Words are key: The US 'government' has 3 branches, millions of public servants, and is made to reflect the public it serves. The 'regime' that currently occupies the WH is not, and will never, be the government. Such is the fate of an authoritarian regime.
Lest we forget, the government is us.

We spend so much time on the left trying to shame people into action, but I suspect shame only works for those of us who have empathy.
Anyway the only thing shame ever does is exhaust our mental energy.

NEW from me - NSF cancels grant scheme for social science research.
Seems the NSF quietly archived ALL calls for DDRIG grants in the SBE directorate. This is a massive blow for PhD students wanting to do cutting-edge social science research. 🏺🧪

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Why is Duffy all obsessed with how people dress? First he tells DOT we have a dress code (no socks! jeans on Friday? wow!), now he wants everybody to dress up for the airport.

What I've learned from a year under the mental load of this regime is that the waiting is the worst. It is incredibly isolating to realize the world is falling apart, and most people are just going about their usual lives.
But if you see it, welcome to sanity, thanks for sticking it out!

It's funny to see news about DOGE being shut down and wasting money. Great to see, but a reminder that real reporting takes a long time.

I know we all are suspicious, it's hard to trust the political system and members of the fascist party after all of this. If MTG wants to start an implosion of that party, though, I think it's worth cheering her on maybe?

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

After this is all over (and I believe it will all be over, hopefully soon), can we just get to a place where identity-based politics and attacks are off the table?
Like, it's a pretty simple idea: just try not to be an asshole to someone who is different from you.
