That any of us even feel a choice in avoiding the bad news in these moments is possible shows the subtle and insidious ways privilege works. It allows us to have urgency as an option, where for others it is a necessity.

Just to be clear: the President has mobilized the Marines on American soil because people are protesting masked, secret police kidnapping people with no due process and shipping them to foreign death camps.

It’s not a misunderstanding or an oversight.

That is all it is.

There is no other side.

U.S. Border Patrol detained a U.S. citizen with learning disabilities in New Mexico for 10 days after he approached an immigration officer asking for help after a medical episode. Border agents forced the 19-year-old, who cannot read, to sign a transcript of his arrest he says was false.

RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social issued the following statement on VA's plans to cut 83,000 critical staff, threatening healthcare and benefits for millions of veterans. These cuts would roll back the progress of the PACT Act and abandon those exposed to toxic substances.

I strongly oppose the Trump administration plan to fire 80,000 employees – many of whom are veterans – from the VA.

These employees worked tirelessly to adjudicate millions of PACT claims for veterans impacted by toxic chemicals.

This blatant disrespect of our veterans is shameful.

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists.

So much for "drain the swamp."

This is GOOD: "Several Trump-appointed agency leaders urged fed workers not 2comply w/Elon Musk’s order 2summarize their accomplishments 4the past week or be removed from their positions..."

I know a judge who told her clerk not to respond. YES. Such BS. Glad that AGs challenging DOGE's existance.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

A navigator on large merchant ships told me this morning that the NOAA solar position calendar he regularly uses to compare against his compass is now down.

Musk is putting shipping at risk.

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.

It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.

Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.

Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people passed $2 trillion last year.

12 people. $2 trillion.

Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024.

Our problem isn’t an issue of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.
