We now have a concentration camp in Florida.
Stop pretending any of this is normal.
If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Worth re-upping:
We need to prepare ourselves for the fact that no matter how hard we fight, we are often going to lose.
But not only is fighting a moral and ethical imperative, it has a function.
As Mario Salva said in 1964, there are times “you have to put your bodies on the gears” of the machine.

Trump deliberately plunged the FAA into chaos as soon as he took office. Musk pushed out the FAA Administrator so the agency was leaderless, Trump fired the entire safety advisory board. He bullied staff to accept buyouts.
