YouTube video by Mother Jones It's clear Musk and Trump are weakening our gov't as a force to fight autocracy. #trump #elonmusk

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are on a rampage with a very specific purpose: To weaken our government's ability to fight oligarchy and autocracy.

WATCH:

February 22, 2025 Last night’s Friday Night News Dump was a doozy: Trump has purged the country’s military leadership.

DOGE Has ‘God Mode’ Access to Government Data The president’s special commission now has an unprecedented ability to view and manipulate information at many federal agencies.

DOGE is gaining total control over key government computer systems—and there may be no way to wrest it back, @cwarzel.bsky.social, @ibogost.bsky.social, and @matteowong.bsky.social write.

Works as advertised

Ok that made me laugh

If you’re wondering, here’s the story on the leaked NRO data.

And here’s the part about your bank information.

Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say | CNN Some of the fired probationary employees included on-the-ground staff at facilities where nuclear weapons are built.

More details on this shockingly sloppy episode.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

“Elon Musk is a walking conflict of interest” Federal law forbids any Executive Branch employee from "participating personally and substantially" in matters "that will affect his own financial interests."

“Elon Musk is a walking conflict of interest,” Craig Holman, the government affairs lobbyist at the consumer watchdog Public Citizen, said. “Over and over again, he’s just involved in governmental actions that directly and substantially impact his own financial wellbeing.”

Kash Patel failed to disclose two companies involved in a million-dollar land deal Trump's nominee for FBI head continues to generate questions about his finances.

Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to head the FBI, failed to divulge an important set of corporate ties on the financial disclosure form and questionnaire he was required to fill out as part of his Senate confirmation process.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

A red envelope with the word "husband" on it, placed upside down on the keyboard of my desktop computer.

My wife has given me a Valentine's Day envelope addressed to "pudq'snH," which any true devotee of Star Trek will tell you is a Klingon term of endearment, meaning "The One I Will Kill Last," introduced in the classic Next Generation epis-

What?

(flips envelope 180 degrees)

Ohhhhh riiiight got it

🤣

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Economist Paul Krugman on how political attitudes changed with U.S. economic shifts We're getting a look at how the public mood and political attitudes have changed over time thanks to economic shifts and dislocation. Paul Solman sat down with Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman to ...

Given "what appears to be a loyalty purge of the federal bureaucracy, what appears to be unwillingness of the Trump administration to obey court orders, maybe historians will look back and say that American democracy ended in January 2025," Paul Krugman said. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.

You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.

Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

How to Prevent Trump From Defying the Courts Other countries have demonstrated three possible paths—not all of which lead to good endings.

“Today, America’s judges face a dilemma that has more commonly confronted their peers in other embattled democracies,” Andrew O'Donohue writes. “How to enforce their rulings against a president who is poised to challenge legal constraints on his power.”

Elon Mush effing around with people’s jobs and social security payments while he makes $8 million per day from the fed and apparently just landed a $400M contract to sell sh*tty Teslas to the government…

Somebody’s gonna ☠️ this MF.

I really do feel like I’m losing my mind.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Feels like a good time to re-air some European (musical) free speech.

YouTube video by Marsh Family "Don't Abandon Them" - Marsh Family adaptation of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" about Ukraine

The people of Europe stand with Ukraine against the threat of a false peace as much as brutal war. Because of our shared history. Because of our shared future. Because it is just. Because it is necessary. And because they deserve nothing less. Don't abandon them. #SlavaUkraini

Gutted that YouTube have now refused our appeal, & deemed our song (about Adolf Hitler's complicated historical relationship to socialism) a violation of their hate speech policy.

At the mo, it's still up on Twitter/X and Insta. TikTok version had to be emptied of visuals. Scary times for satire 😔

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access.

It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.
