One of my favorite facts about the Stonewall riots is that Seymour Pine, the police commander of the initial raid, literally wrote the WWII u.s. army manual on hand-to-hand combat and the queers still kicked his ass.

Without government, who would censor the internet, criminalize plants, tax stuff made in other places, ban you from accessing healthcare you need, restrict the housing supply, bomb innocent civilians, and kidnap your friends to send to foreign prisons?

Plantations are mass graves and memorials to atrocities. They should be treated like concentration camps, because that's exactly what they are. They should be treated as such, not used as wedding venues or party sites.

If you're a #good man but need for someone you've wronged (unintentionally) to affirm that before fully apologizing or making amends or changing behavior, you're dangerous. Like an animal who is mostly harmless except when hurt or cornered.

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

Fascism is unsustainable. It is inherently built to fail, despite what its leaders want you to think.
The bigger question is not whether it will stand. It is: can we hurry its demise? Limit its danger to the vulnerable?
And just as important: what will we build after?

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million.

18F is *precisely* what Musk and team claim should exist within government. But when his team found it, they destroyed it, because it is evidence that government works well (can’t have that!), and because like Zelensky, 18F didn’t bend the knee.
