NEW: The Trump/Musk blitzkrieg aims to destroy government to advance oligarchy & autocracy—and to crush the Democrats & the progressive agenda. It's an existential crisis. Yet so many Dems are missing in action. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I ask, WTF? Pls share. link.motherjones.com/public/38721...

One of the highlights of my vacation this week just occurred on a morning walk on the beach boardwalk telling some old man an RFK jr make America healthy again hat, who said “aloha” to me; “I’m not saying aloha back. I hope you have a terrible vacation, dumbass.” He awkwardly laughed it off.

The Washington Post wouldn’t need to write headlines like this if it hadn’t normalized Trump for the last decade.

Again: tech journalism is meeting this moment in a way the mainstream establishment newspapers and cable channels just aren’t. I can’t emphasize enough what a big deal this is.

It's also part of a longer historical pattern of extrajudicial violence encouraged by right wing politicians since the 1970s. George Tiller, a doctor who provided late term abortions in Wichita, was assassinated in 2009 while in church.

Yesterday it was university of Pittsburgh - today it’s Penn. I fear this will soon be a grimly long thread of more gratuitous Trump/Musk inflicted disabling of America for the long term www.thedp.com/article/2025...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Our criminal president is currently holding office unconstitutionally. The 14th Amendment expressly forbids him from holding office. But SCOTUS found a way to let him. He’s also constitutionally barred from a 3rd term. They’ll find a way to let him.

Putting a face to what you read in the news. Until last Friday, I served our nation working as a Research Ecologist with the US Geological Survey (USGS). As a federal scientist, I provided robust, defensible information to support good decisions in natural resource management.

I'm profoundly pissed at this video that the Jan6er "Bigo" Barnett posted to X today. He and the other Jan6ers got kicked out of CPAC today, which is fan-fucking-tastic. Disgustingly however, he tells the security guard that he is "considered a national hero" for what he did on Jan6 ...

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

It's hard to keep track of all the madness, but the most important ball to watch right now is Elon and AI. Elon wants to be Emperor of the World. The techbros take it as a given that AI will dominate everything soon. The question is whose AI. Elon wants to force the U.S. govt to make Grok King. /1
