DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I'll be chatting with three Let This Radicalize You reading groups over the next few weeks. @prisonculture.bsky.social and I wrote the book to help people who are showing up for moments like this one, and it means a lot to me that folks are eager to discuss it. You can get a discounted copy here:

Spotted in Wisconsin. $10.49 for eggs. Prices keep going up and Donald Trump isn’t doing a damn thing about it!

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965 at the age of 39.

Become an Anarchist or Forever Hold Your Peace crimethinc.com/becomeananar... Neither courts nor laws will suffice to halt the descent into autocracy. Massive numbers of people will have to take direct action on their own initiative, on a decentralized basis—in other words, to become anarchists. 🏴

Did the scratches on this

Statement from Gov. Kathy Hochul via Twitter/X:

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

The protests going on right now are not the same as 2016 or 2020. You are seeing a social movement in its Proto phases before we know what the final form looks like.This is something much bigger than anything We’ve seen probably since occupy much larger and angrier then 2016 or 20 time to turn it up

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."

Thousands marched in New York City against the fascist Trump regime. (📹@StatusCoup) "Fascist Trump has got to go" #3E #USProtests #fiftyfiftyone #NoKings #Feb17

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

most journalists today can be divided into two groups: dedicated, impoverished people who mostly write for publications you've never heard of that started eighteen months ago or JP Random House The First, who writes columns for the New York Times about which ethnic groups it should be OK to hunt

From today's rally to demand the Governor remove a MAGA mobster mayor who is an imminent threat to New Yorkers

Goin' to a protest Monday. Made me a sign.

SCOOP: A group including Columbia alumni, professors & parents is trying to get students deported & arrested and urged people to tip off FBI. They’ve also disparaged Jewish protesters & tried to compile lists of JVP members. W/ @natashalennard.bsky.social theintercept.com/2025/02/15/c...

So I know things are really bad but here are some events that, from a lifetime study of overthrow of regimes, future historians will point to as a domino that guaranteed Trump's fall, should it happen. (These same events will otherwise be footnotes about bumps faced during fascism's rise.)

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Three weeks later and this is either the best acted bit or wildest story ever, but either way it's one of the funniest podcast eps I've seen www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpba...

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

DOGE and Trump admin have hobbled at least 11 federal agencies *that have been investigating Musk's companies.* The NLRB alone had 24 ongoing investigations into Tesla & others--but Trump fired top officials so now cases can't move forward. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u... @ericlipton.nytimes.com

“Are you going to be a coward?” Zül-Qarnain Nantambu asked himself. “Are you going to take a stand?” With the world watching, New Orleans-based artist Nantambu, 41, reached into his clothes and unfurled a joint Palestinian and Sudanese flag. 🇵🇸🇸🇩🇵🇸🇸🇩
