justify its deportations of student activists. It literally claims all supporters of Palestinians are terrorists. This is the blueprint.

As we predicted: Joe Kent is planning to use the law enforcement apparatus to imprison Black activists and antifascists as “terrorists,” essentially unleashing the far-right terrorists of the Proud Boys by looking the other way as they get the green light. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Considering the degree to which zoomers grew up online I feel like this divide really illustrates how social media was more of a progressive force in society up until it was forcibly weaponized into a fascist radicalization pipeline a few years later

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:
