THIS is the version of the ‘farmer who’s about to lose his farm’ testimonial that you need to see. Here’s the thing—I don’t care if they admit they were wrong. We already know they were. But they do need to admit they were lied to—by Donald Trump. Call him out by name!

re: possibility of a DOGE employee being granted elevated access to a government server, one federal IT worker told Wired: "If you would have asked me a week ago, I'd have told you that this kind of thing would never in a million years happen. But now, who the fuck knows."

What the US is experiencing right now is fascism. There's no other word for it and pretending that it's verboten to say so diminishes the truth as much as they are diminishing the truth. It's fascism. It's arrived.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

American auto stocks plummeted after the White House confirmed it’ll impose 25% tariffs on Mexico & Canada tomorrow (and 10% on China). The trade barriers spell disaster for US automakers, whose supply chains are deeply entwined with our North American neighbors.

I hope people see how truly alarming this is: 1. Musk's team, who may not even be US govt employees yet, have complete access to OPM's databases of PII on federal employees and have locked out career employees 2. Musk's people trying to do same with THE US TREASURY MASTER PAYMENT SYSTEM 🚨

Not to be alarmist, but this is the most radical presidential action I've ever seen. He's straight up seizing Congress' budget power. What do laws matter if the mad king's whims dictate what gets enforced and where money goes? It's not a policy memo - it's a revolution. Don't let it be a quiet one.

Major news: Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth. It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle" I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades. Shameful.

The central core of Trumpism is voter suppression and election subversion. Too many people only pay attention to this right before elections and forget it once elections are over. We must take this threat literally and seriously if we want to have free and fair elections in the future.

Pete is exactly right. Focus less on be shocked and outraged and more on finding positive ways to organize in your community to fight back.

Each email and call log is a different violent rioter who assaulted me in the tunnel. If you are defending these people who brutally assaulted the police, maybe you ARE NOT a supporter of the police and the rule of law to begin with. If you did you would want accountability.

Rebecca Solnit: “They want you to feel powerless and surrender and let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.”

The chaos isn’t a side effect; it’s the goal. MAGA wants to overwhelm us with cruelty and confusion, hoping we’ll freeze. We can’t. While this moment feels utterly overwhelming, there are battles that we can take on right now.

This is not the story. The story is Trump nominating a completely unfit person to run the defense department that he knows will be pliant and Senate Republicans making a choice to not give a shit. Hegseth didn't accomplish anything today.
