Donald Trump doesn't give two fucks about norms. Neither should Democrats. We need a leader, we need coordination, we need to fight back. But most of all, we need to stop listening to consultants from 1992. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Soon it will be too late. Congress must act. Republicans deserve relentless protests and demands for their acquiescence to this man solidifying power to overrun our democracy.
So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

With the attacks against DEIA being readied by DOJ, don’t forget that Trump’s judicial nominees almost always demurred when asked in their confirmation hearings whether Brown v. Board was wrongly decided. In case you are wondering where the anticipated endpoint is

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.
The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.
What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

New — USAID staff received an email just a few minutes ago letting them know HQ would be closed to all personnel Monday. It’s likely some employees will miss the overnight email, show up and be turned away.
It was sent by Gavin Kliger, one of the young guys at DOGE doing Musk’s bidding.
