And we are paying them daily. This ain't mathing.
Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

This is barely veiled racism, antisemitism. Don't let yourself think "it's just politics or money". It is power to commit genocide of Jewish, any person of the global majority and Queer people. The white minority cannot win without your complicity. Don't obey in advance. No justice, no peace.
reading this and I think most people—even people who think Musk is pretty far gone—don't fully understand the extent to which he is gone. diving into his feed for an extended period of time is a truly horrifying experience that's even a lot critical news-speak does not really capture.
A story about the virulent racists Musk is regularly promoting on his site.
This include many interactions (as recently as this morning) with an anon who is "impressed" by the Holocaust.

:stares in Wisconsin higher ed:
a majority of academics have been very silent about the politically-driven austerity politics that have been gutting the small/non-elite system for at least a decade now. so yes, this was coming.

Some higher ed organizations who are loudly circling the wagons against federal funding cuts were oddly silent or circumspect about the earlier attacks on CRT and DEI.
I wish there was a better understanding that these attacks are coming because we failed to repel those.

Alt National Park Service had been sharing info from Congressional staffers that calls are the only thing making a difference. Representatives get daily counts of how many are calling about what issues. They are recommending 6 calls per day, both local and DC figures of your reps.

This is a really thoughtful analysis
To be clear, I support everyone who protests, but as someone with a long history of organizing protests & direct action, I'm not rushing into the streets right now. That's not about capitulation or feelings of defeat. It's about a particular strategic analysis of what's needed, as I discussed here:
Collective Survival, Adaptation and Direct Action
Defiance must be woven into the fabric of our daily lives, rather than simply proclaimed at marches or on social media.

Wonder if there is someone in the Trump administration that would want to destroy the traditional US auto industry
25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico will cause major destruction of the auto industry and more. This lunatic has no idea what he’s doing.

Again: Trump just ordered 2 dams open to levels that would’ve flooded areas and farms, without warning, all to back up the lies he told about the fires — and the rivers don’t even flow to LA.

I think the fascists who are now carrying out a coup in the US have spent the last 8 years conducting a Criminal Interview of the Democratic party.
They've concluded, correctly, that the Democrats are incapable of making the mental shift required to do what's necessary to defend themselves. 5/
