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)

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Soon it will be too late. Congress must act. Republicans deserve relentless protests and demands for their acquiescence to this man solidifying power to overrun our democracy.

We need far more action from the medical associations to discipline deceitful and manipulative MDs who gaslight patients, deny the reality of things like #longCOVID, deliberately discourage protecting kids, etc. Extremists like RFK and Bhattacharya gain credibility when misconduct is normalized.

Two of the absolute worst guys. They bear a ton of responsibility for the democratic backsliding that Wisconsin experienced.

I'll say it again purging the highest ranks of the military and replacing them with retired loyalists is what you do directly before you deeploy the military against the domestic population and our allies abroad.

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

And the thing is, they are going even beyond this and claiming that even private or non-federal government entities are subject to the will of the President if they interact with the federal government. An assertion that would give the president powers that most kings would have envied.

This is precisely the definition of authoritarian populism: elections confer a mandate to govern that transcends constitutional constraints. The “leader” as the embodiment of the general will. Problem: constitutional democracy demands horizontal accountability.

After an attack in Germany left six dead & hundreds injured, some argued the suspect had no clear ideology. ISD researchers analysed 100,000+ posts on X/Twitter from the alleged attacker & found he clearly and consistently promoted far-right & anti-Muslim ideas. Read the full Dispatch below.

This is what obeying in advance looks like. The NSF fires 10% of its total staff in a move that went beyond what was requested by the current regime. The NSF is the flagship of US basic research infrastructure. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋 www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Not the biggest outrage of the last 3 weeks, or even last 3 days. But on what planet is it "efficient" or in taxpayer interest to shut down already installed EV chargers? The Trump Admin continues to cede leadership to China and harm US industry and consumers. www.theverge.com/news/617235/...

What a fucked-up framing from the #BrokenPost. Trump is surrendering Ukraine and the West to Putin but here the burden is on Zelensky to "salvage his relationship." Can Zelensky salvage his relationship with Trump and save Ukraine? wapo.st/4it7ZS3

Let's be clear: CQ Brown was fired because Trump and Hegseth couldn't see past his skin color. General Brown has 40 years of distinguished service. Trump and Hegseth just want yes men who look like them. This is destabilizing for our nation.
