Thread - I've been thinking a lot about Walter Lippmann’s Public Opinion lately, especially in the context of Musk’s role in dismantling the federal workforce through DOGE. It’s a perfect example of what Lippmann warned about over a century ago.

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

The leaders that got us into this cannot — and seemingly will not, despite their constituents begging and pleading them to!! — get us out of it.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

Lots of Trump voters have kids going to college on FAFSA, use Medicaid and enjoy lots of govt programs they didn't have to think about until today. Our full-time job should be telling those people EXACTLY who took those programs away It's a simple message and easy to repeat

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

If you watch only one short video today, make it this one. Remarkable bravery, and the looks on the various faces could be material for a dissertation on gender, the family, and authoritarianism. youtu.be/gVInX42IQD8?...

We have already seen many "why are you not more outraged why aren't you fighting" articles and we will surely see more in the coming days This is wrong. We need to get calm and focus our efforts, because we don't have resources to fight every battle. We have to choose 🧵

We failed to stop fascism's rise. Now it's dancing about on the White House lawn. I don't know how to fix all this but I do know that the shit we've been doing won't get us out of this one. shatterzone.substack.com/p/we-failed-...

Here's the reality about the #LAFires this week: this isn't the first time ANY of these places have burned. Not even close. In 2018, we mapped CA fire history to look at fire frequency across SoCal. Santa Monica Mtns area burns more than anywhere else -- up to once per decade in a given spot. 🧵

This year’s 4th anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol feels so ominous not merely because the man who organized and provoked it in an attempted coup is resuming power, but also because he is consecrating the mob with pardons. 1/26 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
