Pro-democracy protests around the world often fly our flag for what it represents, refusing to acknowledge how powerful that is and use it is honestly just stupid

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

@whstancil.bsky.social Democrats do have the messaging and the desire to lead. They will never be covered by corporate media that wants them to loose. I don’t think it’s a question of public salience either, really. It’s just bias.

Action item: call Representative Deluzio and ask him to participate in the event at 1pm Eastern outside USAID to spotlight the illegal shutdown of the agency. Only Congress holds the power of the purse. The Executive must faithfully execute. Contact Chris: deluzio.house.gov/address_auth...

Good “what Dems should do to fight this” piece, in that it’s realistic about their limited institutional power, and offers actionable recommendations that could make some difference. By @joshtpm.bsky.social.

On the upshot, the businesses Musk touches don’t have a history of functioning very well. His evil version of the US government—The Xciting State—will probably collapse in on itself rather quickly. Orwell was wrong. Postman was closer.

I don’t have a definitive source on this yet but it looks like NSF review panels have been canceled. Sixty-some years ago, Eisenhower transformed higher education because he viewed a science education gap as the single greatest threat to national security. This is absolutely an act of sabotage.
