Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Hello. Your friendly neighbor anti-fascist here with a tip. If you are feeling like you have no more fight in you, like this is all too much, like it’s unending and you wanna give up: take a fucking break. Fights are about endurance, but endurance is not about running constantly at top speed.

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening: “Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.” She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

Elon Musk and DOGE have taken a blowtorch to federal agencies. But the tariffs are a helpful reminder that it's Trump who's fiddling while it all burns. @brbarrett.bsky.social writes:

We don’t have to let Trump wreck our economy with tariffs—that’s a choice. The Constitution gives trade authority to Congress, not the President. Congress delegated tariff powers to the President and we can take them back. We have the bills (one is mine). We just need enough support to pass them.

Wow. Just wow. How Trump set the tariff rates. This is blithering, staggering, mind-boggling, jaw-cracking, gums-bleeding stupidity.

This thread by a senator suggests that Trump is up to something different than what many assume—he is effectively taking the US/global economy hostage

I detest how a lot of reactionary strategy takes what an opposition dislikes and tries to move away from it. Conservatives hate wokeness? Use it. “Yea. We’re woke. We’re awake as hell and we can see clearly the damage that is coming. The republicans are asleep at the wheel!”

The asshole who talked about putting USAID "into the woodchipper," and childishly grinned when prancing around with his chainsaw, is now having hurt feelings because Tim Walz made fun of him. Even Trump is going to recognize pretty soon that this is a "brand-image minus" for him.

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

The idea the president alone can levy taxes on a whim and spend it as he pleases without any congressional approval is the kind of thing so beyond the pale it's not unconstitutional, it's anti-constitutional. It is overturning in starkest terms the central rallying cry of the American Revolution.

Important to keep in mind that “one guy’s opinion on what we should privatize” is not something we would need to care about except for the fact that this guy has been able to accumulate $400 billion, which is the underlying problem.

Wow can't believe there's a loss in productivity from sending every employee an email demanding they drop everything to recount what they did, with their job on the line. Totally unforeseeable, so long as you're a nepobaby who has never done a day of real work in your life.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

This is 100% bullshit. There are no algorithms. Musk and his incel clown posse are not forensic accountants and do not know how to audit. Discovering fraud is a labor-intensive project that can never be done by looking at payments alone. This is just a thinly-veiled rationale to gut Social Security.
