Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Trump just issued an executive order titled: ADDRESSING EGREGIOUS ACTIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA
It says "the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation"

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

My personal theory is that Trump doesn’t give much of a shit about anything except winning, staying out of prison, pardoning his loyalists and getting revenge on people. I think he’s relieved to let Elon do whatever he wants with the government
something that stands out for me at the almost-2.5-week mark is that Musk priorities are actually happening and Trump priorities are not.

There’s a sort of Trump apologist, a relatively small but loud subset, who probably don’t realize or intend to be, but are so attached to a previous hyperbolic claim that they deny anything important changed.

Immigrant children were put in detention centers, abused and even died
It is estimated there are now 4.4 million kids in the US whose parents are undocumented
If Trump deports the adults
The damage to these families will be catastrophic
