A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

Listen to this segment. They *entrapped* Mayor Baraka and someone explicitly told ICE to arrest him, an American citizen standing on public ground, in front of sitting members of Congress who tried to stop it. This was already very bad and is now holy shit bad.
Trump illegally declares that he wants all federal funding for PBS to be cut (and for public donations to also somehow be eliminated)…

This should be the top story in Axios’s morning read. But it isn’t. It’s the FIFTH top story.

Japan's Minister of Foreign Affairs Iwaya: "What the United States is saying is completely unreasonable, their logic is all over the place and there's no consistency at all. However when Japan negotiates with (Trump)... it's akin to being extorted by a delinquent"

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
Haha ok, yeah that’s not fair to them either! 😂

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.

This bill gives Trump and Musk the power to dismantle the U.S. government.
When are Americans going out into the streets?

Sure…just sit back and let everyone else do all the work. Don’t even offer to help in any way, shape or form. 👍
I’m all for it. But one day? Ain’t gonna change nothing.
Americans need intensive, peaceful, non-violent SUSTAINED protests.
Like those of the 60s. Those being protested against need to feel the pain.
Until this happens, absolutely nothing will change.
They don’t care if you see them. How many Americans do you see in the streets protesting any of this? It’s going to get a lot worse until Americans get angry enough to physically do something about it. And by then, it’ll be too late.
Elon Musk has called Social Security "a Ponzi scheme." He wants to "eliminate" it, he says.
As my friend @petebuttigieg.bsky.social put it, "They are breaking Social Security, because they do not like Social Security."
I will be fighting like hell to stop them. We need to keep the pressure up.
We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself.
SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then.
Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.
We’ve reached full-peak corruption. And the masses stay silent…..
