Well, at least we destroyed a whole lot of important things

Worth tracking these data closely.

For profit media believe in nothing but profit. It's why they're such fucking cowards

I'm starting to think these weird losers are weird losers

Anyway, democracy's goin great!

I really hope through all of this nonsense the average American is learning the functions of their government, how it affects their day-to-day lives, and why it's astoundingly stupid to think it should be run like a business

In America we were taught Brazil was "third world." Well, the third world just charged their fascist and we're letting ours run rampant because we've been too busy jerkin our little baby dicks to whatever frothing pundit or cartoon meme is currently regurgitating our favorite preconceived notion

It's hard to pick just one brazenly lawless thing the Trump administration is doing right now, but this Eric Adams shakedown is so transparently corrupt, Federalist Society attorneys would rather resign than follow through.

There's nothing human about these people

@404media.co interviews @quinnae.com about LOG OFF, thx @janus.bsky.social for the interview and the wisdom! "There is also such a thing as having *enough* information."

Advice from a Congressional staff member (sources at the end of this post): MAKE 6 CALLS A DAY -- two each to your 2 Senators and your 1 Representative (their DC office AND their local office).

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

"here’s what I believe happened: In the process of accumulating enormous wealth, the tech-oligarchs created the conditions for their loss of social power and, when they realized this, they got a big dose of class consciousness and turned furiously reactionary."

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

Washington is full of rule-following valedictorians who were inspired by the West Wing and did Model UN and moot court and studied their heroes and who believe in using government to help people. That's nice, but you need to learn how to swing on the illiterate bullies who steal lunch money.

When someone shares an outlandish prediction of how things may go under Trump, ask yourself whether the idea itself is outlandish or if you consider it outlandish just because it is disconnected from your experiences. This is why studying history matters. It takes you out of your own experience.

Is the "temporary pause" of disbursement of all federal grants/loans an unlawful impoundment? It almost certainly is. A brief 🧵

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Fuck I think we totally forgot that part in Dune Pt. 2 about not falling for charismatic violent folk heroes fueled by vengeance who look like Timothee Chalamet in a hoodie

this guy knows what plays more every democratic strategist combined

that the house GOP is covering up evidence of sexual predation by a former member and nominee to higher office while simultaneously smearing a trans woman as a potential predator without any evidence beyond base bigotry are two sides of the same coin

As frightening as everything has become, there's humor to be extracted from how brazenly fucking stupid it all is

The "punk rock" generation turning into a bunch of fascists is entirely unsurprising

Was watching CNN for only 2 minutes when they started interviewing a business owner who believed the economy was better under Trump and I'm thankful they were so quick to remind me why I never watch CNN
