Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

there's simultaneously two major trendlines occurring with this administration 1. laying waste to a lot of what keeps government/society stable in a really reckless way 2. loudly telegraphing that they see themselves as above accountability ("what are you gonna do?")

the reason that the american right are leaning hard into their immorality - which they themselves understand very clearly to be immoral - is, at the bottom of it, they don’t believe in anything.

Even if it was real, there’s literally nothing the “woke agenda” could do to our government that is half as harmful as conducting massive barely-coordinated purges of longtime federal employees working on critical matters of state

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

It’s safe to say there is a major continuity between the politics of the tech oligarchs and the fundamentals currently driving the software industry; that is to say, they are in search of infinite free rent at the expense of everyone else, up to and including the very people who make it possible.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

Everyone who pays alot of attention to politics right now is losing their mind because it’s really difficult to understand how the majority of people are just like “yep living my life, oh a program to hire more women? Idk sounds good to me, I voted Trump to lower inflation hopefully he’s doing that”

📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base. 📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

I will put it this way: if I am facing down an armed agent of the state and relying on them not being willing to pull the trigger on me I would much rather that person be in the army than be a cop

I think we should consider that Trump's fascist push is extremely reliant on momentum, on institutions not having time to say "wait a second, executive orders aren't laws, we still have a Constitution," and we should consider whether mounting setbacks are opening up an opportunity for counterattack

Wall Street's touching the stove moment might end up being not tariffs or debt default, but rather DOGE techbros causing a bank run by carelessly demonstrating they can now yank funds out of commercial bank accounts on a whim. A very pure distilled demonstration of no rule of law, no capitalism.

We are in the middle of the most profound crisis of American government since the civil war and our idiotic political media can barely see it. Control of the US has been handed to a totally unelected oligarch whose politics are defined by close association with neo-Nazis and conspiracy theorists

I’ve been trying to find a way to describe what Musk is doing to the government. He’s not taking orders from the White House, he’s not pursuing any kind of consistent ideological project other than wreaking havoc. He’s not following any laws and appears to exist outside any other authority.

If the goal of this was to own people like me, I will 110% admit to being owned. I just didn’t think owning me was worth destroying the American economy, state capacity, global respect and soft power abroad, reserve currency’s status, and science and technological dominance.
