The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

Musk called DOGE “maximally transparent,” but it has refused to release info about its spending and operations — including the names of its employees. Thankfully, @propublica.org has identified 46 of them, including 12 new names just added to the list today.

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

Yeah this is what fascists and dictators have said in the past. If Republicans want us to accept Trump as a King above the law they should just admit it.

Happy Valentine’s Day to me and my new Non- #Swasticar, Abe. It is a Rivian R1T - Made in the USA - and is better than a #Swastitruck in every way, starting with the fact it doesn’t look like an actual dumpster waiting to catch fire. You don’t have to support Musk and Tesla. There are options.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: All six of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s children have been vaccinated. Not only is RFK Jr. a longtime anti-vaxxer, he has made a highly profitable career of endangering the lives of millions in his dangerous crusade against vaccinations. The ascendancy of this lying profiteer…

This is the dumbest timeline. Trump fired a bunch of people that oversee our nukes because he had no idea what they did, so he had to hire them back. More proof this is a hatchet job www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...

For those who sneer at this: It doesn't fucking /matter/ if lawsuits like this are meritless. It doesn't matter if it'll get dismissed. What matters is that companies now know that they will have to spend money defending expensive lawsuits like this from state AGs. Because they hire women & POC.

At the nation’s scientific and public health agencies, panic set in as officials braced for a wave of layoffs. The Trump administration is now embracing forced resignation of officials at CDC and NIH.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

Wow. The NYT reports that Acting Deputy AG Emil Bove coached Mayor Eric Adams' attorneys on what to argue in order to get the charges dismissed (namely, that the charges were interfering with the mayor's ability to cooperate with Trump's immigration crackdown): www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

I keep a Twitter list of US senators so I can see if they’re reacting to things. So far the only reaction to the complete meltdown of the DOJ in response to Trump giving an openly corrupt order is… one single RT from Brian Schatz.

Hi Dan - one of your constituents here. I voted for you (there weren’t other choices) but I want you to know: how you perform right here, right now, will determine my willingness to vote for you again. Stand in a doorway, obstruct, get arrested to protect our republic - or I’ll vote elsewhere.

If you’re trying to turn a poor war-torn society into Sweden, no amount of foreign aid is enough. But if you’re trying to buy influence and power on the cheap, boxes of food and fuel marked "From the American people" are a lot cheaper than tanks and bombs.
