I went to CPAC as an anthropologist to see how Trump supporters are feeling − for them, a ‘golden age’ has begun
This year’s CPAC gathering has been a victory lap for Trump supporters, who have devoted their time at the event to praising the president and his accomplishments.

It’s somehow even more insulting that they want to co-opt an existing national holiday, Flag Day, to just give it to Trump. May as well just give him the Fourth of July while you’re at it.

An excellent question. Where are the Fortune 500 & Wall Street CEOs? Where are the university presidents? Where are the civil society leaders? Not just speaking out specifically in defense of their institutions & democracy, but also about 🇺🇸's global interests? The silence is deafening & shameful.

The elderly and sick of this country know very well that the "leader" of their own government wants us to die, and is taking his first steps toward achieving that mass death. Every day we live is a victory against fascism, but we will need that ultimate victory. Soon.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

A lot of people who know very little about the US govt don't know that a big part of Dept of Energy's portfolio is nukes. That's okay. Not everyone has to know everything. But it turns out the people Elon put in charge of gutting the department's workforce didn't know that either.

Say what you will about Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, Peron or Pinochet (or for that matter Berlusconi, Putin, Erdoğan, Orban or Bolsonaro), none of them sought to systematically destroy the administrative capacity of the state they were overseeing. Trumpism is in this sense something distinctly new.

I wrote about how federal offices are transforming physically under DOGE: harder to get into, less functional, and at USAID, secure intelligence cables literally impossible to access in a closed-off building. It is, in the words of one source, “incredibly stupid.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
