Harvard says it will not yield to Trump’s demands - The Boston Globe Lawyers for Harvard University said Monday the school will not comply with a list of expanded demands from the Trump administration.

How refreshing.

This is the wildest story I have literally ever read. In any normal circumstances, a half-dozen senior officials would be forced to resign over this—starting with the National Security Advisor. And I doubt anyone will face any accountability at all.

America's "Constitutional Crash" This isn't "just" a crisis.

In effectively a single blink of the historical eye, we’ve seen our entire constitutional system simply … stop. We can clearly see what’s happening is wrong—illegal and unconstitutional—and the actors who can do something about that just … aren’t. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-s-...

Navajo Code Talkers get "DEI" label as military info disappears under Trump order Also vanishing: The Civil War regiment from "Glory," women pilots from WWII and a Medal of Honor winner.

The erasing of history we are seeing right now in the US reminds me of the Taliban blowing up the Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan in 2001.

I called my NH senators. One is not answering the phone (gee, I wonder why? The other's staffer "had not been briefed" on how the senator planned to vote. Spineless.

Thousands of fired federal workers must be rehired immediately, judge rules U.S. District Judge William Alsup described the mass firings as a “sham” strategy by the government’s central human resources office.

And when will these orders actually start being enforced? They are meaningless otherwise.

The Trump administration and DOGE are destroying jobs and economic growth across the American economy—directly with firings & cancelled federal & local grants, & indirectly & more broadly with all the economic activity they once spurred.

And it’s only been 51 days since Inauguration.

Trump’s FBI Moves to Criminally Charge Major Climate Groups The Trump administration is targeting climate organizations that received a Biden-era grant.

"The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration."
Umm, WHAT?! I know I shouldn't be surprised by anything after what we've so far, but it just keeps getting crazier and worse.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD Just WHEN IN THE HELL will our Democratic leaders understand the peril we are in?

JD Vance spending this weekend skiing at Sugarbush. TY Vermont 🩵

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

Choose Democracy: resources to promote democracy Regular people can stop an undemocratic power grab, but only if we prepare and together, we choose democracy.

If you're looking for some great databases of the ongoing resistance (as well as some other useful resources) here's a thread of where to start.

The more crimes these people commit, the greater their incentive never to allow another free election.

The Trump-Putin non aggression pact of 2025 will contain a secret clause that assigns Poland to Russian sphere in exchange for US keeping Alaska.

White Nationalist Forces Consolidate Power Alongside Musk’s Junta A second update on Elon Musk's coup from our intrepid imaginary foreign correspondent

"The capital’s limbo status was reflected in a bizarre power sharing arrangement—some agencies were directly controlled by Musk, while others remained led by ideologically aligned ministers appointed by the figurehead Trump." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/white-nati...

People control circus animals because they inflict pain and fear causing the animals to obey. The animals don't know their own strength, but they could easily destroy the circus. Right now, we are the circus animals. When we realize our power, the whole tent will come crashing down!

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

What you can do Revised and expanded

In light of Trump II’s first 18 days of mayhem — including his and Musk’s coup against our system of government — many are asking: “What can I do now?”

Here’s a revised and expanded list, in rough order of importance.

BREAKING: The US State Department flag has been spotted flying upside down—a universal signal of distress.

Today, Right Now, is the Easiest Moment To Draw the Line Against Donald Trump There is no other cavalry coming.

Every day for the last nine years, nearly every Republican and every institution in American life in the US has hoped that someone *else* would be the one to draw the line against Donald Trump. Now it should be clear:

There’s no one else coming.

It's us.

Not for nothing, but announcing that the US is taking over Gaza the same week you’re neutering the FBI’s entire counterterrorism program isn’t that smart from a security perspective.

Why does the world’s richest man, a man no one voted for, have access to my Social Security number?

Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government Imagining how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...
