It should be a crime to wait for a spot at the grocery parking lot and it should be enforceable by citizens if they have read through a powerpoint

Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.*
The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so:

The absolute first thing Democrats Must Do if/when they hold power again is restore as much of the funding/agencies illegally dismantled & cancelled by these unprecedented criminals as possible & then put Musk & everyone else involved in jail for the rest of their lives.

Congrats to everyone who covered the obviously bad faith, unprecedentedly illegal, & wildly unconstitutional data theft & dismantling of the federal government by a billionaire criminal Nazi & his henchmen as a legitimate process of “government efficiency.” Truly, well done.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law.

*one DOGE faction was planning the future of the US government at a venture capital firm
*illegally communicating on Signal to avoid transparency laws was deeply embedded into organizational culture to be taken for granted

For the better part of a decade I've been telling ppl that in an ideal world, Trump would have zero power but we'd always be able to hear from him. Maybe every social account would auto friend him like MySpace Tom. Or maybe he's an authorized sender for wireless emergency alerts
once again joining the many people who have observed how much of a world-historical problem it is that Trump is so fucking funny
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
MAMDANI: I've spoken about--
TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

It's so frustrating that we almost exclusively talk about college as job training. Learning is itself a laudable end
Thinking a lot lately about the simple fact that college allows people to spend about 15 weeks immersed in a disciplinary conversation with an expert in that field. And what a special thing that is.

Trump: "They saw a lot of unbelievable activity at the McDonald's next to the base where they take off. The McDonald's was doing -- right? -- 5 times, they were going crazy. So they say 'there's something going on over there.' The biggest activity that McDonald's had ever had. It was a nice story."
