Just like that. A "halt."

Like "civil rights" are just... not a thing anymore.

Poof.
Justice Department Orders a Halt to Civil Rights Work
It also signaled it could seek to back out of Biden-era agreements with police departments that engaged in discrimination or violence.

I for one am excited for TikTok to show me a splashy "The US GOVERNMENT HAS DESTROYED EVERYTHING YOU LOVE" screen when I open the app next week followed by Donald Trump crawling through glass to get it back because it helped get him elected thus solidifying him as a HERO OF THE EVERYDAY AMERICAN.

Wouldn't it be fun if Biden enacted a Presidential Order that disallowed felons from taking the Oval Office? Just spitballing.

I don't make resolutions, ever since I discovered the two perfect ones years ago:

1. Become a more terrifying version of yourself.

2. Do what you already do, but more so.

As the Jack Smith report gets tied up in court with stall tactics, it would seem prudent for some investigative reporter to file a FOIA request so that it can be produced if and when the cases are killed after Jan 20. Pending cases are excepted from FOIA. Closed investigations are not.

If the IRS keeps going after the wealthy tax cheats abusing just this one loophole, that’ll save $100 billion over the next decade.

Republicans want to defund the IRS and put a commissioner in place who will go after you — not the billionaires skirting taxes.
Closing asset loophole can raise $100 billion in taxes, Treasury now says
The new estimate doubles what the agency previously said it could recover by preventing certain large businesses from manipulating the taxable value of assets.

Oh, I want much more than this. I want everything any intelligence agency has on Donald Trump declassified as well as anything the Department of Justice has.

Our intelligence community sat on its ass and did nothing to help us with a walking national security threat for 10 years.

Let that end now.

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas.

You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

When we recognize the deliberate performative element to the GOP, we can begin to recognize what's become embedded in American lexicon. We're being forced into a script of buffoonery, highly effective in WWE, reality shows, catfishing, soap operas, etc.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

Bondi must be asked at her confirmation hearing if Trump lost the election in 2020. Unless her answer is yes, the Senate must reject her nomination. You can't be an election denier & the attorney general joycevance.substack.com/p/gaetz-out
