The order to email Elon Musk five things you did last week or else you’re fired appears to be illegal. More here.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I am trying to imagine the reaction of Joe Biden or Barack Obama had spoken to a Republican governor in this way at a public event. I just can’t. None of us can.

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.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

From a longer term perspective, DOGE is what happens when Dems fail to counter program against decades of propaganda that the federal government does nothing for people.

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

Most modern business is a scam. Instead of acquiring and keeping customers with a product or service people love, companies instead work to trick people into paying for (or using) something, then trapping them by destroying competition, while slowly reducing quality and service to increase profit.

Democrats insisted for four years that Joe Biden couldn't remove ONE GUY at the Postal Service. Trump has been president for four weeks and he's essentially abolishing it as we know it, firing its board and making it part of the Department of Commerce.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

I want to amplify this. The most important problem for the health of American democracy is the weak state of the GOP (a “failed state” of party). A much much bigger problem than the state and strategies of the Democrats. It was bad in 2016 and it’s been going in the wrong direction since then.

This is Fascism. Trump & MAGA built this dangerous apparatus. And as others have said, Tillis & co. have security if they want it. People like @aoc.bsky.social , @ilhanmn.bsky.social , and regular people like @whstancil.bsky.social are daily targets for these terrorists who follow Trump’s lead

“Democrats seem to be waiting for Trump, Musk, and MAGA to naturally become unpopular, instead of working overtime to make them unpopular. We can’t wait. We need a unified, aggressive, and creative opposition in this country.” Read more from @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social. 👇

Heartbreaking story. Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, age 11, took her own life after her bullies constantly threatened to call ICE to have her Hispanic parents deported. Her story is one of the many real human consequences of Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric. youtu.be/vwMGdnM24Cw?...

Even if your strategy is "let's win the midterms" (living in delusion there will be legit elections), we do that by making Trump and MAGA unpopular. That means denying them any and every "win," from nominees to any legislation. Anything that affirms their actions, affirms them.

Faiz is dead wrong about this, Dems need to be in DC physically opposing the coup that is actually happening, just like the legislators in Seoul did when the coup happened there.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

This incriminating exchange should be all a judge needs to firmly deny Elon access to IRS data. He very clearly intends to use it as a selective tool against his political enemies.
