2nd try here on Bluesky; my former & just-a-couple-of-weeks-old account was out of the blue taken down. Barely had time to see they'd concluded I was a spammer. Happened RIGHT after liking & replying on the pic of a giraffe baby. Same that I aim to refind!

Now is a great time to remember that facial recognition software is far more easily fooled by sunglasses than by face masks. Totally unrelated: Sunglasses, now that I think about them, are probably really useful in Los Angeles at this time of year. Ijs. No reason.

So do we get why I was banned from speaking about Pinochet at the Naval Academy now?

It has begun.

🌈PLEASE SHARE!!!!!!!! What better way to celebrate pride than telling these fake Christian, fake patriot, Russian pawn nazl fvcks to kick rocks. Come stand with me. You’ll be surrounded by allies who are fighting for and with you every day. We will NOT go backwards.

I say again, NOTHING in Donald Trump’s life has ever been “Big and Beautiful.” NOTHING.

🔥 Corporate backlash is hitting hard. Big-name companies like McDonald’s, Oracle, Morgan Stanley, and Microsoft are pulling their legal business from firms that cut backroom deals with the Trump administration. Why? Because these firms caved under political pressure—and it’s costing them, big time.

This needs to happen in every neighborhood in America

Consent decrees save lives. They protect rights. They hold systems accountable. I alongside @repsummerlee.bsky.social and Rep. Lucy McBath are leading the charge demanding the DOJ reinstate these decrees—because our communities deserve more than thoughts and prayers.

“There are only two kinds of society in which armed agents of the government routinely conceal their identities: (1) Lawless failed states… (2) Authoritarian states… Stable democracies do not allow agents of the state to operate under cover of concealment.” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-secret...

I am furiously, flamingly, incandescently, *supernova-levels* of angry right now. Trump is trying to kill NASA science. And hoo boy, do I have something to say about it. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/trump-thre... 🔭 🧪

Trump calls it “gold-standard science.” But what he’s proposing is fool’s gold - shiny rhetoric hiding the rot of political interference in scientific endeavors, in the pursuit of his ideological agenda. Read the WaPo article featuring our Open Letter here: www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity. Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities! 🚨(202) 224-3121

It took me a while, but I can now see a purpose in speaking to the discussion of my departure from Yale for the University of Toronto. Here I address four public framings of last year’s move that arose in recent weeks, which tell us something of our present moment snyder.substack.com/p/last-years...

Wow. Just wow.

if it takes years, has to be consequences for all these people, and even more for those who gave the orders.

“We are watching a systematic starvation of 2 million people. A live-streamed genocide & the world's silence is deadly. That is why we have to keep trying everything we can, even if the odds are against us.” Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg shares moments from the Madleen.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

For four long years I was told not to call what’s coming our way fascism but here we are:

The Trump administration has just canceled a nearly $600 million contract with Moderna that was meant to develop a bird flu vaccine.

The people making healthcare decisions in this admin haven’t cared for patients in a very very long time (or they never did in the first place). It’s easy to take an eraser to important investments when you won’t have to deal with the consequences.
