A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Now one of Elon's DOGE disciples has access to the NOAA. And he has a history of reading and praising white supremacist accounts. People rely on the NOAA for tornado and hurricane warnings. Real lives are at stake because of Elon's criminal actions. www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

If you work at NOAA or have details about recent changes there, you can contact me via @signal.org (dell.3030) from a non-work device/network.

It’s no surprise that Scott Bessent and Donald Trump want to save face and downplay the risks as Elon Musk seizes power, but the American people know better. Trump and Bessent are asking you not to believe what’s playing out right in front of your eyes.

What I’m reading on the plane. We all need to do what we can, when we can. If all you can do today to contribute is learn something about authoritarianism that you didn’t know before, that’s good enough. A little is better than none. Keep going.

Read this, and curse the NYT (for their overall politics but also for how they jerk around independent writers).

Elon Musk, an unelected, fascist oligarch, has bought the presidency and is carrying out a swift coup to consolidate power. We need to have a frank conversation about what has happened, what it will mean, and how we must resist this as individuals. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/a-coup-in-...

I you want to steal social security numbers: 1) You can send a fraudulent email pretending to be from a bank claiming the recipient needs to change their password, provide a link to a misnamed website, and prompt them to enter their SS number; or 2) Send some kids to take over Treasury computers.

To my Democratic friends in the House and Senate, I am getting lots of reports this morning that mailboxes are full, no one is answering the phone in your offices. We need to do better here all. Your constituents are trying to reach you and it is much, much too hard.

This is a coup. Unelected, unvetted civilians are “shutting down” government agencies. That’s a fucking coup. Act like it.

The workers were emailed by a little boy with no legal authority who interns for the richest Nazi in the world. It is an absolutely insane development and the social copy doesn’t come close to conveying it.

Remember: The tariffs aren’t about economics, and DOGE isn’t about fiscal responsibility. They are both about ••psychopathology**.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Re-reading 2015 Toni Morrison in The Nation for this line: "There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear... Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge—even wisdom." www.thenation.com/article/arch...

China could always retaliate by refusing to manufacture the Trump Bibles for $3 that he charges the suckers in his cult $60 for.
