A lot of people don't seem to realize we're on the fast track to dictatorship. In fact, I believe we're already there, though it's in the early stages. chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-purge-...

It's not lost on me that the two Democratic electeds talking consistently to regular people right now are AOC and Jasmine Crockett. Dassit.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

Dem leadership still isn't quite understanding that if it doesn't stand up more fiercely now, there won't be any midterms to win.

Wish I could travel back two decades in time to tell myself that the guy who was then head of the Republican National Committee is now doing more to fight back against a Republican president than most Democrats.

There's a Crisis of Masculinity in this country and the only way to solve it is to let me act like a cross between a baby and a movie villain

our elite kept telling us “Twitter is not real life” but they are, at this point, clearly so immersed in the sludge there that they think Nazi groypers are the median American and therefore treat outright racism as normal this is why we’re seeing no outrage over segregationist “anti-DEI” policy

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people. wired.com/story/dozens-of-cfpb-workers-terminated-in-after-hours-firing-blitz/

"If and when Trump is incapacitated or dies, there will be a fight to fill his shoes. Like Stalin, Musk is taking steps to make sure he will be able to command key government agencies in that eventuality by setting up a parallel nongovernment institution under his direct control: DOGE."

So far, the president’s freeze on climate and infrastructure law spending has been covered as a constitutional issue. But Trump is also about to start breaching hundreds of federal contracts — and *that* could soon open a new front in the legal war. I wrote about it: heatmap.news/politics/tru...
