Definitely this.
"DOGE is eliminating the government's tape backups because they're too stupid to know why they're important" is the generous interpretation, when what they might actually be doing is stealing all the money and trying to destroy the records of them doing so.

#JewishFederations applaud the House for passing the DETERRENT Act and for rejecting anti-Israel amendments that sought to undermine this legislation.

Republicans are helping banks rip people off and no one should be surprised. But if you don’t want this to pass in the House, call your member and tell them to put the interest of people over banks.

The Trump regime sees the American people as its primary adversary, put bluntly.
One of the most revealing parts of the signal group chat fiasco is that all of these top-level admin folks take secrecy *from government record keeping* more seriously actual OPSEC

*a guy on the highway cuts me off so I look away from the road to navigate menus to try to type “1337” (gamer reference) to open my glovebox; I drift into oncoming traffic and collide with a Boar’s Head® delivery truck, giving my burning wreck the savory aroma of PitCraft® Slow Smoked Turkey Breast*
way funnier knowing in any emergency situation she'd have to be clicking through a bunch of submenus to even open the glovebox

I find this to be not compelling at all, personally, and it really more than anything sounds like the same old focused-group, designed to not offend anyone bullshit. we're gonna build hospitals! biden ran this exact playbook and did a big infrastructure bill!
The path back to power for the Democratic Party is to be the party that gets shit done.

5) Universal Basic Income is also a necessity.
Things COVID has proven:

1) The job you were told couldn’t be done remotely, can be done remotely.

2) Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn’t want them to.

3) Internet is a utility and not a luxury.

4) Universal healthcare is a necessity.

Rather than go out and protest, have you considered simply convincing your Fox-addled grandfather that he's wrong? That'll surely take about 2 hours max
30,000 people (mostly white) showed up to see Bernie and AOC. Now imagine if that 30,000 dealt with their MAGA-loving family and friends? What these people continue to fail to understand is being out in the streets is not where they are most needed. They always confuse performance with action.

This is certainly "mask off", I would say.
According to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, Gov. Hochul has four main priorities she's pushing for in budget talks:
- Mask ban
- Discovery reform changes
- Involuntary commitment
- Bell to bell cellphone ban in schools

This is the logic behind historical Jewish quotas, trans-exclusionary rules in sports, the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, and the anti-DEI (read: anti-Black) push in workplaces: life is zero-sum, white Christian men deserve it all, and anyone else succeeding is a failure of the natural order
"Last week, Vance said foreign students at elite U.S. universities are 'not just bad for national security,' but also 'bad for the American dream, for American kids who want to go to a nice university but can’t because their spot was taken by a foreign student.'"

Universities are caving to Trump with a stunning speed and scope
Some of the nation’s oldest and wealthiest institutions are swiftly bending to President Donald Trump, who is acting on longstanding conservative criticisms of universities as elitist and progressive.

Honestly this is the whole thing. While there are some professional bigots who will never change, I truly think a ton of everyday people who have been brainwashed by the hate campaign against trans folks would stop after meeting and learning from real trans folks. That's why they wanna silence us.

This is the law “best known for its role in Japanese internment” per the Brennan Center.

It just gets worse and worse, day by day.
BREAKING via CNN:

“The Trump administration is expected to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a sweeping wartime authority, in the coming days.

The move is designed to speed up the president’s mass deportation pledge.”

It's a little bit funny that the party that told us Democracy is on the Ballot, that 1/6 was the worst thing that could ever happen, that Trump wants to be a dictator, and on and on, can't even fully decide whether it should oppose that person's attempt to dissolve the government

Just sitting here reminding everyone that last year when I represented antigenocide protesters and begged and pleaded with everyone to stop calling my clients Hamas because it was wrong and dangerous...everyone then called ME Hamas
This is who they want to portray as an agent of Hamas.

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic
RFK Jr on the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause."
