You cannot go about your life thinking about ways to avoid making fascists angry. You will not succeed, and you will not be free.

Gov. Tim Walz State Address: "We have university students shoved into unmarked vans and fathers being tossed into Salvadorian gulags without a hint of due process. If you say you love freedom, but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn't freedom, it's privilege."

Did you ever see Invader Zim? Zim wants to prove that he's human, so he begins stealing organs and cramming them in his body to trick the school nurse. She praises him near the end: "He's a very healthy boy! So full of organs!" And basically, I want that. But for vaccines. My measles titer was good!

Hands down, the best and most unsettling annotation I've ever found in a used book came this week from Thomas Moore's "Care of the Soul": the front inside cover was filled with aphorisms like "I can do hard things" and the back cover just had this

It’s state sponsored rape and murder of a disenfranchised demographic of its own people. That, folks, is a key component of fascism.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

Conservative billionaires are funding a coordinated effort to dismantle public education to pay for private school vouchers that largely benefit wealthy families and enable corporations to avoid their fair share in taxes.
Now they have a friend in the White House.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

If your boss or company tells you to do something unethical: don't say yes. Make them write it down.
If they won't put it in writing yourself. Send an email (bcc yourself?): "Following our conversation on x date at x time regarding x, I am writing to clarify your directives. According to my notes, you instructed me to A, B, and C. If any of this is incorrect, please advise. I have some concerns."

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?
DON'T DO IT.
If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.
