This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

This is literally how the white supremacist OK symbol became so ubiquitous on the trollish right that establishment pols started flashing it.

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.

New preliminary injunction barring DOGE from Treasury data systems requires govt to provide, by 3/24, proof of DOGErs' training in relevant laws & regs, security clearances, *and* full explanations of their chains of command.

Ukraine was warned it faced an imminent shutdown of Elon Musk’s vital Starlink satellite internet system unless it signed the extortion deal on rare earth minerals, Reuters reports.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, *to us*

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

A new executive order from the Trump Administration commands the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to terminate the Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Long COVID. Read more from @mileswgriffis.bsky.social: bit.ly/3CY2vj1

Cuckoo star Hunter Schafer has reportedly been given a new passport with an M for the gender marker, outing her as trans to anyone she shows it to. The model and actress says her previous passport was stolen in Barcelona, leading her to apply for a replacement.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

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.

WOW "Seven western Wisconsin Republican lawmakers did not appear at an event hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union in Chippewa Falls Friday as farmers from the area said they were concerned about the effect that President Donald Trump’s first month in office is having on their livelihoods." ⤵️

The NYTimes apparently didn’t even consider Bannon’s Nazi salute at CPAC to be newsworthy until the far-right French politicians tried to distance themselves from it. And even then, the headline is “Bannon Salute, Echoing Musk, Draws Criticism from French Right”.

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

another thing every other president in history would be impeached for just happened

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

i’m just so profoundly disgusted with so many people who claimed to be there for me and my friends

y'all have heard of children's choirs. but get ready for the child predator's choir.

Holy Julia Sugarbaker.

Saw a poll last night that 27% of Canadians view the US as an *enemy* country. Then a Canadian friend sent this after last night’s hockey game.

In a new development, the Department of Justice said Trump's pardon of Jan. 6 defendants should apply more broadly and include separate gun charges, as well.

it is difficult to overestimate how scared sh*tless people are in climate spaces right now

If you told me "an extremely senile Trump was re elected after being convicted of a felony but the real president is Elon Musk, who's a Nazi now, and he's employing his drug dealer and nazi child pornographers to tear down the entire US government" in 2020 I'd have thought you were on crack
