i don't know how to prove this in an academic sense but I've always believed a major reason the U.S. survived the first age of fascism is that we'd created Hollywood a little earlier and all our most charming narcissists had something better to do than politics

I am now hearing from multiple folks in the past two hours (including some who have personally been fired) that mass firings have now commenced within NOAA--including, yes, at the National Weather Service.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

Illinois respects the sovereignty and borders of Ukraine — now and always.  Three years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine without warning or provocation. Peace and freedom requires resistance to tyranny and oppression.   Slava Ukraini!

Do me a favor and compliment someone today. Tell an artist/creator or whoever that the thing they made is cool. This year has started off unimaginably horrible, and it's probably not going to get better anytime soon. Spread a bit of love. Make someone's day. We all need that now more than ever.

the point of this is that it is stupid as fuck. and every Republican will still vote for it. the rank stupidity is a flex, an exultation of their absolute power over the party.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Wars end, dictatorships end. We have a future. Everything you do or don't do matters. Choose faith, hope, collective power. Do whatever you can, where you are, with whatever you have. You matter and together our voices will make a difference.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 charges but won't face any punishment — and will be back in the White House this month. Nearly 800 prisoners are now helping to battle Los Angeles fires, making as little as $5.80 per day. A tale of two justice systems.

I feel like in the last few weeks I have seen so many people say stuff like this. I think there is a consumer awakening to how bad things have got. We're at a breaking point. www.wheresyoured.at/never-forgiv...
