just ventured into X for a bit and no joke after about 2.5h of interacting I'm on the phone with a police officer to make sure there's a note about my address in case I get SWAT'd

With so many contracts being ignored, when does this start to affect the faith & credit in USD? Oh, that's the point isn't it.

This is a reluctant ruling that provides a roadmap.

It brings no immediate relief but it’s worth reading Judge Chutkan’s TRO decision storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

@tomtomorrow.bsky.social have you considered doing any protest art that I might print on a yard sign or a postcard?

tfw you realize scientists and educators suddenly need to be a "suspect" class for the sake of interpreting the equal protection clause.

A question: *Setting aside* whether the president can override congressional spending decisions, do the courts have a place in saying, "This will cause so much harm that we can't let you do it"? It seems to me the answer is no, and that impeachment is the only remedy available. /1

There's like three hours of discourse to have with my kid about the last 10 minutes of the show.

Oh fuck you yes it very much is.

REGRET, REJECT, RECRUIT. Idk if this is the right actionable message, but: I own both thishouseisasafehouse.com and renouncetheright.com, and I have a deep interest in sites, yard signs, door hangers, and stickers. Let me know if you see an opportunity.

REGRET. REJECT. RECRUIT. - Trump voters, do you regret your vote? - If not, do you still assert that you reject both fascist and nazi views re the current moment? - If so, are you willing to engage your fellow voters in a campaign to explain how to call attention to and prevent emergent fascism?

I'm seeing lots of "when the Nazis feel bad about being Nazis, we have to welcome them rather than being mad" and nope nope nope. All the evidence already exists that this is a fascist regime. Trump voters renounce him now, or they're complicit. Any ideas how to put this on a yard sign?

I'm seeing more and more "This is illegal, someone should arrest them!!" takes, and: As a country, we have done brutally effective damage to public education, and the concepts of critical thinking and civil society. There is no "someone." They are the someone.

I'm struggling because I don't want to benefit Meta or X in any way, AND, these are the two best channels I have for reaching people who might be reachable. Help?

i've never had the urge to vandalize anything, but teslas in 2025 sure are attractive

They're not even going to need a fire, are they.

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

Big night for having eagles in your logo.

Either they believe this shit or they're in on the whole thing, you be the judge. I don't know who will lea us out of this, but it's not these folks.

it's a real good thing they destroyed the local newspapers and left us with social media, so that there's no longer a letters-to-the-editor-easy way to rouse sentiment. almost like they planned it, and left lots of my friends out of a job in the process?

ok i was joking with someone earlier about using a c17 when a CRJ would have worked just as well but is it actually the case that it didn't even land?

The Democratic party had more than two months to tell us how to make a felon fascist look like an absolute clown this first week. There is no opposition party.

this is pleasing

fixed that for you
