Rachel Maddow sees Americans’ active resistance as key to overcoming Donald Trump’s strongman game

#Maddow not mincing words:
"...this ridiculous military dress-up pageant they put up in the streets of Minneapolis a few days ago? I mean, this is not the National Guard, this is agents from various Federal agencies, seems like a lot of them are from HSI, which is the inexplicable, not-at-all for this trained force inside the Department of Homeland Security, that they keep deploying like this, in these embarassing Banana-republic, shambolic shows of disorganized force"

No ideas, no skills: Maddow rips panicking Trump for rushing to military last resort in L.A.
BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: "The eldest son of #POTUS,
#DonaldJTrumpJr
, has made multiple trips to Serbia to try to shore up their very Trumpy president against [protests] that he resign...WHY...?? In the middle of the capital city of #Serbia, there is a ruined building [never fixed and preserved since 1999 as a national monument]...#Trump would like to tear that monument down and build a luxury hotel and apartment tower there."
Legendary #Maddow: "Active duty U.S. soldiers [thanks to #Trump EO] now have the authority to arrest and search people...on U.S. soil...Brennan Center is calling this a slippery slope, saying if soldiers are allowed to take domestic policing roles at the border, it may become easier to justify uses of the #military in the U.S. interior in the future. Our nation's founders warned against the dangers of an army turned inward."
Brief mention on the #Maddow of a protest in #charlottesville over the recent disappearance of two local house painters from the lovely historic courthouse by large anonymous men. I think I talked to them once, they were very funny. They sang Mexican ballads while they worked. https://youtu.be/D5WpL760XNI #cville #ice
BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow "A couple of years ago, DOJ accused an online #cryptocurrency company called #Binance of being basically, a supermarket for CRIME...a giant money laundering hub for terrorists and cyber criminals...at an #AbuDhabi crypto conference last December, weeks before the inauguration...[Binance's founder] Zhao mingled with #Trump son Eric..."
BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: "[President] #DonaldTrump nominee to lead the #IRS is...Just this week, two Democratic Senators on the finance committee, wrote to the IRS asking the agency to open a CRIMINAL investigation into a handful of companies that they say, have been selling tax credits that don't actually exist...Trump's choice to run the IRS has DIRECT financial ties to some of the companies implicated in this alleged scheme..."
So #Maddow, #DOGE is breaking the government, leaking information, & hurting people. Who'll prosecute?
Jeff Hauser said to @nicolesandler that DOGE should own the consequences of their harm.
https://therevolvingdoorproject.org/dogewatch/ lists their harm. @emptywheel has a list debunking DOGE lies.
CEOs know DOGE can wreck their companies but are afraid of saying it publicly. Our protests give them cover "The SHAREHOLDERS want DOGE out of computer systems.”
People dying SHOULD be enough to get the DOGE boys removed, but sadly we'll have to wait until a massive financial crisis–for those in power–accompany the deaths.

h/t to @emptywheel for her snappy, potty-mouthed quote about #ElonMusk

@nicolesandler
"Because a missed check for some people is a death sentence... when this catastrophic failure happens, and I believe it will, there's no indication that they're trying to fix things, just accelerate it.
73 million people rely on Social Security. Imagine the chaos that will come when those checks don't go out.
Rachel, it is going to be a scenario that's hard to imagine how catastrophic it will be." @alaw202 on #Maddow

@alaw202 great on #Maddow tonight about how to
contact your Reps & prepare for a disruption.
Info on how to do it here: https://digbysblog.net/2025/03/26/make-touching-social-security-deadly-again-spocko-bsky-social/
He talked to @nicolesandler about this 2 weeks ago I called my Rep at the time.
#Maddow covered the #HandsOff protests across the country Saturday, showing hundreds of great signs.
Take note #RWNJs: I only saw ONE misspelled sign.

REMEMBER "#LockHerUp"? What was the argument for that? #DonCapone said #Hillary "could not be trusted to protect our #NationalSecurity" because she was "reckless" with #TopSecret docs after A SINGLE DECLASSIFIED email was found on her phone. 
JUST THINK of all the breaches of National Security that have taken place under #DonTheCon.
No need. #Maddow has the list for you (BOOKMARK THIS).
