if you just scan the headline — or if you’re just uncurious — you’ll think this is a “trump bad” piece but if you read it you’ll find that it is my attempt to explain what makes something “anti-constitutional” and why that is distinct from an “unconstitutional” act.

I feel like I'm a scientist in a disaster movie who spent years trying to warn people of the impending disaster. Only nobody listened. And now that the disaster is upon us, the authorities are like "Yo, smarty-pants, what should we do about this here disaster?" And I'm like: "THE FUCK DO I KNOW?"

I’m sick to death of people saying we’re “descending” into fascism. The fascism is ALREADY here. THIS IS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE. And if you’re not feeling it, it’s probably because you’re one of the “good Germans.” @michaelharriot.bsky.social explains

Cancelling @joyannreid.bsky.social means the door she held open for the next generation of Black voices will slam shut. Without her, the next her, won't get platformed by white media. That, of course, is why white media pushed her out. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Seen on my news and academic feeds today: "This is highly illegal!" "Where are the courts?" "Someone needs to arrest him/them!" "The military needs to oust them!" "WHERE ARE THE DEMS?" This is the denial stage of grief. None of the above institutions are coming to save us. We are all we've got.

I spent too much time today going down the rabbit hole of which cosmetics and which Starbucks products are made in Canada. But lucky for me, buying Canadian shoes is easy. #FluevogLove

Trump doesn’t have the law on his side. What he has is power. Historically speaking, when the “rule of law” comes up against raw power and a dictator willing to use it, the rule of law always loses.

Going no contact with toxic family members. It was so hard to do because I was raised to VALUE family. But it’s been the biggest improvement in my mental health in a way I didn’t even expect.

I still can't wait to meet you: a medical or university leader who, while still in your role, is the first to openly acknowledge the error in thinking covid was not airborne and then brings in strong source control and clean indoor air measures to keep everyone safe. You are so brave.

Manmohan Singh and Jimmy Carter dying in the same week truly feels like the end of a political era on a global scale. I don’t believe I’ll see leaders of such intellect and integrity in office again during my lifetime, but I hope my grandchildren might…someday.
