#boycott corporate America until the actively stand for separation of powers, checks and balances, our Constitution, and against this auto-coup in progress!
Hank, you've got a platform, it's time to use it. You've started with the @standupforscience.bsky.social posts, but it's got to be more. Americans need to stand up and be prepared to have some big feelings if you want to protect the American ideal. Elbows up.
It’s important on days like these to remember, though our enemy is ruthless and powerful, they are also unbelievably stupid, self obsessed, uncurious and incapable of personal reflection.
John Mulaney's "horse in the hospital" nails it perfectly. Except now he's on the board of directors of all hospitals and he's trying fire all the doctors and replace them with people who have WebMD on their phone
Please, don't just say it is Chaos for chaos's sake.
This is a plan.
I am alluding the same process in 1933 Germany.
Civil unrest (focal point, Reichstag was burned) led to specific rights being given to Hitler.
The Enabling Act made it law.
Hitler then ruled, legally, as the sole leader.
There is a grand plan. They want a white nationalist ethnostate with no economic regulation where Billionaire CEOs like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel can have their own little fiefdoms
If you look at how authoritarians consolidate power, they don't piss off civil servants, veterans, and other potential allies within weeks. They focus on their political enemies/scapegoats and systematically compromise everyone else.
Putin spends 6% of Russia's budget just on payments to families of dead soldiers/benefits to wounded veterans. This isn't because he's a good dude, but because he needs to buy their loyalty to stay in power.
Putin is evil, but not dumb. I can't say that for Trump and Musk.
The worst part is checking conservative social media and seeing how many Americans are cheering on the insanity. The only solution is a large asteroid to annihilate the planet and put us all out of our misery...
That’s what I keep getting to. We want to be clever and explain and justify the current moment but none of it is worth the effort required to put it to words. We’re just stuck here.
I hearken back to a Super Dave Osborne line when he was on The Man Show - "I used to think this was a dumb fucking idea. Now I'm not sure it's an idea. It's just dumb fucking."
And its not just ruining things for america.. a good saying my friend here in britain said recently was "when america sneezes everyone else catches a cold" and it is so true.. the things he is doing is having massive impacts in britain.. i'm also losing money out of my investment savings account
Hank! There is a time and a place for swearing. It’s when you either hit your body part with some sort of heavy tool, or when you have the the opportunity to thank JD Vance in person on specific request from him… for some reason. They are the only 2 times you can swear.
Let this be a lesson for everyone who "didn't want to get political" from 2015-present. Oh would you fucking look at that, politics didn't give a shit about your polite sensibilities and came to your house with a can of kerosene and a lighter.
I watched news and then went to the doctor today, my BP was off the charts . No speech tonight for me. It’s going to be horrible. Thanks for your posts!
"and the train went 'fuck-fuck-fuckity-fuck.' 'What's wrong?' Said Bubbles the rabbit, 'why so glum?' Henry the train just rolled his eyes and said, 'oh, you wouldn't understand, you're a cat.' Bubbles answered: 'I'm a rabbit.' Henry the train responded: 'whatever.' "
...I was hoping for some classic Hank Green wisdom, possibly something Mr. Rogers-esque, but it ended with exactly the thing I've been saying in my head for weeks. Fucking fuckity fuckfuck fucking FUCK.
Thank you ❤️
Could you spread the word to boycott/tariff the shit out of us, but hold off on cutting power as long as you can (while we keep fighting here)? $ is what talks to these goons, and we can share/grow food/etc, but if electricity fails people who need med equipment will die. (In MI here)
I'm in full agreement with you. Doesn't sound like we're shutting off power, but we are tariffing it. It's not ideal, but it's a tricky situation we're in.
Only six weeks into fixing all the fuckups done by Democrats. You're looking more stupid as a party the more you fight DOGE. ONLY THE GRIFTERS AND IDIOTS FIGHT WHAT'S HAPPENING.
All of these attacks are pushed by a fanatic Evangelical right that is one sided hell bent on expelling the "Liberals. DOGE is a trojan horse to push them out from the state and weaken collaboration with EU and UN. This is a reformation with heavy cost.
Hank, there's a drinking game at tonight's State of the Union speech. Every time Trump blames Biden, viewers must drink half a teaspoon of alcohol. Warning: Doctors are worried about widespread alcohol poisoning.

I've been having nightmares that make me glad I stopped watching Handmaid's Tale partway thru season 1. They could be much more vivid and detailed than they are already, so thanks to Past Me for that decision.
In a way, those of us living in Montana have already had a small-ish taste of what happens when you mix private sector business practices into government. Fortunately, our dictator doesn’t have a Musk.
You're right, but people still can't you hear you, think it only makes a little difference...
But they are WRONG. Trump hates us for not loving him, Putin's aim is to destroy us completely "from the inside" - that means every single order is for what is WORST for us, not what is best for us.
Yeah we knew that before the election, I think that's kind of a big open secret that's been around since his prior term. It's self-inflicted because we collectively, those who were registered to vote in the US, voted him in anyway. Individually, I did not, but my state did, so here we are.
The words you are putting together, do not make sense to me given the context. I'm stating, I observed a car crash between a family wagon and a semi. Lives were lost. I knew lives would be lost when I saw the car headed to the truck. 100kph is like ~62mph
But the emphasis contextually was on the pre conceived notion not your eyes or what was going on in front of those eyes. Please don’t use guilt to lie.

These are serious weaknesses.
Successful revolutions have been built on less.
But this is just burning everything down because no one is there to stop you.
This is a plan.

Back to the giant dumpster fire that is today--the horrors persist, but so do I.
fuckity fuck fuck

the 25% who are board with this will learn of their own stupidity, and hopefully get angry enough to go take out their former pals..

ANd while sure, their crazy churches may long to ally with Putin too, Soviet/Russian agents have told us Trump has been an asset since the 80s.
(No, I don't actually believe you are responsible for giving people reasons to be optimistic or feel good about themselves. We're all human.)
At least you feel slightly better after saying it
And side note, fuckery autocorrected to "tucker" 😂😂😂 yeah fuck him too
#stateoftheunion #trump
It didn’t work.
Trump is a russian asset.
This is being done to you.
But they are WRONG. Trump hates us for not loving him, Putin's aim is to destroy us completely "from the inside" - that means every single order is for what is WORST for us, not what is best for us.
Literally just speaking about an experience I had. Please do not call me silly or a liar.
The pit in my stomach feels the same today
Once you put "ety" at the end of something it sounds at least a little bit fun, which as I'm sure we all agree this is not
My little MT town ain’t losing its library on our watch. No matter what an authoritarian failed casino developer does.
Fuck fuck shit fuck fucking shit help
