My prognostications for where we would be in 4 years may turn out to be a best-case-scenario fantasy.

This is always true of MAGA. It's not just you. Me too. It's not just that there's no bottom. It's that most of us don't spend time lurking in the deep. Musk and Trump are the Balrog.

This is why I've encouraged folks in my circles to develop "get out" and "hunker down" plans. Those plans often go to shit when chaos ensues, but it's better than having no concept for what you will do when ttump starts sending humvees and masked soldiers into US cities, and encourages the Good Germans to report-on and harass their neighbors, friends, and family.

I spent a decent part of the morning organizing and adding to my go-bag (also live in a nature disaster prone area). On Wednesday, I take part 1 of 3 tests for Canadian licensure. Multiple people in my department have initiated moves to Canada, with one already set for April/May. Another worked in New Zealand a few years after grad school, and is returning, post haste. Those places are in no manner immune to maga chaos and cruelty, but they currently have functioning societies, safety nets, and politics that disagree over policy, not which human life is valuable and which isn't.

I've been surprised only by the rapid pace of the coup but probably shouldn't have been. Pubs have been preparing for this for four years and they're playing for keeps this time.

“… Three of the sources said the DOGE personnel wanted to gain access to security systems and personnel files. Two of those sources said also they wanted access to classified information.

USAID Director of Security John Voorhees and his deputy are the latest officials who have been put on leave amid fears that the agency is being intentionally dismantled by the Trump administration. Rumors are swirling that President Donald Trump intends to sign an executive order to fold USAID into the US State Department – a move that Democratic lawmakers say is illegal.

… Around 60 senior USAID staff were put on leave last week on accusations of attempting to circumvent the executive order on foreign aid. Another senior official was put on leave for trying to reverse that move after finding no evidence of wrongdoing.

One source said the entire USAID public affairs office was put on leave and locked out of their systems.“

I hope more government employees fight back too.

I would love to be a fly on the wall in the senate office building right now. I bet there are some epic arguments happening on the regular. Dems have no power to do much of anything, but if I were one, I’d be raking my Pub colleagues over the coals for letting this happen.

I am guessing the GOP is keeping their mouth shut so when the arrests happen, they aren't locked up like the Democratic Senators will.

We are about 2-3 steps away from that at this point. Trump and Elon know they have already seized control of the country where it matters.

That may be right. But that just means they’d be standing there with their mouths shut while I’m yelling at them about what pathetic sell-out stooges they are.

He is just out there posting wild claims and using his (likely unlawful) seizure of government computer systems, with everyone else locked out, to claim support these conspiracy theories
 
Musk and Mike Flynn (!!!!!!) are shutting down payments to Lutheran Family Services. In North Carolina, LFS handles a lot of foster care. LFS is the largest employer in South Dakota, including assisted living facilities.

I hadn't even considered the disinformation/propaganda opportunities for fElon with his illegal takeover of various government departments. This is so dangerous.

So everyone -- including the media -- needs to have a policy that Elon Musk is lying every time he opens his mouth.

As with most things, X would die if Europe, Canada and Mexico were to ban it. Please, Europeans, bail us out. We did it for you, twice. And we even helped you rebuild.

With Tesla's brand in the US in the dumps and EV credits being pummeled, Elon could be utterly destroyed if world governments were to put their minds to it.
 
Someone needs to sue his ass for defamation. A lot of people were defamed today alone. We are going to need a legal defense fund for people slandered by that piece of shit.
