Imagine being an Article III judge and you get this email on a Saturday night lol

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Make America’s Children Hungry Again. Also, bye #medicaid Pretty soon this country won’t be suitable for anyone who is not a billionaire. #gop #americaunderattack #senate #republicans #healthcare #poverty #hunger #childhoodhunger #cruetly #spendingcuts

Rep. #CliffBentz speaks at a town hall meeting in Boardman, #Oregon on February 20 2025, watch here:

Here’s a list of things Democrats need to start planning to fix — before the 2026 midterms. #americaunderattack #doge #biggovernment #executiveunitarytheory #musk #conflictofinterest #federalworkforce #dncreform

From a friend who is smarter and more well-versed in history than me: “Hypocritical fucks with no moral center - the only difference between Chamberlain slicing up Czechoslovakia for Hitler in 1938 and Trump knifing Ukraine for Putin is that Chamberlain didn’t blame Czechoslovakia.” Shameful.

A microcosm of American cruelty. We are a nation without moral standing. #deportation #crimesagainsthumanity #inhumane #humanrights #immigration #politicalasylum #childimprisonment

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

AOC has the right idea. Corporate welfare costs us $92 billion, the top 1 percent will receive an average tax cut of more than $60,000 in 2025, and it is estimated that extending his 2017 tax cuts will cost $11 trillion over 10 years. Let’s work on getting rid of the waste that is already there.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

“…too weak to govern as president.” This @theguardian.com editorial is exceptionally brutal. This is the tone we must all adopt. The emperor has no clothes. #trump #impoundment #unitaryexecutivetheory #usconstitution #constitutionalcrisis #monarchy #oligarchy #americaunderattack

#Russia invaded #Ukraine. The war was always Russia’s war to end. Blaming the duration and devastation of this war on #Zelensky is idiotic, historical revisionist victim-blaming. It’s like asking a woman why she fought back during an assault when she could have just lied still. #endthewar #putin

A freeze on the hiring and onboarding of thousands of federal firefighters could have deadly consequences as the national wildfire response operates at a "diminished capacity," a federal firefighting captain tells @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social: nbcnews.to/3D0rulI

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.” Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

An excellent look at how “meritocracy” really works in 21st century America. If you want to know who Elon’s kids may grow up to be, start here. #meritocracy #oligarchy #democracy #wealthinequality #training #childhoodeducation #elites #poverty #education #america #economicdisparity #opportunity

Hey @rbreich.bsky.social , I was just thinking that if insurance companies won’t insure homes in fire-prone areas, and mortgage lenders can’t provide home loans without insurance… that pretty much means that future homeowners and landlords will only be wealthy cash buyers who self-insure…?

NEW: A government employee for Notify. gov, a system used by agencies to send mass texts to the public, has resigned in protest after an Elon Musk ally demanded root access to it. They said the system contains the public's phone numbers & private info: www.404media.co/musk-ally-de...

I've been writing BLOOD IN THE MACHINE for months, but I was on the fence about going all-in. Recent events have made the call easier. Elon Musk, the Silicon Valley oligarchs and their AI are taking over. I want to do all I can to push back. I hope you'll join me, and I'm asking for your support.

My senator @wyden.senate.gov held a town hall. It’s not getting very good reviews. We either need new party leadership and a plan of action NOW (not in two years)… or we need a new party to serve as opposition. None of this can wait. #americaunderattack #democraticreform #dnc #senate #townhall

Seriously, now. This is not the thing with which to screw — and they be screwin’. #nuclear #environmentaldisaster #greenenergy #hanford #trump #federalspending #radioactive #doge #stupid

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent. SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

We know what sort of #legislativebranch of government we can look forward to for the next four years. Time to find out if the #judiciary has lost its spine, too. #americaunderattack #oligarchy #justice #corruption #ericadams #bove #justicedepartment

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The average American is being harvested. The rich are wringing out every last cent they can before things get… untenable. #medicaid #snap #socialsecurity #theft #classwar #wealthtransfer #oligarchy #gop #trump #doge #musk

“We’re going to leave people abandoned,” says leading bioethicist Dr. Ruth Faden. Faden discusses the Trump administration’s abrupt shutdown of USAID-funded clinical trials, ending access to critical healthcare for patients across the world. www.democracynow.org/2025/2/17/us...

Republicans aren’t hiding anything. Their priorities are written in black and white: trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the rich, while making savage cuts to Medicaid, housing, nutrition and education. The reconciliation bill will make the rich even richer and the poor poorer.

I wrote about the worst people in the world, charting the depths of their depravity and vastness of their incompetence, and offered some thoughts about the opportunity presented by their failure to acknowledge reality and their refusal to access any form of human virtue. www.the-reframe.com/the/
