Regarding violence vs nonviolence, the right to peacefully protest is enshrined in the human rights charter. All protest should be nonviolent for as long as it is permitted to be by the state or oligarchy. That said, respect each others right to peacefully assemble; know when to withdraw or defend.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

If you're in district w/ GOP rep, call or write—202-224-3121 main Capitol #, but just go to individ web site—and say you want your elected rep to stand up for Congress as co-equal branch, to determine spending, etc They take this seriously. (For each person who calls, 10x are thinking that.)

Tedious to keep pointing this out, but: 1) Trump did NOT get "majority" of vote. (49+%, to KH 48+%). Biden 2020, Obama both times, GWB 2004 most recent w majority. 2) Carried House w smallest margin in modern times. 3) He flatly denied even knowing what Proj 2025 was. No Proj2025 'mandate'

What does this even mean? So, is Elon placing a code on tax refunds and social security numbers? Again, why would anyone file their taxes if Elon Musk has gone into the disbursement and placed a code next to their name? www.politico.com/news/2025/02....

@Wired has been the Woodward-Bernstein of this moment. (Among diffs from that era: GOP then had Sens/Reps who would stand up to prez. Ditto that era's SCOTUS, with six GOP appointees. Still ruled unanimously that Nixon did not have absolute right to withhold WH tapes from Congress. Quaint!)

This is the worst classification scandal in 20 years. According to someone who knows: Trump has done more for China in a couple of weeks than Xi could have dreamed.

Every single Senate Democrat will vote against Russell Vought, the Trump nominee for OMB and chief architect of the ultra-right Project 2025. We are holding the floor of the United States Senate overnight to expose how Project 2025 is the Trump White House agenda.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

New, from me: as the Trump administration begins, I try to make sense of what, exactly, DOGE is. Journalists and policymakers should be skeptical of its claim to be a govt reform commission, and more willing to see it as a form of oligarchic state capture. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-dange...

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's adolescent energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...
