getting new cars every couple of years is one of those consumption things we need to make illegal. if you buy a car you need to make a death pact with it, you cannot get a new one until it’s dead and buried

When did firing people like nuclear scientists and air traffic controllers seem like a better idea than simply taxing the rich?

He's going to back the largest Medicaid cuts and the largest uninsuring of Americans in US history then lie about it. He'll call it work requirements, and his model is Georgia, where only 3% of those eligible have gotten coverage.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

The halftime show was a declarative signal that whatever these goons steal, they’ll never have American culture, which is both the most potent expression of American power and the single thing conservatives are desperate for the most. I know they’re frothing at the mouth.

Interesting the extent to which organized labor has led the fight back against the DOGE shutdown efforts while elected Democrats have been almost entirely passive and useless.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

A man who has shown himself to be deeply sympathetic to Nazism might now have all of our Social Security numbers. That is a statement that would have seemed like absurd liberal hyperbole a few years ago, but is now just a neutral statement of fact.

The data being removed from government website doesn't belong to the current or any other administration. It is public data, paid for by all of us, to serve all of us. This is theft of public goods in service of an odious private agenda.

So we’ve moved to the next stage. Either an incompetent Black person is to blame, or a white person who was made incompetent by the stress of working with a Black person.

I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET

To be clear about what is happening here: The Trump administration is pushing out reputable media sources and replacing them with highly ideological state propaganda apparatuses. At the same time, they're purging federal law enforcement agencies so they can staff them with loyalists.

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it. This is the precedent.
