Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters right now that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington. Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.

Elon Musk absolutely loves throwing vicious tantrums at people who are far more talented and brave than himself. What a worm.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Lin Brehmer, legendary and deeply missed DJ of WXRT Chicago played “This Must Be the Place” from Talking Heads as his first song on the air. David Byrne and Robyn were amazing performing that together. #SNL50

So you can just say you work at DOGE and pillage anything from our documents you want. The law truly doesn't exist anymore! Cool!

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself

Here's what's happened, if you're just tuning in: 1. Musk ally Tom Krause told the Treasury career staff to cut off USAID payments 2. The career staffer resisted, saying doing so is illegal 3. The career staffer was ousted by Trump team 4. Krause has now been installed as head of the payments system

The country I was born in, which no longer exists, hosted the Winter Olympics in 1984, then summarily self-immolated in a mad orgy of ethno-nationalist violence less than 10 years later. Civilisation is a thin veneer. I think about that a lot these days. I wish I didn’t have to.

I’m convinced that Trump thinks when he opened the dams in Northern California that water always flows north to south

When you’re in a relationship with a malignant narcissist—as we all are now with Trump—it’s important to stay out of emotionally reactive mode and instead to observe and act with detachment. Emotional reactivity draws you into their defensive structure, and you can take in their toxic projections.
