Targeting trans people, Black people, immigrants etc is not a “distraction” from fascism, it IS fascism.
It lives in complementary relationship to destroying democracy, because democracy is inherently about participation of minorities.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

We're also at the mercy of Silicon Valley's cult of its own products and procedures. From Heather Cox Richardson's newsletter last night:
![Both Wired and the New York Times reported yesterday that Musk’s team intends to cut government workers and to use artificial intelligence, or AI, to make budget cuts and to find waste and abuse in the federal government.
Today Jason Koebler, Joseph Cox, and Emanuel Maiberg of 404 Media reported that they had obtained the audio of a meeting held Monday by Thomas Shedd for government technology workers. Shedd is a former Musk employee at Tesla who is now leading the General Services Administration’s Technology Transformation Services (TTS), the team that is recoding the government programs.
At the meeting, Shedd told government workers that “things are going to get intense” as his team creates “AI coding agents” to write software that would, for example, change the way logging into the government systems works. Currently, that software cannot access any information about individuals; as the reporters note, login.gov currently assures users that it “does not affect or have any information related to the specific agency you are trying to access.”
But Shedd said they were working through how to change that login “to further identify individuals and detect and prevent fraud.”
When a government employee pointed out that the Privacy Act makes it illegal for agencies to share personal information without consent, Shedd appeared unfazed by the idea they were trying something illegal. “The idea would be that folks would give consent to help with the login flow, but again, that's an example of something that we have a vision, that needs [to be] worked on, and needs clarified. And if we hit a roadblock, then we hit a roadblock. But we still should push forward and see what we can do.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ya7gfadgypyypiva5pboi6mi/bafkreigdrusm7fgobwxwzzqrc3fqhx2csbqdsvn4e3weejkihenozfl4ui@jpeg)

Impeach Bessent & Trump now. Use privileged resolutions.
In less than a month, Trump has made air travel unsafe, failed to see that the laws are faithfully executed, destroyed our credibility abroad and shredded the constitution and scoffed at the rule of law.
Please remind me what Elon Musk is doing in this regime. None of it is legal. We did not elect Elon Musk.
You swore an oath to support and defend the constitution. I hope you intend to honor that solemn promise.
Start by impeaching Scott Bessent. He gave access to the Treasury Department’s computers, data, and funds to Elon Musk and a group of college students. This is felonious and disqualifying. He condoned and enabled a coup.
Any member of Congress can introduce a privileged motion. Once introduced it must be voted on. Do this today, please. Bessent is a danger to our democracy. So is Musk. Please refer him and his young goons to DOJ.
Next please introduce privileged motions to impeach Trump: one separate resolution for each of the 17 IGs he dismissed. One for each law he broke, for each illegal executive order.
Our democracy is being strangled alive: it's your job to known the constitution and to support and defend it.
Please reply in writing to let me know how you will be supporting and defending the constitution against blatant unconstitutional power grab of Trump and Musk.
