A bunch of Trump’s most influential advisors are advocating for the US to leave NATO and the UN. Short-sighted, reactionary morons. You should really ask yourselves why anyone that has the US interests at heart would want us to leave the most powerful alliance in history.

the ongoing new lavender scare has been hard for me to grapple with. if you are transgender do not get caught doing anything illegal and do not say anything anywhere that the state would want to prosecute you over. genuinely, be careful and prepare however you can

The "in touch with the public" is exactly it. This is not simply a problem of bad communications strategy - it's a problem of shriveled capacity for feedback, and fear of the political disruption that remedying the problem would involve.

Once again, just like with Musk and Twitter, these fucking idiots don't understand what was already happening, rip it down, and then try to rebuild the same thing, but way dumber, because they can't understand nuance and complexity.

This is a sign that the capitalist billionaire class no longer cares about the consumer class, period. You will see more and more consumer focused brands liquidate as they pull their money in preparation for the genocide about to occur.

i think everyone needs to stop framing whats going on as “bending the knee” and what’s really happening which is “they’re finally feel free to do what they’ve always wanted to do”

I genuinely think the billionaire class wants to industrialize human life itself. They want to treat us like actual cattle and breed, enslave, slaughter, and process us like animals. They will give us just enough to keep us alive and put us to work. When we die, we die.

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

Musk is straight up threatening advertisers to stay on X. This is exactly what anyone who knows anything about him expected him to do when he got this power. Musk very clearly sees the US government as just another new arm of his business empire. And is using it all as any authoritarian would.

Your regular reminder that §230 protects YOU, the person reading this post, from being sued for reposting things just as much as it protects "Big Tech" from things that still wouldn't be a viable cause of action because your problem is not with §230, it's with the first amendment

There's an important point here that I'm not sure everyone is fully appreciating. People still in their probationary periods took their career positions because they were committed to doing the work of keeping the government humming regardless of who won this or any other election.

This also includes veterans, including, I am told, at least some fully qualified wildland firefighters with actual fire experience. Per a source with knowledge: “I want everyone to know that they are firing veterans, fully qualified and trying to serve their country again in civil service.”

One thing that I'm increasingly coming to believe is that stories are going to be central to what comes next. Stories of the harm done. Stories of the great things achieved by government in the past. Stories of valor kindness and quotidian simple resistance.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

It is the darkest of all possible humor that Disney is publicly rolling back their DEI initiatives and removing content warnings from older, racially-insensitive work on the same week that they are releasing a new MCU movie with a Black man as Captain America.
