W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

We see what’s happening with our own eyes. A land ruled by fear is not the land of the free.

This is absolutely monstrous and far too similar to another time in history people were forced to another country, their belongings taken, and heads shaved. This has to stop!

Here's an expert saying that "constitutional crisis" isn't the right term because it doesn't go far enough. "The president is asserting dictatorial power and ‘constitutional crisis’ doesn’t capture the gravity of the situation.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...

So ICE has effectively disappeared a student for protesting Israel's genocide, separating him from his 8 month pregnant wife. Pure fascism

It’s just fucking corruption. It’s just capture of spending to line his pockets. Crony spending lining the pockets of glorious ruler’s buddies is the hallmark of any strongman authoritarian government and ours is no exception.

All of this. And you can push back against these attacks while doing other things. I’m a trans person and 95% of my words are about natsec, space, or my kids’ latest Minecraft obsession. Also, fail to defend us, you give them more power that they will use elsewhere against people you value more.

The acceleration of anti-trans attacks isn't what scares me most at the moment. What scares me most are non-trans people who believe the GOP will stop at the military ban and passports and gender-affirming care for youth. Nothing could be further from the truth. (thread)

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

In the last election, one candidate was proposing coercive restrictions on personal liberty and replacing free trade and free markets with heavy tariffs and authoritarian favoritism. The other was Kamala Harris. Bezos personally killed an endorsement of Harris and celebrated at Trump’s inauguration.

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.
