An engine of wealth redistribution.
pinned post!
This is what's going to happen: Federal workers will slow things down till they're fired. The court cases will launch, take time, and ultimately be ignored by the admin. They will then overplay their hand, because they've never had to run things that actually matter before. Things will break.

But I was told by the New York Times that marriage equality was a stunning success that succeeded because of its modest political goals. Almost like the last two decades of progress were hollow assimilationism into a collapsing neoliberal order rather than actual liberation.

It's already somewhat obvious but this article makes it even *more* apparent that the goal of DOGE is to cripple the public sector's ability to lead on *any* front. To create complete dependence on the private sector.

The billionaire CEO of the third richest company on the planet gives the President an actual block of gold so his company is exempted from US Government tariffs. And the whole thing is broadcast live on TV. Anyone who can't see what is happening to this country is unsalvageable at this point.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

So, these people are white supremacists of a very specific, American kind. The idea that the right to govern belongs only to a select, racially defined group was *the* political theory of the antebellum and redeemed south. Ask who is being replaced and why that’s a problem, you’ll see it.

The. Problem. Is. Capitalism. Example 77362. Why do we continue to allow a group of weak, cowardly men who are willing to say anything, do anything, bow to anyone so long as they get to keep their gold hold power!? The private sector is incapable of displaying true leadership or strength.

Yup, and Dems need to start saying this. It's a great time to be a criminal, there's no more fed law enforcement, they're all sipping coffee cosplaying in military gear while waiting for law-abiding migrants on their way out of immigration hearings.
