When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

It's been several hours since I first watched this clip of billionaire Howard Lutnick ruminating about Social Security, and I still can't believe it.
It's a rub-your-eyes-in-disbelief moment.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary just said seniors shouldn’t “call and complain” if they stop getting their Social Security checks: “A fraudster always makes the loudest noise screaming and complaining.”

This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC.
There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA.
Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov.
A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world.
It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it.
A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

This is a very good point: mass movements grow slowly, small actions are practice for big actions and build community. Diffuse actions are also a great way to safely demonstrate civil disobedience.
Hey, I'm going to do this, and I hope you will too. Not because I think a one day pause will be a devastating blow, but because coordinated action takes practice, and if you don't do the small stuff, you will have a harder time gearing up for the big stuff.

Good morning friends! Sending you all a big hug on this Friday morning. Today I will be trying to remember that even small acts of kindness and love matter—and to do a few.

This is the story.
DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
