The only person who could conceivably unseat Karen Bass in 2026 is Rick Caruso, who recently named this guy as an advisor to a non-profit he founded dedicated to bettering LA government. Los Angeles is cooked, put it under state receivership.

When Republicans take power do they expand "viewpoint diversity"? No. They purge scientists, delete data and promote their own mediocre minds. If you support Trump you are signaling membership in a movement that *hates* science, science is not obligated to pretend otherwise. bsky.app/profile/popu...

not to freak anyone out or anything but I’ve been reading the Anatomy of Fascism by Robert Paxton and I think the concept of fascism as a model of government featuring a normative state and a prerogative state is potentially going to be useful for thinking about DOGE

According to Frankels model of Nazi governance, the "normative" segment of a fascist regime continued to apply the law according to due process, and officials in that sector were recruited and promoted according to bureaucratic norms of competence and seniority. In the "preroga-tive" sector, by contrast, no rules applied except the whim of the ruler, the gratification of party militants, and the supposed "destiny" of the Volk, the razza, or other "chosen people." The normative state and the prerogative state coexisted in conflict-ridden but more or less workmanlike coop-eration, giving the regime its bizarre mixture of legalism!2 and arbitrary violence.
Hitler never formally abolished the constitution drafted in 1919 for the Weimar Republic, and never totally dismantled the normative state in Germany, though he himself refused to be bound by it-refusing, for example, to have a euthanasia law drafted for fear of having his hands tied by rules and bureaucracy.

Elon Musk is so close to finally killing California high-speed rail — a goal he’s pursued for over a decade — even though his alternative the Hyperloop is an absolute joke. Killing HSR is about keeping people trapped in cars and planes.

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican. Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries. We are not going anywhere. Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO. No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids." Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false." It's a big step towards very bad things.
