In addition to being brave and the right thing to do, Sassoon’s letter points out that the Emperor has no clothes — it demolishes the utterly fatuous, transparently corrupt excuses for dismissing the Adams case.
READ Danielle Sassoon's letter to AG Pam Bondi, via @nytimes.com:

"Rather than be rewarded, Adams's advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

media loves to cast it as a "government spending cuts" story because they cannot get off a single narrative about what one party favors (small government) versus the other (big government) and boy, are they getting this story completely fucking wrong

Spread-the-Word-Daily-Action: Dentist asked if I was stressed as I was clenching my jaw, so I shared my Elon Musk worries. She and her assistant had no idea about it. They listened and asked a lot of questions, even asking me what local group I'm involved in. We need to do this every day!

Unelected Pres Musk and VP Felon are all about the emails now. All I can say is, but Hillary!?!

Hypocrisy at its fucking best.

How is this even legal? 🤦‍♀️
Schiff: Just today we learned that some list of officers at the CIA was sent to The White House in an unclassified e-mail. 

Now, I remember when Donald Trump was always talking about Hillary's e-mails. What about this e-mail?

House Oversight Republicans spent two years subpoenaing and deposing every person who ever had a cup of coffee with Hunter Biden over the last 20 years, but now oppose a subpoena to hear from the person really running the government who hasn’t even had a confirmation hearing.

Marko Elez, an Elon Musk staffer with access to the Treasury Department’s sensitive payments system, has quit after racist and pro-eugenics posts surfaced, including one stating, ‘Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.’

Thank you! A federal judge blocked U.S. DOGE employees from altering any records of payments at the Treasury Department while she weighs a request by public interest groups for a broader injunction against their activity. Thank you, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly’s! 🙏

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

All Five Eyes partners need to presume that ALL US government IT systems are now insecure.

Similarly the EU need to treat any data interchange agreements with the US as null and void.

This includes cloud hosting on Azure, AWS and Google (not that anyone uses Google Cloud ;)
Random computers being plugged into federal networks is obviously terrifying in terms of what data they're deliberately accessing, but it's also terrifying because it implies controls are being disabled - unmanaged systems should never have access to this data. Who else has access to those systems?

President Trump may be the worst human being on the planet.

There was a plane crash last night. The investigation to determine the cause has barely begun...but he's giving a press conference blaming Obama.

What sort of human being does that?

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Power in politics is, as much as anything, the perception of power.

And as malevolent as they may be, these incompetent fools in the White House have come out of the gate looking very, very weak.

I see that the new administration has stopped the distribution of HIV drugs, something that has saved 26 million lives and started under President Bush.

I also understand the new administration is going to turn the United States into a Christian nation.

Pick one, people. You can't have both.

1. Trump's immigration crackdown is premised on the idea that the US is experiencing a massive surge in violent crime

According to Trump the crime wave is especially severe in cities
