The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

A lot of people on here keep fantasizing about the moment Trump "fires" Elon Musk because Musk has stepped out too far in front of him and I'm sure that feels good, but after watching the last Musk/Trump presser I think it's worth considering that we are essentially watching a coup via elder abuse.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Thinking today of John Sloan's cover for July 1914 issue of The Masses, showing a crowd trying to get at John D. Rockefeller Jr., with literal blood on his hands. Rockefeller was held responsible for deaths of striking miners in infamous massacre at Ludlow, Colorado guides.loc.gov/chronicling-...

Elon Musk got the ADL to defend Nazi salutes at a presidential inauguration as an "awkward gesture/roman salute."

Next, he'll have them defending putting a swastika flag in the White House because it's really just an ancient Hindu symbol for peace.

running the federal govt the same way I figure out which breaker powers the garage
the white house saying the medicaid portal will be "back online shortly" does lend some credence to the idea that they're just shutting the entire government down and manually whitelisting whatever they see becoming an immediate political threat

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945.
They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week

and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it
