Credit where it’s due: the Democrats are doing a smart, aggressive, focused job of playing up the Trump-Hegseth scandal. Remember, your job as a political activist is to step up and amplify the Democrats, not to sit back and grade their work. So go amplify them.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.
It's Fascism 101.

This is one of several things that distinguish this descent into fascism from previous iterations. The ubiquity of data-driven technologies make it possible for them to sort us into buckets and touch our lives in ways that were not possible before.
One of the best explanations I’ve seen of the stakes of the disregard of data laws intended to prevent wholesale surveillance of the US public by its govt. The DOGE one-two punch is to disregard or dissolve the data regulations that protect us and then use AI to consolidate info about each of us.
The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.
