Isn't the easiest explanation for the Muskian rampage that he's working on behalf of Putin and extracting fanatical, bloody revenge against US, weakening the country, shrinking our military, destroying our reputation, melting our alliances, making us poorer & now punishing Americans directly?

I have heard from workers at multiple agencies that they have been advised by managers not to respond to Musk’s email. Some didn’t say why, others said they’re waiting on guidance from agency leadership—but we can guess what they’ll say.

Since DOGE is facing a lot of hearings before the federal judiciary sending these emails to federal judges may turn out to have been shortsighted. Just a thought.

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

This fantastic piece by Stewart Patrick is an excellent summary of the wrecking ball that Trump is taking to the entire international order crafted by Dem & Repub presidents over 80 yrs. Who does this benefit? The Kremlin, for certain. No one else. carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

Not the primary culprit, but it’s also supremely & mortifyingly embarrassing for administrators of the Carter library to agree to cancel events like this. What’ll happen if they don’t? They test bluff? a presidential library is shut down by the White House, which has its own political opportunity?

Thanks @sarah-todd.bsky.social for an excellent read about MAHA and the "cooking with seed oil" profitable panic right now. A really good video, too! I feel better informed, and less likely to freak out and buy a "Make Frying oil Tallow Again" hat.

Translation: "It wasn't supposed to happen to me. Why is this happening to me? It was only supposed to happen to those I deemed lesser than me for years. I am unable to cope with being a target so I will in turn lash out towards those that have always sacrificed & demand they risk themselves for me.

If we want democracy to win, we have to run the authoritarian playbook in reverse. That means building up power in all the competing places that authoritarians see as obstacles to conquer or neutralize. Here's how:

Okay, Tom Homan. You coming to Boston? Let’s talk about Boston, which is now one of the safest cities in the country. Why? Because we go after gun violence, not immigrants. Because we invest in community programs, not ICE. We don’t want you, Tom Homan. We’re good. open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

brief thread. since we focus on the role of local institutions at Bolts, one thing we knew we wanted to do when Trump won was: ramp up our reporting on how local law enforcement is responding — & why it matters. it's still early days — but some important articles from our team as patterns emerge:

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.
