🧵 Masha Gessen, who lived under Russia’s secret police, is sounding the alarm: the U.S. is now echoing those same authoritarian patterns. Raids, surveillance, fear tactics—it’s not theoretical anymore. We are watching a police state take root in real time. #OnYourSide @mashagessen.bsky.social

I appreciate the artful way @lizmoorebooks.bsky.social wove the pronunciation of this character’s name into the text.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if a US exchange student in a foreign country (say, Turkey?) was imprisoned for six weeks because they wrote an op-ed in the student newspaper it would be a huge domestic story and an international incident.

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

This is good news. But reporters, please stop just repeating that this task force has anything to do with stopping antisemitism. It is about closing universities and about fomenting antisemitism. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

On hold with the Florida Department of Commerce. Entering “Do I stay on hold to see exactly how long this is gonna take or hang up in anger and try another day?” territory. Any bets?

They’re not spoiled. They get exactly what they deserve.

Yep

I wish I lived in a caring, thoughtful country where politics wasn't about winning an election next year, but helping our citizens this year.

Actually, quite flattering.

Guess I’m not getting the mail today… or tomorrow.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Exactly, Stephen.
