“The Trump administration has launched a comprehensive attack on knowledge itself, a war against culture, history, and science,” @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. “If this assault is successful, it will undermine Americans’ ability to comprehend the world around us."
The Attack on Knowledge
America could soon find itself in a new Dark Age.

SCOOP— FEMA essential functions are at "high risk" of not functioning properly just days before hurricane season because of staffing shortages, per a recent internal memo obtained by The Handbasket.

These deficiencies "may disrupt life-saving and life-sustaining program delivery."

Full story here:

The agency in charge of mitigating disasters is in the midst of its own.

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

One of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen!

So we can afford to give him and the richest people $7 trillion in tax cuts, but we “can’t afford” to rebuild homes after hurricanes?!?!?!

How does this make YOUR life better?? We get screwed for them to get richer. It’s 🐎💩!!!!

As @sarahkendzior.bsky.social would say, this is a “transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government.”
Just despicable and disgraceful. The US government is now indistinguishable from the mafia.

Just thinking a lot about how Democrats responded to public pressure by attempting to go into federal buildings and giving up immediately when stopped by security and how apt of a metaphor that is.

Imagine if they had pushed back. Gotten detained, thrown out, arrested. These are choices.

Anyone seen Harrison Butker?

Did he leave at Halftime with Donald Trump? Shame to get all the way to the Super Bowl and not play, I love this for him!

Maybe his job should be in the kitchen, having babies.

This very moment resolve to stop talking about all this from a doomer’s perspective. All that does is feed the momentum and discourage people from acting and opposing. Stop posting asking when someone will do something and do something.

You’re in a class war. You’re a participant, like it or not.

Once more, there is no “Left”

In the post-war era leftists were hunted down, murdered, terrorized, depowered, isolated, and neutralized. What is referred to as “the Left” now is centrist/barely center-left. If it’s to exist again we’ll need to build it

THE MYTH OF THE LEFT
Our political environment is based on weaponized misunderstandings and advantageous illusions. It's time we disabuse ourselves of these lies and create something better.

Public money is for public schools.

If religious schools want tax money, tax the churches.

On this day, 60 years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. earned the Nobel Peace Prize. At just 35 yo, he received this honor for his unwavering commitment to nonviolence, equality, & justice.

His words & dedication remain relevant & valuable today. In fact, even more so.
Teaching MLK’s work is vital.
