The US military just purged their website of mentions of the Holocaust, 9/11 remembrance, cancer awareness, sexual assault, and suicide prevention to align with their new “anti-DEI” policies.

I’m sure Trump will condemn this publicly in the strongest possible terms, and demand that Putin stop the senseless killing and indiscriminate bombing by Russians of civilian targets.

Screen grab of census.gov

NEW: The Census Bureau's homepage — census.gov — is back online as of 7 p.m. ET. The bureau's public information office has not yet responded to my question about what caused the website to be down for about two hours.

Please reply with any broken links or missing pages you find...

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

AOC 🔥🎯

If she can do it, we can all do it.

CNN reports that the January 6 criminals have been told they are invited to attend inaugural balls tonight. They are going to be released from the D.C. jail momentarily.

All are insurrectionists.

We are not a democracy anymore, folks. We do not have rule of law.

Emergency Powers Are About to Be Tested Trump’s potential use of wartime authority may be the first signal of how he intends to govern the second time around.

Donald Trump has vowed to use the military to carry out the largest deportation effort in American history. “The actions he proposes to take would, at a minimum, be an abuse of power,” Elizabeth Goitein writes. “And they might well be illegal to boot.”

(🧵) A thread on possible reasons Inauguration Day is being moved indoors. To be clear—speaking as a Trump biographer—the chances it’s being moved because Trump is concerned about the safety of the crowd in frigid temps is...zero. It’ll be cold but not dangerously so, and he doesn’t value human life.

Issuing blanket pardons for the January 6 rioters would be an assault on the criminal-justice system—and, in particular, the judges who have worked tirelessly to handle nearly 1,600 cases, Mary McCord argues. theatln.tc/qDYYu6EX

The Far-Right Extremist Pronatalism of Elon Musk Could Destroy Humanity in Decades Musk’s mind is a haunted house of farcical ideas whose dangers he can’t understand or (worse) understands fine—from Nrx and Yarvinism to TESCREALism and techno-optimism. Pronatalism is a launch point.

It’s so bad. My friends...it’s so bad.

What these men—we know their names—have planned for us is a nightmare come to life. As ever, I have recorded its known contours with exhaustive sourcing.

The simple version is that Musk says he wants to save humanity, but he’s plunging us into utter darkness.

Be best! 🤡

Coming tonight to PROOF (sethabramson.substack.com).

This one goes well beyond the headline to cover aspects of what is going on with Musk and Zuckerberg that will shock and disgust.

Trump Signals a ‘Seismic Shift,’ Shocking the Washington Establishment The president-elect’s early transition moves amount to a generational test of a system as he seeks to rewrite the balance of power and install lieutenants to blow up key parts of government.

I feel like—ten years into the Trump era—journalists should have better language for what is happening that goes beyond verbs like shocking, upending, overturning, frustrating...

Every educated person understands Donald Trump is at war with the United States itself.

He's doing violence to America.

I have been thinking long and hard about ways of maintaining our pride and courage in the face of the fascist regime about to begin.

It occurs to me that as Trump and his policies and his agents cause the deaths of our fellow citizens, we should honor their names and faces and stories publicly.
