Alarm bells should be ringing for all of us right now. Even more dangerously, news outlets are reporting on this with a bias that minimizes our erasure

AT THE DRAFT OFFICE IN 2063 Draft Officer: So, is there anything that would preclude you from service in the US Army? Me: I'm too gay to serve. I can't stop sucking dick. I'm transgender. Draft Officer: [Stamps MECH PILOT on my form]

No, fight them on every absurd thing, however symbolic. And I'm sorry, since when are morality and common sense determined by the majority?

A judge just blocked Elon Musk and co-president Donald Trump from firing the financial cops at the CFPB who protect consumers from Wall Street scams. There's power in fighting back.

You can tell this is a well-thought-out and detailed trade policy strategy because they keep rewriting it every couple of days.

The doctor who claimed MMR “causes autism” lost his license for falsifying data and also had developed a vaccine to compete with MMR, so he made it up to make money. Don’t come into my mentions with this shit.

"The American officials also signaled an openness to deploying U.S. troops to Ukraine to guard these minerals, if there is a deal with Russia to end the war in Ukraine." Reminiscent of Trump agreeing to retain US troops in Syria in order to "keep the oil" during his first term.

Had my say for @nybooks.com about the last couple weeks as the convergence of three overlapping political projects and asked about the endgame: a streamlined state, a shackled state, or a shattered state? www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

Worth repeating: The administration is unilaterally cancelling spending from programs that have been funded by Congress, in agency after agency. This is a direct violation of the Impoundment Act. Yet here we are.

Our research university leaders are totally failing us in the authoritarian moment. Not even trying to loudly & publicly defend the project of academia or the institutions. Just choosing a combination of “keep our heads down” & anticipatory compliance. Shamefully inadequate to the moment.

Last night, we broke the news that the top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its election security work and is reviewing everything it has done to help state and local officials secure their elections for the past eight years. https://wrd.cm/3QkfGh3

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.

Mostly, life under autocracy “is not frightening. It is stultifying. It’s boring. It feels like trying to see and breathe under water — because you are submerged in bad ideas, being discussed badly, being reflected in bad journalism and…” —@mashagessen.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/o...

Artful DOGE-ers: "DOGE has maintained a veil of secrecy, refusing to disclose the names of staff, what positions they hold or how much they are being paid. But The Post has reported that more than 30 people work closely for or with DOGE, about half of whom have ties to Musk or his companies."

This is a beautiful piece by @nathantankus.bsky.social on his late aunt, Freida Tankus, who co-founded Disabled in Action. It’s also timely as protections for those w/disabilities & around accessibility are being attacked and dismantled. Remember: if you (I) don’t act, there may be nobody to do so.
