One thing to keep in mind for the next 4 years is that the people *doing something about it* often won't be able to talk about it. Sometimes this is for security reasons, but also simply because *we don't have time* to talk about community defense / mutual aid filing up our nights and weekends.

Yes, we let a rich idiot nobody elected destroy the entire government, but it was that or make rich people pay taxes so that poor people could go to the doctor

LA jails just posted their eighth in-custody death for this year:

I'd rather continue to fund the banking police (who have returned billions to consumers) rather than giving everyone a check for $2.15

Now comes the oh-so-fun game (2025 edition) of, Will Congress continue to abdicate its responsibility to enforce the law, or will it wake up to the need to operate as a check on executive branch transgressions?

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.
