For all Trump's talk of manufacturing jobs, you didn't see the CEOs of GE and Caterpillar sitting in the prime seats today. You saw the CEOs of Amazon and X and Meta and Google and TikTok.
It's the attentional oligarchs whose power he cares about.

Amy Spitalnick, chief executive of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, calls out Elon Musk for "his fascist Roman salute."
"We know precisely where this extremist behavior leads," she says.
Amy would know. In her previous role, she led the organization that sued the "Unite the Right" neo-Nazis.

“Jewish safety isn’t assured by abandoning values like inclusivity, pluralism and democracy, but by doubling down on them.” @amyspitalnick.bsky.social www.jta.org/2024/12/15/i...
Amid war and an election, the Jewish mainstream bends to the right — and not just on Israel - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Jews feeling threatened by campus protests and the rise of antisemitism look to Jewish organizations and a new administration to crack down.

Like Putin, Erdoğan, and Orbán, Netanyahu is trying to silence a critical, independent newspaper. Haaretz will not balk and will not morph into a pamphlet that publishes messages approved by the government and its leader.

Genuinely worried about this. As with many autocratic tactics, these kinds of moves seek to induce compliance by imposing large costs on targeted individuals
I hope federally funded scientists are preparing for large scale, bad faith attacks by Musk and his troll army.
It’s pretty clear the DOGE operation is going to take snippets of grant proposals and papers, present them out of context, and direct weaponized harassment of individual people.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
