The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…
“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

Anyone have that sinking feeling happening?

it's better and worse than it sounds. They are crappy rules and are non-specific. The question is, can they specify the specific outputs in the terms to get around it? It is in keeping with the stance of this court and isn't expansive, but it does narrow the regulators.

What's the end-game? Let's assume it's all intentional and tarriffs and government dysfunction and economic collapse is exactly what was wanted. Why? What's in it for them?

Trump’s Titushky
Freelance thuggery is now part of American politics.
“Aspiring authoritarians sometimes rely on thugs willing to do violence while denying any link to politicians. In the 2010s in Ukraine, these men were called Titushky. Today, the United States has its own Titushky: the Proud Boys,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes:

House Republican Proposes $250 Bill and You’ll Never Guess Who He Wants on It
The congressman said he had drafted legislation for a $250 bill that would serve Americans savaged by years of "Bidenflation" and honor Trump at the same time.
These peolpe and their golden jesus. Ugh. I still don't want to live in a theocracy, but especially not whatever church this is. I'm on board with this, though, as long as it's a posthumus assertion that oligarchs and furherers are not welcomed here any more.

RIP, WaPo. Just the saddest screenshots to get. An absolute abandonment of the principles of accountability of the powerful, justice, democracy, human rights, and accurate information that previously animated the section in favor of a white male billionaire’s self-interested agenda.

This Week In The Big Picture
Last night, the GOP-led House passed a budget “blueprint” that aims to extend $4.5 trillion in tax breaks, with the lion’s share to the uber-wealthy.
In tomorrow’s piece, Jay Kuo will dive into the details of the GOP's recently adopted draconian budget resolution. And yesterday, Todd Beeton looked at budget director Russell Vought and explored the roots of his theory of an all-powerful president. Don't miss either piece from The Big Picture!

Sanders gets it. Everyone should be out on the road like it's a campaign, because it is. It's no more or less an election season than any future election. We're in deep trouble in the US, let's start acting like it! www.commondreams.org
