Do not be provoked by evildoers;
do not be jealous of those who do wrong.

For they soon wither like the grass, and like the green grass fade away.

Commit your way to the Lord;
put your trust in the Lord,
and see what God will do.

—Psalm 37

Fascism isn’t coming to America, it’s already here.

We are long past the warnings of an approaching existential threat looming on the distant horizon of our story, which many of us spent the past decade imploring people not to ignore.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is definitely one of the good ones.

Today he HAMMERED Trump with a detailed list of all the prices that are going up because of Trump's trade wars.

Make sure everyone sees this.

Democrats only point of real institutional leverage is the budget and debt ceiling. Narrow majorities and GOP divisions mean they need Dem votes.
As @joshtpm.bsky.social argues, they should say no help unless the lawbreaking stops.
And stick to your guns. Extraordinary times, extraordinary measures.
Where’s the Real Power Nexus? How Does the Opposition Get To It?
I’ve made this point a few times in passing in other posts....

Well, well.
Musk, routinely attacks individual federal employees, as do many in the MAGA movement.

He and Trump officials have threatened legal action towards anyone revealing information about DOGE employees who are engaged in massive and potentially illegal actions. I wonder why?
I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."

He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

Cuz that ALWAYS works
Yeah, that’s how conflicts of interest work. We always let individuals decide for themselves.
The White House said Elon Musk will determine if there are conflicts of interest between his work reviewing federal spending and his overlapping empire of six companies

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.
