The DOGE Takeover Is Worse Than You Think What’s happening to the US government right now is bad. What comes next is worse.

Okay... we feel like we say this every week but *a lot* of stuff happened. Let's break it down, starting with @brbarrett.bsky.social on why the DOGE takeover is worse than you think... (sorry, but you gotta read this one.)

Needed this. Spent the last hour doomscrolling. Think I'll get angry at Wordle and Connections instead lol

Another thing re antidotes... the people you love, who you value... be in the moment with them. Not distracted, not on your phone, but fully present. Open to them. So you can see them and be seen. This feels even more important right now.

Trump administration offering buyouts to nearly all federal workers The Trump administration is offering millions of federal workers the option to accept buyouts through a government-wide "deferred resignation" program.

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.”

Holy shit that response is amazing

@charliekirk11 - Jul 31, 2020: BREAKING: President @realDonaldTrump just announced on Air Force One that he will be banning the evil CCP-compromised app TikTok America can’t continue to allow our citizens to be surveilled by Xi Jinping and his terroristic cronies I have long advocated for this. ==================================== @charliekirk11 - 4h: Trump is saving TikTok. Pay attention, Gen Z.

lol lmao

so is it a national security threat? Trump and most of Congress seem to think so. Is him re-enabling it mean he no longer thinks it's a security threat? (FTR, I always found this argument specious as China likely already has every US consumer data AND every other social media platform does, too)

...how anybody can see this as anything beyond ass kissing and a grift is so painfully unaware it hurts. I was never on the platform, but it will be interesting to see how/if it changes after Trump is in office

Tiktok goes offline for less than a day and then comes back. Trump takes credit for it and says he'll issue an EO to restore it and Tiktok THANKS him. Not to mention that Trump met with the CEO of TikTok in December 2024,who is rumored to attend the inauguration...

Lemme get this straight: Trump issues an EO in 2020 claiming TikTok presents a national security threat. It is then almost unanimously banned by Congress. Supreme Court agrees. The party line is it's a national threat. TikTok then goes dark with an appeal that only Trump can bring it back...

Can't wait for this and then the eventual Dr Phil saga

My advisor warned me that academics trend towards bitterness. He encouraged me to intentionally resist this, remember where I came from, and never forget the privilege of getting to spend a life working with knowledge and ideas. He too said that bitterness and resentment is easy.

Since we’re all talking about Greenland and Canada now would be a good time to remind people that Puerto Rico and Washington, DC actually should be added as the 51st and 52nd states.

Also - please spend time deciding how you are going to engage with the content this administration and the complicit media are going to be putting out from here on out.

Our nervous systems are precious resources and keeping them in a hyper-reactive state is BAD-real bad. We need to be intentional.

What is even going on?!
