Stop complaining about what the news is or isn’t doing. The news is dead. We let private equity kill it and now it’s like ten people trying to fact check press releases. Those ten people doing resistance better or whatever is not going to save us.

Trump is taking on the "deep state" by dumping endless COINTELPRO blackmail records about Martin Luther King Jr, to the glee of white supremacists, while covering up pedophilic blackmail records, also likely an intelligence operation, that he and his buddies are implicated in.

If I were Elon Musk, I'd be embarrassed by the rebuke to my competence as a car maker that *all* Cybertrucks have been recalled for being pasted together with Elmer's Glue.
But I'd be more embarrassed to the rebuke to my competence as a businessman that the recall only affected 46,000 vehicles.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?
Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.
Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Passing the bill will slow down the court cases! If Congress gives Trump the leeway to move money around why would a court sanction him for... moving money around?
ADDITIONAL POINT: I've now heard this independently from enough sources that I think it's true. A big driver of the Yes faction in the Senate Ds is the idea that a shutdown will slow down the court cases. When first heard this a couple days ago I thought youv'e got to be friggin' kidding. REALLY?

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

it was written by a guy who had supported the Nazis as a conservative and came to terribly regret his direct contribution to their evil.
I need to remind you that the famous poem "first they came for x" was written by a White German Priest. The poem was a warning since he too was later to be captured by the Nazis and sent to a camp. Speak up/act before its too late.
Silence will not save you. Your silence will NOT save you. I am always infuriated by the American incapacity for collective action but if y'all don't wake up there's really going to be nothing left for anyone.
