@utahdhhs.bsky.social start posting here with bird flu and measles getting closer.

We gotcher Muskovites here (what’s it called when you coin something simultaneously with others?). We have more and going to update. Send us more names.

Do you know anyne working for DOGE? Here are a handful of the people working with Elon Musk to cut federal agencies @propublica.org projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

We knew this was coming. Media orgs, it’s time to fight.

As I reported exclusively this morning, Musk operatives have not only been given admin privileges on the central Treasury Dept payment system that handles 95% of the US govs budget they have also begun rewriting the code base with little or no advance planning or testing.

“Ben Meiselas @meiselasb.bsky.social reports on Donald Trump’s rapid implosion in one of the strangest days in the history of the United States.” - MTN m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmze...

Rep. Mark Pocan has introduced the ELON MUSK act (full name is Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy Act) which would ban "special" government employees like Musk from having federal contracts.

Did Trump just accidentally reveal the true death toll in Gaza? This deficit would indicate that Israel has slaughtered at least 500,000 Palestinians in this genocide. In October, 99 American doctors and nurses who worked in Gaza said the number was "greater than 118,908."

The USPS just suspended the acceptance of packages from China and Hong Kong until further notice.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

The irony is that new IRS agents were hired specifically to audit high income earners - NOT like "YOU," but like ELON. He uses regular people as a shield to protect himself and his pals from clawing back what we lose to tax cheats. Elon's fans are useful idiots as he consolidates wealth for himself.

Sure sounds like a concentration camp. And for the whataboutism MAGA mouthbreathers: It's quite different to temporarily house migrants before processing them, vs taking people on US soil, classifying them as criminals, and imprisoning them at a notoriously abusive black site.

A Republican congressman just introduced a bill to abolish OSHA and get rid of federal safety protections for workers. Remind me— wasn’t it Republicans who claimed that they were the party of the working class?

So much for his Hippocratic oath.

“The Utah Legislature can’t abide being challenged. Which just makes it all the more necessary that its power grabs be challenged at every turn,” writes the editorial board.

The same people wailing about DEI literally can’t spell their own job title.

Jeffrey Hustito died in a sober living home as Arizona struggled to respond to a fraud scheme targeting Indigenous people with addictions. “We were really thrilled when he decided to get treatment,” his father said. “He just got worse over there.” https://propub.li/40EvIHm

From this morning:

Letter: Trump’s America is an America that willfully excludes, vilifies and dehumanizes entire populations. Speak out against it.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

True

As a culture we really need to push the lid down on Idea Guys

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform. Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ? Their greed is our opportunity.

Remember that fascists want you to feel hopeless and helpless. We are neither. Continue to be a pain in their fucking ass, even if that just means refusing to go away.

TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Media reports say San Antonio could be one of the cities targeted by Trump's immigration raids this week. No matter what, we know that: 1) You have basic rights (listed below). 2) Trump will say he's going after criminals. He's a liar. Texans need to look out for each other.

We learned about the Holocaust as liberators. When we fund a holocaust, we close our eyes. The Gaza genocide was clear and obvious, yet we just went about our days. The MAGA anti-immigrant bile is who we are. We're a settler-colonial society and far too many take pride in it.

For years, Trump has promised to imminently release his infrastructure plan, health care plan, tax returns, & medical records. But he never seems to get around to it. But he did promise today to pardon J6 defendants on his first day in office. That he has time to do immediately.

A spill on a family farm in Oklahoma killed several acres of vegetation and contaminated drinking water. A judge ordered the farmers to pay when they went after the oil company. (Published May 2024)

"If I'm guilty of this, every cop in the nation's going to jail." This has been something I keep saying -- LEO buy and sell firearms under the table all the time. I dont know a sheriff's office that hasn't done this. www.cbsnews.com/news/police-...

We have to witness this attempt at genocide to make sure history remembers it for what it truly is.

As policymakers rushed to equip cops with body cams, they often failed to grapple with a fundamental question: Who controls the footage? They defaulted to leaving police with the power to decide what is recorded, who can see it and when. By @ericumansky.bsky.social, w/ @farooqumar.bsky.social

I love that donald trump has to hang out with nerds now, he must hate it so much
