Robert Reich No One Is Safe From Trump's Authoritarianism

If we don’t speak up for the communities that Trump is terrorizing right now, we will be next.

His authoritarianism will come for all of us in the end. https://youtu.be/tkaBlgXR8tY?si=bJcUxXZWMrae4kwx

me, living in a society made to make me feel exhausted and crazy: wow why do I feel exhausted and crazy

I love puffins because they have both penguin and capybara vibes.

The stages of dealing with dragons in Skyrim.

1. Oh no! Oh no! It's so big! What do I do?

2. Okay, you can do it, you did it before.

3. Nice! Now I'll get some dragon bones.

4. Another one, really? Fine.

5. Seriously? I'm overweight as is and can't carry more scales or bones.

Very excited for this year's RiotFest aka Geriatric Millennial Live Aid.

Me- *Looks at the price of my groceries this week with Trump tariffs just now starting to take effect*

Oh, people are going to unalive themselves over this.

The Social Security Administration under Trump/Musk/DOGE:

-Website crashed 4 times in 10 days
-Phone lines are overwhelmed
-Staff being forced out
-Customer experience office eliminated
-SSA field offices on the chopping block

This is an attack on Social Security itself.

Please pay attention and be aware. This timeline is wild. #educational TikTok video by 🌺🪽Goddess Mia🪬🧿

US Customs are confiscating phones and going through them. They are even taking US citizens phones and looking through Social Media accounts. So please be aware and share to anyone whose planning on leaving. Even if it's to just take a crusie.

Fuck Stephen Miller and Tom Homan to hell. Goddamn bastards, both of them.

What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced Exclusive photos of the arrival of Venezuelan detainees deported from the U.S.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Every Irish person who has complained to me about Irish politics has immediately followed it up with “of course I know it’s nothing compared with what you’re dealing with…”

❤️BREAKING❤️ - Bernie Sanders before 20k People in Tucson:

"They have the wealth. They have all the money in the world. They have the power. They have the media. But you know what they don’t have? We’ve got 20,000 people here in Tucson and we got 100's of millions of people all across this country."

Confession- For years of my life I never actually saw the title of Adele’s “chasing pavements”, I only ever heard it on the radio, so I was convinced the song was “chasing penguins” and I thought this woman had created a quirky song about wanting to leave her man and move to Antarctica.

Not a drag queen.
Not a trans person simply trying to exist in peace.

This is who comes after your children: Republican men who hide behind a cross and wrap themselves in the flag.

We need to protect our kids from Justin Eichorn and people like him who prey on them.

Things I learned from being homeless

1) The government hates you. It hates all of you.

2) The rich hate you too.

3) If they come for homeless people, you’re next.

4) Wall Street bankers are actually psychopaths. Like, American psycho is not an exaggeration.

Congrats, they heard you! The Social Security Administration has decided tonight to abandon its plans to end phone service for millions of Americans filing retirement and disability claims. Thank you to all who shared our post and made calls today—you did it!

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security.

What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices.

Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

DOGE firings have upended the lives of thousands of hardworking civil servants — including park rangers, disease researchers, and veterans.

Meanwhile, DOGE's own staffers are drawing hefty six-figure government salaries from the very agencies they are sabotaging.

"Efficiency."

The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning to fire more than 80,000 employees.

Do we think that we'll see more Spirit Halloween stores now with all the federal office closures? Or do we think the deep horror of reality is enough that we won't need any store-bought?

A brief word today at the end of the fifth horrific week of Trump 2.0. We are witnessing the transformation of our democracy into a dictatorship (or, as Trump enjoyed promoting this week, a monarchy). https://robertreich.substack.com/p/from-democracy-to-dictatorship

Don't let Trump flood your zone. Stay focused. Keep your eye on what this corrupt regime is really doing — looting the government to line their own pockets with massive tax cuts and the ability to steer more federal contracts their way.

Doge staffers enter Noaa headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats Members reportedly sought access to IT systems at agency that Project 2025 has called ‘harmful to US prosperity’

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.
