Trump loves oligarchs and believes the powerful should get to do what they want. You can read more into it if you like but he fundamentally believes in a universe where bullying is good and correct and if the bullied wanted it to be different they should strong enough to bully instead.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

I think a lot of those guys aren’t nazis — I think they just believe all the same stuff and have the same goals and act the same way and do the same salutes. But I could see how you could make that mistake.

"[M]ore than $39 million has been earmarked to DOGE in the Trump administration’s first month. For perspective, in recent years Congress had allocated around $50 million a year for the IT modernization initiative that DOGE supplanted, budget records show." www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Oh god, I've done a Trump clown/burlesque act, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to do an Elon Musk one now. I may not be able to help myself.

Given his new position and influence, at this point Musk’s moderation decisions at X are far closer to actual censorship than anything in the “Twitter Files.”

This is like saying parents saved money by not feeding their kids as much and skipping doctors’ appointments. People were actually using the services he’s killed off, among them veterans.

One of my senators, Rick Scott, sends emails saying he's "fighting every day to support" DOGE "mission." That they're "ushering in America's golden age." That DOGE is "doing exactly what the American people want and expect." Bleak. Refers to himself as a "founding member of the Senate DOGE Caucus."

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

It's scary right now in federal gov. If you were forced out, or if the exit sign is growing larger by the day, or if you were planning to go in house but that doesn't look like a good idea anymore, my org is hiring. We work on implementing public benefits, and we have stable non-federal funding.

Regular people who are not scared of flying are talking about canceling flights or not flying. It's interfering with the mental preparation I, a terrified flyer, usually do before flying. But these tickets in April are nonrefundable. Are people just talking shit or are they really not gonna fly?
