the thing about “democrats should take popular cultural positions” is that what constitutes popular is a function of an interaction between the public and elites. if a faction of elites start screaming about a vulnerable minority and another faction says they have a point, this shapes the public.
In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular."
"You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.
Teamsters President Sean O'Brien downplays Trump's reckless firings of federal workers: "We don't want to see anybody losing their jobs, but he thinks he's within his right."

None of this is about "efficiency."
Mass firings occurred at the CFPB this week — one of the most efficient federal agencies.
The goal here is to gut the government entirely and remove any obstacles to the continued consolidation of wealth and power by the oligarchs.

Blanket firing of all probationary employees regardless of skill, combined w the deferred resignation program is the opposite of "merit." The deferred resignation program is most likely to attract the highest value employees who have lucrative private sector offers and will be hardest to replace.

Retirees who voted for Trump, does this posting comfort you that Musk and his little bros have any respect for your age and contributions?

So Musk has pampered the egos of young men who are not mature enough to understand the enormity of consequence of what he is getting them to do. Clearly they are not chessplayers.

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!

unfortunately for these folks the odds are that they aren’t going to go after violent criminals at all — too hard — and going to go exclusively over the easiest targets, which are law abiding workers
"No one ever thought that this would happen. I thought that the administration was going after violent criminals, but these people are innocent, honest, hardworking people. These are human beings." www.inquirer.com/news/philade...
ICE raided his family’s North Philly car wash. Here is Jeffrey Lee’s account of what happened.
"They weren’t rude or anything, but they basically just told me 'We are here to take some illegals. If you don’t hear from us then don’t worry about it,'" said the car wash owner.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

There was a time that imposing a tax on certain imported goods would result in Americans rising up against their rulers. These days the rulers just have to lie to them about what a tariff is and they cheer the tax they're forced to pay.
