Yeah, these federal workers actually understand what they do for us and how devastating these cuts are for us. It'd be great if the media could explain that clearly instead of taking Elon Musk's word that he's magically produced "savings" that come with no downside.

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

Israeli soldiers burn everything before withdrawing from the Netzarim Corridor, saying, "We will leave nothing for the Gazans." "لن نترك شيئاً للغزيين".. جنود الاحتلال يحرقون كل شيء قبل انسحابهم من محور "نتساريم" غدا.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Interesting the extent to which organized labor has led the fight back against the DOGE shutdown efforts while elected Democrats have been almost entirely passive and useless.

16 years on Facebook and my account has been suspended because I'm talking about the new American Dictatorship. Is this happening on a wide scale?

It’s not about foreign aid. It’s about dismantling our government by unelected, uncleared, anonymous assholes while defying the law, Congress, and the Judiciary. They picked foreign aid so the MAGA horde would cheer and Dems dither. What’s pathetic is Axelrod, Emmanuel, and Carville don’t get that.

A classic materialist reading here is that 2020 gave American tech executives their first real taste of worker militancy, and it scared them so much that they decided they needed to move into the political sphere to crush it.
