It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Donald Trump Brings Back “Degenerate Art” The president’s obsession with cultural control is evidence of a continued fascist creep, and not just another joke exercise in narcissism.

The Nazis traded in German kitsch, and so MAGA will trade in Americana. Last week, Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself as a conductor before the National Orchestra ...”

“The things the historians were saying seemed complicated at first, but now it makes sense to me,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX)

Thank you, Kroll Berlin, for the safe shipping! This piece was meant to be shown in Berlin, but it’s heading to a private collection in St. Louis instead. I will miss it.

Living in Berlin and watching Elons "salute" was painful, but I've noticed many on other platforms, ah, the tech bro ones... scrambling to water it down. Let's call it out what it is... a #fascist gesture. And it also was designed I am sure to bait us into #outrage. #aoc

Trump Asserts a Muscular Vision of Presidential Power on First Day Back (Gift Article) In a flurry of unilateral executive actions, Mr. Trump revived disputed claims of broad presidential authority from his first term — and made some new ones. Court battles seem likely.

Elon Musk is directing harassment toward individual federal workers An old tactic returns.

If you haven't stopped using X, please do. It will continue to be, and greatly weaponized in the months ahead. If you want to keep your account to protect your handle I understand. Let's leave Elon with an empty bot platform.
