I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

Hi, sorry to rain on everyone’s parade, but I think it is important to understand the rhetoric and lies that Republicans are using to justify this unconstitutional coup. This is what they are telling people outside the comfy Bluesky silo. AZ far-right Rep Gosar’s newsletter is a firehose of lies:

My latest for the @thebarbedwire.bsky.social makes the case that Trump and Musk are marching us into a "new fascism" that may not look exactly like its historical predecessors but nevertheless draws on the ideology to rend the democratic state and rule of law. thebarbedwire.com/2025/02/13/e...

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

This is gutting and infuriating beyond words. A mother in Detroit, desperate for help, reached out three times to the city’s homeless response team—to no avail—before her two children froze to death in a van. There was shelter space available nearby. The system failed them, as it fails so many.

I agree particularly with the part about this whole ideological milieu having sunk costs. For them, it rlly is supreme power or bust. Look at RFK Jr having $1m credit card debt, or Trump facing more huge legal cases. They fight like this, bc their asses are on the line, and they have "more to lose."
