“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

The US, Russia, and the richest man in the world who is busy carrying out a coup in our government, are coordinating a brutal shakedown of an ally whose very existence depends on our support. This is repulsive and people need to understand we’re only in the beginning of what is possible.

Authoritarianism is inherently strange. Trump’s worsening madness and Musk’s repulsive behavior is part of that, but also it all provides an opening for actual resistance. The backlash is coming. It’s on us to be ready when the moment arrives. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/sound-and-...

I was labeled a “conspiracy theorist” and had multiple defamatory hit pieces written about me for making the below observation in the immediate aftermath of the 2016 election. I wish more people had seen it sooner, before it all had time to play out and became too late.

Authoritarianism is also organized crime that profits its leaders. We’re currently seeing the Trump Administration shakedown Ukraine as it’s obvious they’re aligned with Putin and the alternative is destruction. We’re in the shit. Deep, deep in the shit.

Two weeks ago, Trump imposed a gag order on all federal health agencies. Today, in a wildfire air quality update, the CDC briefly included a chart disclosing cat to human H5N1 transmission, then quietly deleted. This is our world now. Scientists surreptitiously trying to save us from our government.

It’s time to start wrapping our heads around the real possibility that collective action and even a general strike are required. Musk is working fast to solidify control, do as much damage as possible, and party “opposition” is not up to the fight. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/collective...

The best way to judge if someone is reliable is to examine their track record of analyses and predictions and see if it holds up over time. If they're constantly wrong, disregard them. And be suspicious that the reason they were constantly wrong is because they were paid to be.

Just a reminder that the cruelties and authoritarianism of empire always circles back to the state of origin. The nightmarish tactics, rhetoric, apparatuses, and surveillance refined during the War on Terror were always going to be trained on the United States. It’s simply how this all works.
