  • Trump offers federal workers a chance to resign if they don’t want to return to the office

  • This whole week has been fucking bonkers, I'll tell you what. It's Project 2025 in full fucking swing; the entire country is off Medicaid (or maybe not); all grant money is frozen (or maybe not); half the populace is to be deported (or maybe not)c and now this. Or maybe not. It'll obviously be challenged in the courts.

    The true essence of a dictatorship is in fact not its regularity but its unpredictability and caprice; those who live under it must never be able to relax, must never be quite sure if they have followed the rules correctly or not.

  • The first step to falling for the propaganda is believing that you're immune to the propaganda.

  • Someone in another thread (maybe on Reddit, I don't remember) posited that this is a direct consequence of America's notion of individualism and I haven't been able to get that out of my head since.

    It's a slippery slope from individualism to the fear of the Other.

  • Trump picks Fox News host and Army National Guard veteran Pete Hegseth for defense secretary

    Jump

  • "I confess, I did not know who Pete Hegseth was until about 20 minutes ago," Smith told reporters.

    "He does not seem to have much of a detailed background in [Department of Defense] policy. To the extent he’s worked on any of that stuff, it has been on veterans policy, not on DoD issues. So the lack of experience is concerning," Smith said.

    “Now I have not heard what his plans are, so we will see what his plans are,” he added. “But it was surprising and is concerning, just given that lack of experience. You know, the Pentagon, biggest bureaucracy in the world. It’s a hard thing to run, so I think it’s going to be a challenge."

  • I've read, oh, a dozen 'pretty simple' explanations that claimed to explain what has happened. All of them had merits.

    I don't believe things are 'pretty simple' anymore.
