I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

the arrest of a judge by ICE and FBI for such bullshit reasons is a Rubicon crossing moment. not the last, but a major one.
This brings the inevitable problem that the sitting judge he just arrested has to go in front of another judge now. What that judge does in response to such a blatant abuse of power will low-key decide the future of the country.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long.

They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :)

Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Treasury folks: Call FBI Washington Field Office. Report an intrusion into the agency’s system. Let them know what you are seeing. Use a burner phone if you have to. It is better than nothing (screenshot from www.crisesnotes.com/day-five-of-...)

Absolutely. The degree to which congressional Dems should break the norms they've respected in the past ought to be proportional to the threat posed by what the administration is now doing, and that threat is unlike anything we've ever seen.
Dems should take a hard line: no CRs or debt ceiling increases without full reinstatement of fired federal employees with back pay and an independent special prosecutor that Trump can't fire to investigate what happened over the last week with Musk.

I now firmly believe that all of our current problems are Reagan’s fault. Once he cut rich people’s taxes by ~50%, we were never going back
