This brilliant essay by Mystal answers my question earlier about how exactly lawsuits are going to stop Musk’s dismantling of federal agencies and oh yeah… democracy.

05.02.2025 17:08 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Can someone explain why Musk can’t be arrested right now? Or why he can’t be blocked from hopping from one agency to another? Just since Friday, the rampage includes the Treasury, the OPM, USAID, the Dept of Ed. Where is he going next? EPA? GAO? Are lawsuits really going to stop this?!

EMERGENCY PIECE: Previous reports that Musk's DOGE programmers only have "read only" access is inaccurate. I can confirm what @wired.com first reported at 1 AM today that they have Read & WRITE access with a source in BFS referring to this as "apocalyptic"

Perhaps the greatest hoax ever played on America was that this Nazi is a “visionary.”
The media, his biographers, and Silicon Valley got conned by an evil, genocidal RACIST.
If you can’t call this racist. If you can’t see or say what he is, you are complicit in what follows.
“Racism was and is not only a mark, a public mark, of ignorance; it was, and is, a monumental fraud. Racism was never, ever the issue. Profit and money always was.“
—Toni Morrison
Exactly. The biggest story ignored for days while our data is poured into who knows what servers and AI software … by boys tossing flash drives around.

US Senate confirms fracking CEO Chris Wright to be Trump’s energy secretary #Climate
04.02.2025 00:53 — 👍 4 🔁 4 💬 3 📌 1Totally. It’s like a dominant cultural practice where the expectation is to engage in more indirect communication so you can always hedge or deflect if you need to, rather than facing reality head on, which demands “too” direct a response. It’s patriarchal too: “don’t get too emotional, now…”
04.02.2025 01:14 — 👍 4 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0This is crazy. We can’t lawsuit our way out of this.
03.02.2025 21:53 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0NYT is catering to those who don’t like to hear that something is racist, but are “ok” hearing that something “might” be racist: “Hmm, that’s very interesting, I hadn’t thought of that…” This keeps racism forever hypothetical instead of contending with it as a reality that is central to this Admin.
03.02.2025 21:52 — 👍 9 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Yes. Agreed. And it’s still all of our problem to address. Because we are here. Because we have to do good. Because we can’t shrug off our collective survival and collective future.

03.02.2025 18:01 — 👍 183 🔁 67 💬 6 📌 25There was a brief moment when NYT was brave regarding DT. I don’t expect much from them as a corporate mouthpiece, but this is the most flagrant burying of emergency news I have seen in a major newspaper. Chilling.

It goes wider, deeper, drills way down to the heart of how we ended up at American fascism-again. Inside the reality of the tyranny ahead of us, is an opportunity—if we choose to accept the assignment
