OMB director Russ Vought has officially begun carrying out his section of Project 2025. Technical thread to follow, but it’s really important - this is a major path through which the Trump administration will illegally impound funding, refusing to carry out some of our spending laws.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

I will post only once more about this tonight. Whitman-Walker is how I am Erin. I hold this name because of the resources they provided the trans community. I hope what I have written tonight gives them pause, and all orgs who would do this. Because the wave has hit home and I can’t stand quiet.

#ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory Meta laid off 5% of its workforce, then a week later more than doubled its executive bonuses from 75% of 200% of base pay. Kinda like what's happening with the federal government. Still think billionaires are on your side? Then I've got a bridge to sell you.

“In Mexico, INL also donates drug-detecting canines that helped Mexican authorities seize millions of fentanyl pills in 2023 alone…” “By pausing this assistance, the United States undercuts its own ability to manage a crisis affecting millions of Americans," said a former State Department official.

No one benefits from a hollowed out Center for Disease Control. No one. Not one single person.
