mastodon 4.7.2Putin wants Eastern Europe, spends decades on active measures to pry the U.S. out of NATO, and cultivates useful idiots, Epstein Island Rewards™ members, and oligarch wannabes willing to sell America for scrap, while the media conflates sounding any alarm with alarmism and a third of the country praises the regime for protecting us from the threat of undocumented farm workers and whatever they deem "woke."
Join us in the fight. Let's get in good trouble. ✊️

RE: @estherschindler@hachyderm.io
I don't konw which is worse:
a. that these assholes actually believe that trans people, merely because they exist, sexualize children, or
b. that these assholes don't really give a shit but will sacrifice their constituents at the altar to score political points.
If your House rep might be on the fence with this, today is a good day to urge them to veto #HR7661.
Find your rep at https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative and you can read the full text of this nightmarish bill here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/7661/text.

@jd@mstdn.ca As an American (U.S.) I wholeheartedly support this.
Every single CEO here needs to be made painfully aware knows the effects of the #TrumpRegime on their companies, because so far they all seem perfectly willing to pay tribute (💸️) toward whatever sleazy grift he's rolled through a heap of star-spangled sprinkles, hoping we never learn how much of it ends up in his offshore accounts.
Keep it up.
#Trump has zero interest in allowing free and fair #midterm elections.
#NamingNames of #ElectionDeniers working for a federal takeover of the 2026 midterms: Kurt Olsen (lawyer), Heather Honey (DHS/election integrity), Michael Flynn (national security advisor/fucking asshole), Dan Bongino, Peter Ticktin (lawyer), Cleta Mitchell (Election Integrity Network), Tommy Robinson (UKIP, EDL), and the smug, self-assured fascist enablers at https://www.goldiis.org/nonprofit-political-organizations-dc/.
That last repost by @pixelpusher220@dmv.community is extremely well put.
I'm really not trying to be hyperbolic for the 👍️s, but I don't see any way we to break this cycle by respecting the norms and rules of a system they've so successfully rigged against us.
Seriously, can you?
If we want a "sane world" for our kids and grand kids, we're going to have to get WAY more comfortable breaking the system we** once believed in.
** at least that this former establishment Obama Democrat once believed in
*announcer voice* And now a few words from our instance admin...
Even the most mindnumbingly incurious person should realize that every dime we invest in #science and #publichealth adds a quarter to the GDP.
Every single thing the #TrumpAdministration does is designed to debilitate America, and #Putin is the only one seeing a return on his investment.
If #Kansas #SB244 doesn't violate "the Kansas Constitution’s protections for personal autonomy, privacy, equality under the law, due process, and freedom of speech,” then I don't know what does!
I'm glad to see someone quick to push back against this #fascist legislation in the courts and I'm very curious to see where the lawsuit goes.
RE: @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social
Good to see The Center for Taxpayer Rights leading the charge on this, as the #IRS is violating its own policies in service of the #TrumpRegime.
Drawing on multiple data sources which were once (for good reason) kept separate seems to be a key approach to weaponizing the government against the people.
I maintain that filing a federal #tax return this year aids the #TrumpAdministration in countless ways, and that a #TaxStrike is the collective action that the moment calls for.

True ... as long as the audience has decent alternatives.
The administration + oligarch wannabes seem to have a recipe for "foxifying" one corporate media outlet after the next.
My "wait for it" list:
1. Executive order around media/social media that "incite civil unrest."
2. Using said EO as pretext to install pro-government management at media they can't buy.
3. Using EO to cow social/newsletter platforms into requiring user identity verification and restricting content.

I'm not likely to spend money at any former #LesWexner brands. I (the member of N. T. O. & Y. behind the keyboard this morning) am old enough the young people behind the counter at Abercrombie would try to helpfully direct me to a store more suited to my aging presence. Boot Barn, maybe.
But this, at scale, seems so much more insidious. Like nation building but for an entire generation.

I'd run a poll to see if anyone is surprised by this, but I don't think we'd learn anything we don't already know.
Good analysis, quick read, and might someone encourage Robert Reich to get off of Substack?
There are better platforms that don't hand Nazis a megaphone.

Happy Wednesday! Any plans today?
If you're an American taxpayer you're paying $1,000,000,000.00 JUST TODAY to fund a #WarInIran not authorized by Congress (can't get GOP senators on the record voting for war, after all).
Like it or not, your paying for an #IllegalWar intended neither to destroy whatever remains of Iran's nuclear program (after we obliterated it a few months ago??) nor to end Iran's extremist government.

They don't pay taxes, but they use their billions to lobby for laws that keep their employees in the most economically vulnerable positions possible.
I'm all set for torches and pitchforks, but if we're not all there quite yet, let's at least quit carrying water for them.
It's time for a #TaxRevolt and a months-long #GeneralStrike.

Americans: even if you think your voice doesn't matter and all politicians are corrupt, we need to pressure our electeds like never before to impeach, convict & remove Trump for his repeated defiance of the Constitution.
They must repeal the #AUMF immediately, and invoke the #WarPowers Act to either shut this down, or to get MAGA reps, on the record, to approve the #IranWar during an election year.
CALL RIGHT T.F. NOW!
At the risk of sounding alarmist ...

Yeah, everybody likes to call everybody insane on the Internet. Time-honored tradition, I guess.
But Trump is manifestly insane, and is only now – after ALL THE COVERAGE OF BIDEN'S AGE – is the media starting to catch up.
He is absolutely hashing out this possibility of using #nuclear weapons on Iran with zero pushback from #Hegseth and possibly some from #Rubio and #Vance.
