A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4

So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.
To review what we from @washingtonpost.com are reporting out of the IRS today:
- Projected tax revenue this year is down 10% ($500 billion) as Trump's downsizing is emboldening tax cheats
- IRS is nearing an agreement with ICE to assist on mass deportations

Please listen: You may not think learning about public lands will impact you, but it will. Our public lands are vulnerable & open to becoming privatized & monetized.

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports.

Trump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked Memo
Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?

Concerns arose when it was suggested that employees’ personal data be aggregated in ways that would violate privacy laws without consent. When an employee raised this issue, the response was that they would “try to get consent,” but that it shouldn’t stop them from moving forward with the project.

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

Last week, Trump's FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson shut down requests for public comment on corporate surveillance pricing and other exploitative tactics.

Donald Trump rescinded Biden's action to lower prescription drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid.
There's no other way to spin it. That means more money out-of-pocket for seniors and families.
Big Pharma first. Ordinary people last.
