Mar 24, 1945 #WWII FDR "The tragic sequence of events through the last 25 years should be enough to convince all peace-loving Americans that the only alternative to another war is wholehearted membership in a plan to maintain the peace agreed to by our allies." www.shapell.org/manuscript/o...

DOJ is removing experienced, non-political career lawyers in key positions. Yesterday was ethics. Today, it’s national security. This does not bode well for good government or public safety.

This (gift link) is scary / depressing on how fear of retaliation by Trump has silenced much of civil society, from business to law to the press to university leadership. Wesleyan president Michael Roth is a lonely profile in courage here, and makes me proud of my family's connection to Wesleyan.

Civil servant source says DOGE has made agencies much less efficient: "Work has ground down to a stunning degree and management is spending a significant amount of time responding & preparing to respond to the chaos incited by the never ending barrage of EOs & accompanying memos" Many make no sense🧵

This is beyond disgusting. I was having a conversation with a friend’s high school daughter yesterday about how she wants to be a game developer and I told her she could totally be one with her love of code and art. I fear if we continue down this path she’ll never pursue it.

NEW: During Donald Trump's first presidency, @crew.bsky.social tracked almost 4,000 conflicts of interest which netted him vast amounts of money. This time, his business interests and the ways to corrupt him have only grown, and we'll be tracking it all: www.citizensforethics.org/reports-inve...

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

"...a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." FDR 1938

The Trump admin has revoked Temporary Protected Status for more than 300,000 Venezuelans in the United States. As I have been saying for months: Trump is not only going after undocumented people. He's also "de-documenting" people who are here and working *legally* www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

All those schmucks that voted for Trump because he'd keep us out of war, and Harris would start WWII. Where they at now?

A source for tracking the Trump Administration's moves. There were a few things in there I hadn't caught previously. There's just so much shit flooding the zone.

A 21 year old, and another who graduated highschool 7 months ago have been hired in the OPM -- and NOT as interns. One is a Senior Advisor. Curiously, Wired refused to name them because of their age. If they're old enough to dismantle the US govt, they're old enough to be named. They're adults.
