Not a great time for citizens who have chosen to serve their country by working in government, when the current leaders have nothing but contempt for your very existence. I have an idea, run for office against a Republican who is enabling it - which is all of them.

Much of the chaos of the past few weeks can be understood as part of the Trump administration’s "central ideological project: restoring America’s traditional hierarchies of race and gender.” Call it the “Great Resegregation."

Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Höcke claimed that "Hitler was regarded as only bad.” He has been convicted twice by German courts for using Nazi slogans. And at one point his own fellow AfD leaders thought he was too extreme for their party. But he’s hero to Elon Musk.

Elon Musk’s DOGE team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into the deadly crashes with his company’s cars. Yet another reason I’d never buy a Tesla.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.
