I’ve noticed how often even well-meaning cis white men just totally miss that the Musk/Trump regime are obviously driven by overt and hideous misogyny, in addition to overt and hideous racism.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

These federal jobs weren’t wasteful when FDR implemented the New Deal, but years later when Black veterans were receiving a few of them, now the federal government is too large. White racists NEVER let it go. Their commitment to destroying this country is almost commendable.

They are telling us, out loud, exactly how the 2026/28 elections will not be free & fair. They will go after vote by mail (bsky.app/profile/mira...). They will go after computer voting. They will then say we can't count all the paper ballots because it's taking too long & there must be fraud. Etc.

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

That's not a hyperbole or a figure of speech. It's actual extortion, the crime. Aggravated by the threat of abusing a government office.

The degree to which too many don't understand the realities of shelters is honestly stunning. "Hey, if you're poor enough we're going to force you out of your home, then take the little you have left and force you into quasi-prisons often run by cults. If you refuse that you go to jail."

The GOP forces the USPS to hold the entirety of any employee's future pension BEFORE they hire ANY employee, ever, even for a day. Imagine having to have 20 years of money on lock to hire one person. The USPS has billions frozen in this way.

Must watch speech by neuroscientist Kailyn Price at a HHS rally protesting funding cuts to science. "Cutting indirect costs is like telling a football team to work with only the players. No lights for the field, no physical therapists for the players, no water for the showers."

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

No single media outlet has done more to spur the crime panic in NYC than The Post but when it comes to holding criminally corrupt politicians barely accountable, Michael Goodwin and the editorial board suddenly find they love crimes. What a bunch of frauds.

Just to be clear, because I don’t think the Post story highlights it enough: This was Trump’s day-one pick to lead the Social Security Admin until his nominee got confirmed who RESIGNED a career job rather than do what Musk’s DOGE team wants. This is Treasury (DOGE) and DOJ (Adams) all over again.
