There are a total of 3 Park Rangers manning Yosemite National Park. I want you to wrap your head around how monumentally dangerous and irresponsible that is. People are going to die.

"I never could have imagined, none of us could, that the government of the United States of America would openly ally itself with a fascist political party. In the heart of Europe. In Germany, for God’s sake."

So SOMEONE hired secret police to rough up hecklers and no officials with cop to it. Then when press reports on it, sheriff claims he’s getting death threats. Make him prove it. Because a lot of fascists are using these unsubstantiated claims to cover a whole lot of bad behavior.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

So this week I was in SF. Visited the Presidio and saw there was an exhibit on Japanese Exclusion at the Officers' Club, so we went in. My teen has been learning about Fred Korematsu in civics, and I want him to understand this history. The exhibit was powerful. But--

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.

THIS!!! Don't forget that GOP leadership met on election night in 2008 and decided that 100% opposition to Obama was their policy. They caused a drop in America's credit rating trying to damage Obama. Trump spent 4 years trying to destroy everything Obama did.

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

FYI Dems: every air disaster is because of Trump, Musk, and the GOP. This isn't misinformation or exaggeration. It's a fair and necessary analysis of ripping the guts out of complex, proven safety systems. You're not being prudent waiting for NTSB reports, you're helping cover up the root cause.

Breaking someone's wheelchair is like breaking their legs. US airlines were breaking around 30 wheelchairs DAILY without penalty. (Imagine if 30 passengers were maimed daily!) This has led directly to at least two deaths in the last five years. And airlines think this is acceptable.

The people running the federal government hate New York City and want to punish people who live here for (by and large) having views and living lives that they dislike. Any gussied-up justification is working backwards from that desired result

Abruptly firing people who work in air traffic control is like murdering your own soldiers in the middle of a war. Even if you think things now aren’t working as efficiently as they should there’s no clear path to recovering from this; it’s just a really extremely foolish and dangerous thing to do.

Trump & Musk are trying to fire 100,000+ civil servants right now - including over 1,000 VA employees. Purges are happening at SBA, Energy, Education & more. Firing this many critical employees at once could make it impossible for our government to provide BASIC services.
