Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

In 2017, centrists and liberals told antifascist activists that the institutions would hold and the State would preserve basic democratic rights. Now the country is being hollowed out by literal billionaires making Hitler salutes. This should be on the cover of every newspaper.

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

This is all so critical to understanding the moment we are in. As they say, and I often remind my students, history may not repeat itself, but it rhymes. And if you don't pay attention to the rhyme scheme, you'll never catch on.

Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally. Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/22/l...

Separately, on Musk's email, a point I think is not being made enough is that federal payroll makes up less than 5% of US government spending. Federal workers are 1.4% of all workers, but they're responsible for how 25% of US GDP is spent. This has nothing to do with saving money

🚨 PRECEDENT: A group which would not identify themselves, which was seen passing out Christian religious & patriot flyers during the event, forcibly removed a woman from a Government session. The group failed to identify themself, carried zip ties and physically aggressed the woman, dragging her.

It’s been wild to see so many headlines about the firings at the Joint Chiefs of Staff and none of them explicitly saying “Trump fired the one Black person and the one woman so he could have an all white male Joint Chiefs”

"We're too sensitive. We need to purge wokeness from our movement" Bro you lose your shit and call everyone a woke scold if a minority explains to you why racism is bad. Rather than listen you got annoyed

it frustrates me how often trans women think our value is based on if we martyr ourselves. we don’t need anymore martyrs; the state takes too many of us as it is. what we need is more trans women who grow old. elderly matriarchs talking shit & drinking together on a porch as our grandkids play.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

What’s disheartening is that it’s done under the guise of Presidential orders. The reality is these companies just have an excuse to do what they really wanted in the first place. Smh

The thing about advance compliance that people need to learn is that whatever you do to placate these guys will never be enough. They'll keep adding new things that you must do because they now know you're a pushover, and at the end of the day, they are just bullies that get off to cruelty.

There is nothing about the officers being purged that suggests any particular political ideology or partisan affiliation, and that's why they're being purged. It's not about replacing "woke" liberals or Democrats. It's about replacing professional nonpartisan neutrals with MAGA-hatted lickspittles.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.
