This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

Lord, I see what you do for others www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Ding ding ding! Watch this. He’s laying it out. My team at Stanford Internet Observatory documented this process meticulously, over & over again, in 2020. The R machine retaliated against us. When Elon bought X, it became even sharper. The rest of the political spectrum needs to get in the game.

Have y'all heard of the Project 2025 Heat Map that outlines how 1/3 of the goals have already been achieved? Check out this site and follow: www.project2025.observer Call your representatives and ask them if they are aware of this site and how much of their plans have been implemented.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

@aoc.bsky.social has a really worthwhile series of stories up on her Instagram about this rn. Recommend watching in full, but tl;dr: folks watching Fox News call relentlessly, so even ideologically opposed reps know they’re mobilized and have to plan around them. We need to flex the same way.

No that wasn’t MAGA, that was the (captured) Supreme Court on Biden student loans. The second statement is Trump making stuff up. Follow the flow of power and don’t believe what Trump says - he’s OFTEN been challenged and backed down.

HAPPENING NOW: members of Get Free are blocking traffic in front of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the main agency where the Trump Administration and its billionaire backers like Elon Musk have been spearheading efforts to implement MAGA’s Project 2025 agenda.

Amid the flurry of extreme actions taken by the Administration, there’s one question I’ve been asked more than any other: “What are you going to *do* about it?” It’s a fair point—especially when the President has thus far avoided any real accountability. I’ll do my best to address it. (1/14)

An anonymous person at the CDC just archived all the public CDC datasets as of 1/28 and uploaded it to archive.org
