This is the end game for the mass deportations. They know they are gouging out a huge hole in the labor force, especially in agriculture. And they intend to replace them with your kids.

After many great suggestions from librarians, this protest postcard is being printed and I should have 4,000 copies on hand in a week. I hope people in the field like the way it turned out. Thanks to everyone that gave me feedback. We made it together! I'll post a link to get copies when it's done.

If it took less than 2 months to turn the CDC into an antivaxx propaganda org - in the midst of multiple deadly vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks in the United States - then I have little faith for the integrity of our other institutions. People in the government need to stand up now or never.

Literally every Black person who comes to DC visits the NMAAHC and it’s a big source of pride among a very broad swathe of people. Censoring the work there won’t be as frictionless as people imagine.

When Trump comes for Substack hosting so many "Marxist activist" newsletters, it'll be interesting to see if they defend themselves with the same vigor they used in protecting the Nazis, antivaxxers, antisemites, and transphobes on their platform.

This is straight out to the authoritarian playbook: silence dissent by making people scared to speak up. The Democratic Party should be fighting like hell against these illegal actions by the Trump admin.

My latest: Contrary to recent warnings, the U.S. is not headed toward authoritarianism; it is already there. The distinction might seem trivial but actually holds important implications. It means the old modes of defeating incumbents no longer apply. New ones are needed instead. 🧵

And this is, again, how we know all the rhetoric from the right about protecting children is absolute bullshit, because their solution to the labor shortage due to deported migrant workers is to suspend child labor laws, so your 14 year old can take an overnight cleaning job or whatever. Horrific
