Shyeah, tell us something we DON'T know, cards.
This page is so great. It's like "doomscroll doomscroll doomscroll CUTE POSSUM PALATE CLEANSER doomscroll..."
Fuuuuuuuuuuuu
Insider fraud. 🎯
Where's the law?
That is some weasel-ass framing. Let's try this:
Emboldened Racists Impersonating Federal Agents Are Kidnapping Random Minorities
That actually gets the point across. Because getting people to read even the first line (which includes the federal crime of impersonating an agent) is gonna be tough.
Before folks start comparing this to European autocracies, pause and ask why so many folks - Black and white - didn’t know about the Tulsa Race Massacre. Or the Wilmington Coup. Or the Colfax Massacre. Or the Elaine, Arkansas massacre.
Erasure has been a key tactic of white supremacy. Right here.
Still not sure why news coverage always frames this movement as "anti-DEI" instead of "pro-white supremacy" or "pro-Master Race."

MEMORANDUM FOR ALL DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES
FROM:
SUBJECT:
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
GENERAL POLICY REGARDING ZEALOUS ADVOCACY ON BEHALF OF THE UNITED STATES'
"[E]xecutive Power." More broadly, attorneys are expected to zealously advance, protect, and defend their client's interests. Department of Justice attorneys have signed up for a job that requires zealously advocating for the United States.
The responsibilities of Department of Justice attorneys include not only aggressively enforcing criminal and civil laws enacted by Congress, but also vigorously defending presidential policies and actions against legal challenges on behalf of the United States. The discretion afforded Department attorneys entrusted with those responsibilities does not include latitude to substitute personal political views or judgments for those that prevailed in the election.
When Department of Justice attorneys, for example, refuse to advance good-faith arguments by declining to appear in court or sign briefs, it undermines the constitutional order and deprives the President of the benefit of his lawyers. It is therefore the policy of the Department of Justice that any attorney who because of their personal political views or judgments declines to sign a brief or appear in court, refuses to advance good-faith arguments on behalf of the Administration, or otherwise delays or impedes the Department's mission will be subject to discipline and potentially termination, consistent with applicable law.
' This guidance is not intended to, does not, and may not be relied upon to create, any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y2tqoxl4zx7iuyh3rhbhdwv3/bafkreic4hwhm45xtfe5w2yb3y27ye4zw72ch2l2jydx3avbn6yxwllwbqi)
This is an absolutely remarkable memo — and a betrayal of both the Constitution and the American political tradition. In the US, by *explicit contrast* with interwar fascist governments, the state is not supposed to be an extension of the personality of the chief executive.
I am incredibly disappointed in Snoop. Up until recently, he was becoming one of my favorite hoomans. Not so much now.
Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

Aged like the bitter truth it was then.
A friend of mine once said, in the Old Man voice, "These kids today with their little tiny backpacks and big big pants! When I was a boy, industrial music was five Bavarian guys under a bridge with jackhammers!"
Bears repeating — the *concessions* Trump wants you to believe he got for his trade war threats at both borders were in place already.
"We have a responsibility as a party to block absolutely everything when they are putting a match to the federal government." — @aoc.bsky.social on IG live just now
and feeding into this are media elites who refuse to take the nazification of the american right seriously because (1) they go to dinner parties with these people and (2) since its uncouth to be a nazi, no one in the public sphere can *really* be a nazi
Hear me out —
If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is.
Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.
ONE BIG THING. When I mentioned that I had heard of at least one person who had already missed a Social Security payment, the staffers snapped to attention. That's a huge deal.
If you or someone you know has missed a Social Security payment, call your reps IMMEDIATELY.
Sure, everything is soul-numbingly terrible, but have you considered cats who love each other so much they nuzzle noses in their sleep?
You mean the people who work in government and see it function support the party that thinks government is supposed to actually function? Scandalous
