“The measure of society is how it treats its weakest members.” Attributed to Jefferson, among many people, the authorship is lost to the ages. But the sentiment is not lost on anyone with a conscience. The attack on the disabled continues in New Hampshire. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Report: New Hampshire could ban funding for programs for disabled people
It's part of an anti-DEI attack.

Well how ‘bout that? Group shat.
NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."
The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

My god. What has happened to this country?
Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

This is unconstitutional. Dangerous days.
If you’re a professor in a classroom today & you don’t mention this, I believe you’re doing your students a profound disservice. This is targeted 1st at international students, but it’s deliberately broad enough to lay groundwork for a scene Trump & Hegseth have fantasized: troops on campus.

Puzzling how so-called regular folks, blue collar “middle America” came to the conclusion that we should all be led off a cliff by elite tech bros from Silicon Valley. Is the “America First” they’ve been pining for because it seems like Trump First, or even Putin First.

Our country. Not Trump’s. Not that of the billionaires and sure as hell, not Putin’s. I refuse to believe that my fellow Americans will sit idly by for long. Trump, so desperate to bask in Putin’s shadow, has underestimated who we, the American people, are.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.
I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Worth revisiting. The film, Good Night and Good Luck. 2005. Journalist Edward R. Murrow takes on Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. Important to note, a young Roy Cohn was the lead council to the defamed McCarthy. Cohn who would later defend and mentor Trump. Where are the Murrows?

Truly stunned that Trump, so historically obsessed with public perception, would allow Musk to hold court in the Oval Office. Lumbering Musk in street clothes, black MAGA ball cap, kid in tow. A lethargic Trump slumped over his desk, like a lizard on a hot stone, mute and disengaged.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

At this moment, unelected, unqualified, unvetted persons are rifling through the nation’s most sensitive information. Musk and his marauders make Nixon’s Plumbers look like vandals.
This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
