@mandascott.bsky.social it's unintentional and for all the wrong reasons, but could it be that in these early weeks of 2025 we are seeing the roll-out of "de-growth" policies never thought attainable before? Of course, another word for "de-growth" is "collapse."

I am wondering what people think about liberals who insist on keeping their Teslas. To me it’s like becoming a walking advertisement for just what you detest. Thoughts?

Our coup got coupier. Our authoritarianism got more authoritarian. And of course this is stupidity as a battering ram against what is legal and constitutional, because they weaponize stupidity.
If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this.

Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.”

What?!

An opinion piece only a tenured professor could write. Why are faculty & students quiet? It’s the precariat, stupid.

From The Contrarian chat, some good questions! "Why don’t Schumer and Jeffries call an emergency meeting of all senators and representatives and the march to the Capitol steps and tell the press a coup is underway....Why aren’t they breaking the glass on the alarms now!!" @thecontrarian.bsky.social

"Trump thrives on chaos because he gets to be the hero who stops it, even if he was the one who started it. He’s an arsonist who puts out a fire then demands a medal for it." Trump is just distracting the audience so the criminal Musk can do his work.

Trying to understand the logic of the bloodless coup taking place before our very eyes. Trying to imagine how we get through this without becoming a soviet-style police state ruled by tech oligarchs. We need our thrutopian writers and dreamers now more than ever.
