Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Do your constituents know?

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)

According to the WaPo, which got their hands on the next phase of DOGE plans, a severe resegregation of government begins this week. Which, I imagine, will serve as cover for more Musk looting of the treasury. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/02/15/doge-fire-federal-employees-trump-dei/

I come here to get accurate information, and then it’s so overwhelming and depressing I end up feeling paralyzed which is the exact wrong thing. I remain SO ANGRY that we are here and a coup is taking place. 😵‍💫

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

The word 'bed' kind of looks like a bed.

It is impossible to mount resistance from Substack. Everyone presently publishing there is going to need to move off. This will take time, but it’s the truth. Don’t give them your money.

During Kendrick's halftime show a man unfurled a Palestinian flag and was chased off stage and eventually tackled and removed by security.

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

How broligarchs can recoup their investments in crypto & AI--technologies the free market has largely rejected. 1. Crash the US economy & dollar; present crypto as the "solution" to stabilize the disaster they created. 2. Weld AI into gov systems like Air Traffic Control, so we're stuck with it.

Kendrick’s American flag motif at THIS MOMENT is subversive. Yes, yes, yes.

Wowowooowwwowowww

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

You can’t post your way out of fascism Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 🔗 www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

REUPPING THIS.

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

I don’t care about his degree, but this is the most succinct description of WHY this is happening.

You get a primary and you get a primary and YOU get a primary! Everyone gets a primary!!

Demagogues, oligarchs, and literal teenage boys are tearing apart our government. They are fueled by Silicon Valley’s dream of a monarchist network state and blood and soil white nationalism and every day they are in power means years of work required to fix it. www.garbageday.email/p/musk-s-sup...

Btw let me reinforce this again when it comes to this crew: EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

1. Everything Elon Musk and his tech cronies are doing to our government is what Balaji Srinivasan spelled out in his "network state" cult manifestos. The establishment media prefers to ignore this even as it unfolds quite dramatically... Steve Bannon in the NYT:

this is theft on an unimaginable scale

If Elon Musk walks into my office with a bunch of 22 year old programmers and tells me to turn over access to the network, I'm telling him over my dead body. You'll have to drag me out of the building by my hair.

I think it’s important to underline here that doing this to the federal government is illegal and a breach of the constitutional order

💩

1. Create Bluesky bots to ping and repost information from government accounts. 2. Aggregate those bots into a starter pack. 3. Create a more useful collection of government information without rewarding Musk.

The federal National Transportation Safety Board has declared that all updates on the crashes in Washington and Philadelphia will now only be posted on its X account. No emails and no other platforms, naturally. Again: buying Trump was the best investment co-president Musk ever made.
