In response to Trump and his press secretary saying that they know what caused the plane crash because of "common sense".

let’s fight common sense with common sense. The two tragic aircraft accidents happened after the new administration made their firing and cuts. Common sense is that they are a cause. There were no accidents like this for years, until now.

It is common sense that the purges of the inspector generals, prosecutors and at the FBI are because they want to not have their crimes revealed. That’s common sense.

That the want to stop DEI and Black History Month is because they want a white nationalist government and to divide us. That’s common sense.

That they put tariffs on our allies is because they want to destroy their economies and that helps our enemies is common sense.

That they shut down the CDC and NIH and put an anti-vaxer in charge is because they want us to get sick and die. That’s common sense.

That they want to stop public education and ban books is because they want an uneducated public. That’s common sense.

That they stop FEMA is because they want people hurt by natural disasters to lose their properties so that they can come in and get it cheap. That’s common sense.

That they cal the press the enemy is because they don’t want people to know the truth. That’s common sense.

That a white nationalist loyalist is it in charge of the military is because they intend to use it on the people who protest. That’s common sense.

That they stop foreign aid is because they will let our enemies take over those areas. That’s common sense.

That they want to move the Palestinians out of Gaza is because they want that land. That’s common sense.

That the inauguration was moved in doors is because they knew there would be a lousy turnout. That’s common sense.

That the inauguration was a celebration of the billionaires and not the people is because those are the people the government is for. That’s common sense.

That the cabinet is made up of billionaires and few experts is because the government is meant for them. That’s common sense.

That Musk is giving a Nazi salute is because he is appealing g to fellow Nazis. That’s common sense.

That they are pushing out career civil servants and to put in loyalists is because they want a government that will do their bidding. That’s common sense.

That they say they want Greenland and the Panama Canal for national security reasons is because they intend to take it. That’s common sense.

I am stopping here.

This shitshow is in full flow.

..and their response? ‘So….?’.

For some reason, this litany evokes in me a feeling of calm and inner stability...Thank you...I have been listening for the past 3 weeks to Anne Applebaum's book Gulag, in an attempt to toughen up psychologically...It is to some extent working...

I am waiting for the personal militia to start getting violent - Oathkeepers and Proud boys -- it is going to get much worse

I also think this is probable. History again provides clues. How many autocrats have had a private guard, a king's guard, an SS, or a revolutionary guard? Many. It might not succeed, but at some point Trump will attempt to mobilize and deploy his armed supporters. It will come to this.

The danger is that there will be no government forces to stop them.

I don't like this movie.

Seeing this list is sobering. Keep it up, Zeteo! If only the dems had kept such a list and in the 4 years of Biden's administration taken action so we would never have to relive this nightmare again. We're living in a dystopian sci-fi thriller where an orange bacteria attacks the ship and is neautralized, only for the sequel to have the bacteria come back after learning the antidote, nastier and more vindictive than before.

The Project 2025 document was available online for many months; few people bothered to read it or take it seriously. The Nation and The New Republic featured cover stories about the threats.

So did Zeteo, with many articles, interviews and videos about it, including: https://zeteo.com/p/project-2025-everything-you-need

Yes, that's true. Thank you. Precisely why I'm a subscriber.

Musk also used two people, a 21-year old and a 19-year old, to design the system to send out the emails to all civil servants. Obviously, they weren't up to the task because now those same employees are being bombarded by outsiders sending them all sorts of spam, including pornography. Incompetence using incompetent people to destroy government.

It’s a hostile takeover! Please continue recording and updating this list. It’s gobsmacking, horrifying !

I have been witnessing the total destruction of Palestine/Gaza in the last15 months primarily with the help and complicity of my country, the USA. I will be watching the much greater decay and destruction of my country, the USA, in the next four years.  We all owe these to Joenocide Biden for making  these catastrophes possible.

I agree except that USA's complicity in this genocide started much further back. "The Hundred Years' War on Palestine" documents USA responsibility for at least 50 years. Yes Genocide Joe excelled, but he'll be trumped (by this or the next) if there's a buck in it for oligarchs of the Empire. Yes you'll see much greater decay, as Trump, the product of decades of decay, takes the Empire down the gurgler. Unfortunately, I'm in one of those (stupidly) loyal countries tied to the USA, so we'll be dragged down as you sink.

Yes, could not agree more.

Thanks but not thanks to Joenocide Biden that has made this possible

All very predictable to anyone who has a grasp of how power functions. This is a takeover of our government and society. There will be much more to come, and it will be cruel and hurtful and designed to make us believe it's all inevitable.

Special thanks to the Uncommitted who thought they were helping Gaza, somehow. Next time they want to "assuage their souls" they should do it in a way that actually helps and doesn't bring down a country. May they all get "gently caressed" by one of the 1,500 J6ers they helped get pardoned.

I can still enjoy the deportations and job losses at least. Back to r/LeopardsAteMyFace/ for me!

Great work! Is it possible to organize these excellent lists by category headings that could be shared with various constituents ? For example, “Illegal Acts” rather than just listed by dates. Or maybe a weekly spreadsheet with links for the categories. Or categories as headlines linked to the narratives so you see the list of items first. We need shortcuts to communicate this massive disaster.
