"A few short years later, instead of DEI, we’ve got DIE: discrimination, inequity, and exclusion." My very slightly hopeful look at the journey from inclusion riders to Trump trying to stamp out DEI. Bottom line: This too shall pass. #Oscars @thebulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/the-shadow...

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: “For the last few weeks, Donald Trump has tried really, really hard to get a certain message across about the thing he is trying so desperately to hunt down… When Trump and Musk are pressed to provide any actual evidence of mass fraud, they come up short.”

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Holy crap! An aide to Mike Johnson advised against House Republicans issuing a subpoena for Cassidy Hutchinson — a White House official who testified against Trump about Jan 6 — out of concern that doing so could expose “sexual texts from members who were trying to engage in sexual favors” with her.

You may not be aware that over the last 50 years, the Supreme Court has chipped away at your Miranda rights case by case, rendering them weak and ineffective. You no longer have the right to remain silent, to an attorney, not with the foece you used to. Time for a history lesson. /🧵

"Alongside neo-Nazis staging marches, militia groups on the border have promised to lend their support over to sheriffs. It’s hard to tell the vigilantes from the law enforcement. But then again, in Trump’s America, isn’t that the point?"

Trump’s threats to war on Canada and Denmark raise the surreal question of a NATO response. Can/would NATO member state collectively respond to attacks against their fellow member states, even if the belligerent is the U.S.? Certainly, NATO would. Not something NATO has ever even considered.

Trump’s threats to Canada and Denmark clarify some issues. Europe within the confines of the EU has been considering strengthening its defense. The U.S. has resisted that notion answering these calls but suggesting resources should be directed to NATO. European defense may soon become an imperative.

Trump’s threats to NATO members add clarity to whether we can expect the U.S. to stay in NATO. We aren’t going to remain in NATO member if we use military force against NATO allies. Trump is a friend to our enemies & a threat to allies. #TFETA *These aren’t insane musings in a second Trump term.

A jury of 12 of his peers who heard all of the evidence and had the opportunity to hear his lawyers argue against it unanimously agreed that he was guilty. Prosecutors can't make that happen, nor can judges. That's our criminal justice system in action. The jurors found Trump guilty.

I am secretly enjoying the Elon vs Vivek feud going on but internally I am scared for our country with these two having such a potentially large impact to our government and processes. Please tell me I’m not alone on this.
