Really love this @melissagiragrant.com piece on education and healthcare workers pushing back, forcing their employers to grow spines. This is what I mean when I say we are strongest at the point of reproduction right now--this is where we win.

1/ Trump will continue to do whatever he wants as long as Republicans in Congress allow it. R’s will let Trump do whatever he wants as long as they fear for their safety from his cult. The only way to break that cycle is to break through to the cult so they know who is actually hurting them…

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

JPMORGAN: “.. the term ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ has appeared in more than 20 New York Times articles in the last two days alone. This attention level gives the impression that spending cuts, either realized or imminent, are dramatic. The reality so far is more mundane.”

This is a big win for the crypto bros, Trump & his cronies who are making big bucks & catering to their wealthy crypto donors. Dropping the Coinbase lawsuit also legitimatizes opportunistic lawbreaking & advances the broligarchy's plans to embrace crypto as an alternate currency & destabilize the $.

Trump said he knew nothing about Project 2025 during his campaign. The legacy media largely took this at face value despite the fact that he lied 30000+ times in his first term. Here is a score card for how Project 2025 is seeing its goals met by Trump. www.project2025.observer

The journalist below is playing a vital propaganda role: parroting the idea that what the richest authoritarians in the world are doing is “cost savings.” Speaking like this provides cover for the commandeering of public machinery for authoritarian oligarchic rule.

I cannot stress enough how dangerous it is that the New York Times has adopted the lies of Trump and Musk. The idea that unprecedented authoritarian corruption is about “improving tech” and “fighting fraud” is a low point in the paper’s history.
