I won’t serve a king…

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

Firing prosecutors who are pursuing brutal white supremacists is of a piece with the anti-DEI orders, as segregationist social orders are maintained through law enforcement winking at violence.

i do not understand what elon and trump would be doing differently if there weren’t themselves actual agents of beijing and moscow

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

This is an absolute scandal. Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States. As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.

this pattern where i wake up, scroll this app and rage reply, has got to stop. excuse my approach - i'm just in crisis at this dystopian reality. i will get it together.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

Can you name institutions who are obeying in advance?

What Pam Bondi, Trump, etc are planning on doing is making it impossible for Black people to economically advance. They plan to use the legal system to re-segregate the country (the country is still incredibly segregated). That should be the headline everywhere but the newsrooms are also segregated.

the fucking enforcement arm of the federal government is launching a war on integration an effort to push tens of millions of americans to the bottom of an arbitrary hierarchy of value and yeah, it pisses me off to see nominal allies say “oh yeah maybe they have a point”
