That’s when he goes into his Jim Jones voice like the final days in Guyana.

Hard to believe he is in such a position of power when he knows so very little and distorts so much

Love this, your artist eye is wide open

Cruel and stupid is attempting coup

That’s an old trope from AIDS epidemic in several African countries. Good book called Letting Them Die that inspired several USAID public health programs. No doubt they have been cut now.

It gets uglier by the day. Resist. Rise for truth and justice, for compassionate action. In these times compassionate action means ousting the abusers of power DJT and all the neo nazis like musk, Vance, and other admirers and collaborators of Putin and Orban.

I believe they are following viktor orbans trajectory and plan to remain in power indefinitely.

He’s really following viktor orban

I guess a quarter trillion isn't enough for that level of emotional poverty, so he's grifting from you, me, and the children abandoned by USAID.

We who never adopted husbands name are fine but the repugs own wives would likely lose out

A great way to start our weekend. Thank you @newyorkstateag.bsky.social for your courageous leadership in a time of enormous challenge.

Musk blocked from Treasury, must immediately destroy any data he and his malicious posses removed.

But Canadians don’t want to join us on probability they will LOSE universal healthcare, social safety net. Their higher taxes may be matched by higher taxes here - unless you are super wealthy. Not a good thing for Canadians. I speak as a former immigrant with Canadian daughter.

It is so copies are a lot of cash.

Oooh expensive, might have to make my own

Loving this deck. This is one for me.

Beautiful, did you paint this card?

Demonstration called by local @indivisible.org chapters in front of the San Francisco offices of California's senators, Padilla and Schiff. First sign quotes Raskin: "We don't have a 4th branch of government called Elon [Musk]"

He won’t live that long

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

Trump and Musk demand termination of federal office leases through General Services Administration One of the next moves in President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s effort to fire government employees and curtail operations is using the agency that manages federal employee worksites around the countr...

This may not sound shocking, but it is one of the most shocking parts of this coup: why would you shut down all the federal offices unless you're nihilists who've decided we don't need a government? apnews.com/article/trum...

Maybe You Should Shout Fire in a Crowded Theater (If It's On Fire): The Coup Continues Rebecca Solnit Rebecca Solnit 05 Feb 2025 — 8 min read Yesterday the Associated Press ran a story with this sentence in it: "Last week, regional managers for the General Services Administration, or GSA, received a message from the agency’s Washington headquarters to begin terminating leases on all of the roughly 7,500 federal offices nationwide, according to an email shared with The Associated Press by a GSA employee." That sentence came a little after after the opening sentence which declared that Musk and Trump were moving "to cut down on office space." So far as I can tell this means largely eliminating the federal government--for example the federal government has in my region (California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, some Pacific US territories) 170 government-owned buildings and leased space in 827 buildings. Meanwhile the difference between reducing and eliminating all the leased space seems more or less like the difference between a haircut and the guillotine. And the story, which seemed clear to me if not the AP, clarifies that Musk's apparent goal isn't to reduce the size of the federal government; it's to eliminate it. Especially if you relate it to all the other stories out there about what Musk is doing, though there's often a notion in mainstream journalism that connecting things to other things is editorializing, that the audience should be delivered facts stripped of context in the name of objectivity.

‘Profoundly cruel’: Trump sends first plane of migrants to Guantánamo Bay President Donald Trump’s administration is preparing to send undocumented immigrants apprehended at the Southern border to the U.S. Naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba on Tuesday. CNN is reporting that...

“Sending immigrants to Guantánamo will cut people off from lawyers, family and support systems... so the U.S. government can continue to violate their human rights out of sight."

SCOTUS gave Trump immunity.

Trump has given everyone who works for him immunity though his pardon power.

They are now all uber men, not bound by laws, norms, separation of powers. Little people things.

Unsurprisingly, they go on a world-altering crime spree.

We Are Not Who They Think We Are: How Human Nature Matters In This Emergency Rebecca Solnit 04 Feb 2025 — 10 min read Welcome to the emergency--or rather Meditations in an Emergency, this newsletter, not the national emergency, which is of course very unwelcome. What's striking to me about all the things our morally and imaginatively impoverished billionaires, notably Musk and Trump, right now is: they do not expect or imagine or understand consequences. Any of them– their theory of change seems to be that they are going to do stuff and then it will be done. Like they're moving furniture around, like you and I and the trans and immigrant communities and federal workers and Canada and Mexico are just so many sofas and chairs that are going to sit where they place us. Like we're inanimate objects. Maybe everything is dead in the sad lonely worldview inside their head. Which would also explain their recalcitrance about climate and nature: if you see it as a collection of inert objects rather than an intricate living system in which what you do to any one part may affect the whole, you grant yourself more license to meddle. But today I'm here to talk about the human--and human nature, and how they misunderstand that too.
