We had friends & allies around the world based on alliances & relationships that were built over many decades. In one month, Trump has torched them all. Now our friends are Putin, Orban, the crypto scammer in Argentina, and the guy in El Salvador offering us mercenary prisons.

WSJ's analysis of the fraudulent claims about savings that DOGE is making comes to similar conclusions NPR did earlier: $2.6B v $2B of real savings. But it also notes how much of the cuts are research focused. It also notes that JUST 2% would go to DEI. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

OK honest question what is the root of this? Is this just how you think on drugs?

submitted 1 hour ago • 203 comments

NO KINGS is extremely effective because it’s simple, an extremely widely held belief, and gets right to the core of Trump’s assault without having to use words lots of people don’t understand

“The thing Trump and Musk value most of all is money. Their entire regime is best understood as a criminal junta whose end goal is to redirect the wealth of the nation into their own pockets. They are running a kleptocracy, and they’ve figured out that facism is actually the quickest path to riches”

I agree with @amysiskind.bsky.social they misjudged. They thought shock and awe was the best strategy and it’s jolting people awake. Had they gone slower people might not have woken up until the deed was done. Our job is to exploit their mistake and mobilize rapidly.

The heads of multiple federal agencies have told their employees not to respond to Musk’s email. Seems like Musk would’ve gotten approval for this draconian change in policy from Trump, with Cabinet officers informed in advance. But no, because this admin is in utter chaos.
