Exactly. First we do it to people you probably don’t know, can successfully dehumanize quickly. And then once you’re used to that…

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Many many apologies to the brilliant, important @chenoweth.bsky.social for the fact that I had a typo in their name in this piece! 😬 (And thanks to the folks who caught it for me, way too late.)

This is one of the most important things I've done, just reporting on their work.

We. Can. Do. This.
Over 50% of nonviolent movements to overthrow governments are successful within one year of their peak.

The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a cross-section of society—clergy, kids, grandmas, teachers) using DIVERSE & CREATIVE tactics, with women in leadership.

We can do this.

Noncompliance can happen in a myriad of ways.

If you are able to throw sand in the gears of tyranny, you must do so.
Yes. It is almost thrilling how many ways things can lost, or misplaced, or used incorrectly, and how often people forget, or stall, or send to the wrong place.

And don't let me get started on filing and copying.

Every single person in government who is not up in arms about every single choice this administration does is complicit.

Every act of protest and resistance that you do, that you have capacity to do matters.
While I can't confirm anything at this point, it looks like the National Park Service has taken down web pages for:

NEW: #Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

Breathe. Embrace your free time. Pour into your community. Respect what you can't control. Reject nihilism. Remember pace and perspective. Burnout is the enemy and helps no one, least of all yourself, and should be stridently avoided. That's the only way we're gonna get through this. And we will.

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it

Pretending to ratify the ERA on the last day of the job but not allowing enough time to get it signed, sealed and delivered really takes the definition of virtue signaling to a whole 'nother level.
