“We Want the Bureaucrats to Be Traumatically Affected”
ProPublica and Documented obtained videos of two speeches delivered during invitation-only annual gatherings for the Center for Renewing America, a pro-Trump...
Last October, ProPublica and @documented.net published secret recordings of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term.
"We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected," he said.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

This. Shout this from the rooftops. Add in the propaganda that tricks voters into thinking this is the American way and you’ve got the MAGA playbook.

A reminder that just because an entity removed important cultural dates does NOT mean we can't celebrate them. Google was only founded 26 years ago and we were visiting libraries and learning in class rooms long before they came to the scene. Google will not control what we learn. We Do. #resist

What can you do?
Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness.
Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up.
Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards.
Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies.
Resist. Stand with others.

Trump Accused Biden of Assorted Wrongs
No wonder the phrase “Every accusation is a confession” has taken hold
"Every accusation is a confession."
Trump-Musk have surpassed the very abuses MAGA falsely accused Biden of. They were never against these abuses—they just wanted control. Read the latest from @jenrubin.bsky.social

Just like Bezos and Musk wished, Trump neutered the National Labor Relations Board.
Now, union-busting corporations can exploit their employees with impunity.
Last I checked, that's not standing with workers the way Trump promised.

What Trump didn’t say in his inauguration speech | Bernie Sanders
The simple truth is that Trump ignored almost every major issue facing this country’s working families in his first speech
In the new Trump presidency, we have got to remain focused. We can’t panic.
No matter how many executive orders he signs or statements he issues, our goal is the same:
We must fight to create an America based on economic, social & environmental justice.

Making Censorship Real Again
The Trump administration is capitalizing on a false conspiracy of censorship to usher in the real kind
"Trump’s executive order is meant to defund research on disinformation and intimidate anyone looking to protect the truth.”
