“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive and judicial] in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self–appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” (James Madison, Federalist No. 51)

This micro aggression IS psychological warfare and force people to resign. Trump and Musk need to explain to the American public how much time and money they have wasted on EO/DOGE non-core work related items just indulged the whims of self indulged, wannabe dictator!

It's worth remembering how ADL disgraced itself professionally. People will say that it's obvious in retrospect, but it was very fucking obvious at that second as well.

So everything wrong with the DoD can be fixed by firing the Commandant of the Coast Guard (who happens to be a female), Chief of Naval Operations (who happens to also be a female), and the Chairman of CJS (who happens to be black)?

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

Just a reminder that the neither the U.S. Digital Service (which has been converted into DOGE) nor OPM has any legal authority to direct every single federal government employee to give them a job summary. Literally no such authority at all.

I think it’s a mistake to think of the pro-natalist polygamy of Elon Musk as a departure from the “traditional” sexual conservatism. The tradition, really, is not primarily about male monogamy so much as male domination; the collection of multiple women affirms this, rather than subverting it.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!
