The Senate has confirmed Kash Patel, who has published an enemies list identical to Trump's, to serve a 10-year term as FBI Director. He will be a major cog in Trump's vengeance machine to silence and intimidate critics. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/kash-patel-in-his-own-words

The Trump administration is using loopholes to maintain spending freezes despite court orders, with political appointees invoking legal authority to justify the pauses while distancing them from Trump’s directives.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Every day that the GOP remains in control of the States is a day that the States is an active threat to peace for everyone. Fuck Trump. Fuck Musk. Fuck Vance. Fuck them all.

Overheard at my local Foxtail Coffee: “Voting for him [Trump] was the biggest fucking mistake of my life.” No idea what drove him to say that, but whatever it was, I can’t feel much sympathy. So many Trump supporters are fine with other people getting hurt, and only get upset when they’re impacted.

Get a Kobo if you need an e-reader, and move your Kindle files to it. Then do business with no one but Kobo, Bookshop.org, or your local bookstore. Whether this conspiracy theory is true or not, Amazon doesn't deserve your business.

Reminder that you don't own the ebooks you "buy" on Amazon. They can take it all away from you with the click of a button, and if they decide to comply with "any mention of queer or trans lives is pornographic," they can digitally burn your whole library.

Hey #avgeek bsky… can we post more aviation stuff to counteract the constant onslaught of idiocy in politics? That would be nice. Here’s a slightly blurry Boeing B-52 Stratofortress I caught at Oshkosh last year. #aviation

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

This is your periodic reminder that Trump is an idiot and was by the words of the Constitution not eligible to run for president again. Fuck him and everyone who associates with him.

Welcome to the resistance! Over 1 million brave souls have answered the call this week. The Empire—Trump’s administration and Musk—may believe its grip is unbreakable, but every day, more join our ranks. We’ve always known—tomorrow, there will be more of us.
