Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Fodder for novels about our times: 1) Trump Commerce Sec H Lutnick says people won't really notice if SocSec misses a payment cycle: www.axios.com/2025/03/21/s... 2) Lutnick just bought house in DC for $25 million, all cash 3) Seller: Bret Baier of Fox www.washingtonian.com/2024/12/20/b...

Court documents reveal an official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement admitted that “many” of those who were removed from the U.S. under the Alien Enemies Act “do not have criminal records” in this country. The documents were filed by the Trump administration, calling upon…

Stop everything and read this.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

Wut.

🚨DOJ weaponization Interim US Attorney Ed Martin "personally submitted a seizure warrant application." "Career prosecutors were unwilling." The judge rejected it because "the request and accompanying FBI agent affidavit failed to establish a reasonable belief that a crime occurred."

He’s running.

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

🧵 HOW TO DESTROY ELON MUSK I keep hearing people say “Elon Musk is the richest man in the world.” He’s not, and he’s not even that rich. It’s all on paper. How much actual money does Musk have in the bank? I’m not sure, but I can guarantee one thing… it’s in the millions, NOT billions. +

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

analysis by TIME found that nearly two-thirds of the executive actions Trump has issued so far mirror or partially mirror proposals from Project 2025 time.com/7209901/dona...

When it comes to ICE, block them physically, do interfere and don’t sit idle.

ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.

DOD, State, Transport, EPA are 4 of the 12 where IG’s were sacked. It’s hard to explain the significance of this if you haven’t worked in government. But take it from me. Firing 1 holdover ID would be news. A coordinated 12 on a Friday night, is….HUGE and we have an extremely dangerous president

I think a lot about failures of imagination. 5 days in I’d say we’re close to worst-case scenario.

🚨 🚨 🚨 HOMEWORK 🚨 🚨 🚨 The email address for federal workers to inform on their colleagues is [email protected]. Would be a real shame if folks flooded that inbox, rendering it useless.

This is what happens when you don't properly evaluate pardon requests on an individual basis. Trump didn't look at prior criminal history, behavior in prison, or risk of dangerousness to the community following release. Now we all pay the price for him using the pardon power as a political reward.

Each email and call log is a different violent rioter who assaulted me in the tunnel. If you are defending these people who brutally assaulted the police, maybe you ARE NOT a supporter of the police and the rule of law to begin with. If you did you would want accountability.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. propub.li/3DGXECO

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, says Elon Musk will NOT "use political power to the degree that Elon has it to hurt [Musk's] competitors and advantage [his] own businesses." I know the guy's smart. But I guess he is also STUNNINGLY NAIVE at the same time? Source: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/14/b...

What a random thing to push before taking office. I wonder what the reason might be? 🤔
