Good god. The attempts at humiliation and dehumanization of someone exercising their rights to speech should be chilling to anyone, but the ENTHUSIASM for this is extra sickening. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Every sage who's ever spoken has pointed out the interconnectedness of all of humanity in one way or another - and it's becoming more and more apparent to people who aren't Republicans. You're not just hurting "them". You're hurting us. All of us. Including you.

Thread from last nights airport BS: (written last night & shared on masto): So yeah. Things started off as they usually do. Couldn’t check in online or at a kiosk. Got to the front desk to check in where I waited over 2 hours for them to get approval from TSA to let me through.

I do not understand this tendency among journalists to reduce every political event to a prediction about whether it will be a lasting news cycle. On the merits, we have a billionaire who helped a fascist get into power and now believes he can dictate policy. That matters! A lot!

A former “friend” told me he cared for me & wanted me to have everything I needed… but that it was time I realize I’m a net negative in society. He referenced my “free surgeries”, countless ER trips & how the system was artificially extending my life. 🧵

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

I spent five weeks talking to federal workers about knowledge loss and brain drain across the federal government, and its implications, both right now and for decades to come. Their stories are frightening, but I think it's important to know what we're facing: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
