This Canadian sociological analysis reveals how the systematic dismantling of institutions creates a "legitimation crisis"—making people lose faith in government itself rather than those sabotaging it. When public services fail, private companies profit.

Ranking Member on Oversight Rep. Garcia: Jamie Raskin was one of my heroes coming into Congress. And to be able to take on this role as the lead Democrat on this committee—well, we are going to hold Donald Trump and his administration accountable.

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

“Two Week” Trump is trying to get rid of holidays for working class people.
He’s cost the US economy trillions of dollars in losses in the last 6 months and financially ruined millions of hardworking families. #3E #generalstrike

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.
But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

The people who are putting on this "censorship industrial complex" hearing don't give a shit about that. They are still complaining they couldn't write slurs on Twitter for like six months once.

Just to point out:
Some of the services being cut here are about the values we expect of government. Hard to have transparency if you fire all FOIA staff.

Here's a running list I've been sent of divisions losing staff. Not comprehensive; admin has not been transparent about who/what divisions they're spiking.
Layoffs include those in HIV/STD work, blood disorders, Office on Smoking and Health (eliminated entirely), work on miner’s safety (eliminated)
