WaPo, Page One. “She hoped for change, but not like this” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Every Republican Congressperson from Missouri voted to cut Medicaid. 30% of Missourians are on Medicaid.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

I’m beginning to understand why his rockets blow up and his cars catch fire.

How it started/How it's going

Intressant att se utvecklingen Bluesky/X. Delade denna artikel av min kollega Karin Eriksson för en timme sen. Nästan alltid långt fler interaktioner och delningar här på Bluesky, trots att jag har tjugo gånger fler följare på X.

Thread. This will literally lead to millions of deaths if not stopped. Just unfathomable evil.

Sweden has its own back door proposal in addition to EU’s Chat Control 2.0 and Going Dark. Signal’s president Meredith Whittaker is clear as always: if you mandate back doors (i.e., vulnerabilities): no more Signal for you. www.svt.se/nyheter/inri... #Signal #E2EE

There are like 5 scandals every day that would have broken any previous Administration.

Any media outlet hanging on to a shred of journalistic timber should televise these hearings.

Democracies don't do this to their citizens. Protect our information.

Jag hatar antivaxxare. Hatar. Jag skiter i om ni själva skiter i vaccin. Vill ni dö eller bli svårt sjuka, fine. Men ge fan i att döda era barn.

A set of countries hates us; another is bewildered/dismayed/horrified; a third group is laughing at us; and the last group is working the angles to fleece us by flattering the weak-minded senile dope who occasionally shows up at the White House to sign stuff. NOBODY respects us.

More than 950 law scholars declare, “a constitutional crisis” in bipartisan letter concluding that President Trump “has acted unlawfully and unconstitutionally” in a slew of executive orders and actions. www.acslaw.org/press_releas...

Vaccinate your kids. This death was preventable.

Voter suppression is rarely sold by politicians as such. Instead it comes by way of logistical challenges such as reducing the number of ballot boxes in communities of color in Georgia, intimidation by “poll watchers” in Texas, or restrictive voter I.D. laws.

If you are on Medicare, Medicaid or SNAP, you need to be calling your reps today (red or blue) and telling them what you think about the passage of a budget in the House that cuts your lifesaving benefits so billionaires can get richer.

The blood that Elon Musk and his DOGE-cronies have on their hands because of the PEPFAR Funding Suspension. 200.000+ people not getting their daily HIV medication. 15.000+ deaths and counting.

Trump is giving rise to a bunch of Americans with knowledge of highly sensitive fields, a grudge against the government, and urgent bills to pay. It's a foreign intelligence agency's dream.

1) Something happened today in Sweden that could have a significant impact on the country, but basically no-one outside of Sweden will hear about it. This is a short morality tale about journalism's endless addiction to hyping sensation and spectacle over process and politics.

Idag är det inte bara årsdagen av Rysslands invasion av Ukraina, det är också Estlands nationaldag. Slava Ukraini! Elagu Eesti!

Let me guess: they turn right toward fascism all the time! #SwasTesla #Swasticar

It's a good thing we have the CDC

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

If your adversary can't believe their luck, either you're very, very bad at negotiating, or you don't think they're your adversary.

Knarkaren har solbrillor inomhus.

Åh nej, jobbigt, nu måste Trumps svenska fanclub ge sig ut och jaga stillbilder där Kamala Harris och Barack Obama höjer högerarmen igen!

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I'm sure he's wearing blackout shades for normal reasons.

Someone better tell DOGE there’s this guy working from home

How stupid and arbitrary are Trump's mass firings at federal agencies? A State Dept employee tells me some colleagues are racing to change their job descriptions so phrases like "transnational crime" don't get caught up in DOGE AI bots scanning for words like "trans" to fire people because "DEI."

If you’re ever in public while high on ketamine, this DEA pamphlet suggests you might want want to wear sunglasses, even indoors. www.dea.gov/sites/defaul...

Fun fact: while Phony Stark and the DOGEbags are taking money from our veterans, the world’s poorest people and kids with cancer, Assistant President Poopy Pants has already spent nearly $11 million of our money… playing golf.

Grok has gone all HAL 9000. "I'm sorry, I can't let you do that Elon."

In case you’re having a bad day, new polling shows Assistant President Poopy Pant’s approval rating and personal popularity are going down faster than Lauren Boebert’s hand at a kid’s musical. Happy #PresidentsDay indeed.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...
