The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening? In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control. Call it what it is.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of them are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

I’ve always admired President Carter. I remember his concern for everyday working people, his tarring by crude conservative populism, and the big-business takeover and inequality that accelerated with Reagan. He was a better president than you think: robertreich.substack.com/p/jimmy-cart...

Cracked “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’72” by Hunter S. Thompson. So far it's insightful, prescient, a bit quaint.

@crookedmedia.bsky.social should create a Starter Pack.

Okay, I’m here. What’s up?
