Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

A thought. Many of us are wondering why the Democrats are not taking a more vocal and hard stand? Maybe they’re wondering why we’re not marching outside the GSA, protesting the hijacking of our private information and that of our government by a private citizen. Maybe we all need to get moving.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

We are not crazy, Elon Musk did the Nazi salute and if Americans refuse to believe that you must have forgot that Nazis, when fleeing Germany, found their home in America. They didn’t just come to this country — this country employed and empowered them.

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

Everything that Trump said and did today -- all of it -- was entirely predictable based on his campaign, character, and first term in office. If you're surprised, you were either misinformed or not informed enough. We deserve everything that's about to come our way. Buckle up.

At this point I think the Democrats have a masochism/humiliation kink going on. So much bad political strategy! All the time! About matters small and great! They keep thinking if they play by the rules they will persevere whilst Republicans dgaf about rules and do what they want.

It’s wild to think that the right wing has effectively accomplished a coup over our digital public square — with the expecting of BlueSky. And that is scary. That with Trumps own personal social media should be one of the greatest and loudest alarms right now.

Many White men in America would rather ruin the country instead admit that they are wrong and just not cut out out for the job. There is no more entitled and fragile demographic in America than a white man. They are the coddling of the American mind.

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"

I genuinely think we should start calling businesses and schools falling to the anti-DEI movement “segregationists” because they are re-segregating. And earlier rounds of segregationists *also* explained their preferred policy in race-neutral terms (“state’s rights” and “freedom of association”).

John Fetterman telling Americans who are worried about the next Trump presidency to “chill out” is not just callous but shows his disconnect. It may not be a problem for him, but it is for millions of Americans. But sadly, white men like him sacrifice justice and care on the altar of privilege.
