If you don’t stand up for rule of law, nothing else matters. It’s the mechanism of accountability in democracies. If Trump can do anything he wants with shutting down agencies, it’s naive to imagine he will follow the rules in elections and beyond. Preserving rule of law is existential to democracy.

Democrat Lawmakers… Start going into the offices of EVERY GOVERNMENT AGENCY… DEMAND TO MEET WITH ANY REPRESENTATIVES FROM DOGE IN THOSE OFFICES. DEMAND THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. PUBLISH THEIR NAMES. IF THEY REFUSE TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES, POST THEIR PICTURE AND WE’LL IDENTIFY THEM.

I go to @timothysnyder.bsky.social and @hcrichardson.bsky.social for historical perspective and contemporary context about the dystopia we're experiencing. Snyder's post today has both, plus real actionable guidance. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

So now we get in a pissing contest where each side tries to show how much they can hurt each other, people who have been friends and partners forever, things just keep getting ratcheted up, and everyone loses. All because of one malignant narcissist’s derangement and fragile ego.

For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Horrifying

We are living through a second authoritarian coup because the leaders of the first one were never prosecuted

Utter corruption

CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has provided real-time data and analysis about disease outbreaks and emerging health threats without a break every week since 1960. Until today.

Wow

The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

The Executive Orders rolling out today were part of Project 2025, the part that was never made public, overseen by Russ Vought. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

How the Trump administration celebrates MLK day

Thank you to my US rep Suzanne Bonamici and 1 Senator Jeff Merkely for voting against TikTok ban. Matter of national security? Suuuure. And congress members investing in Meta while this has been going on is absolutely disgusting.

Frightening

This except much less than half of America did this

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

RIP Jimmy Carter.

Well done RollingStone for reporting it accurately.

Well, if more kids have to die of cancer, that’s just the price we have to pay to be sure that half-trillionaire and government leech Elon Musk doesn’t have to pay remotely his fair share of taxes.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

All of this.
