A king sending his troops to quell unruly Bostonians is a decision that always works out great for the king, historically speaking.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

Here comes the actual MAGA legislation, the oligarch enriching theft of America's shared wealth to enrich the few. The policies they hide and distort on FOX, Newsmax and right wing propaganda podcasts.

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.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s obsession with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

This is the correct response to a Nazi/Proud Boy/Patriot Front/White supremacist march in Boston or any city. Organize, find them, track them, gather in numbers, mock them - amplified if at all possible, film them slinking away in shame, and share the footage widely. www.reddit.com/r/boston/s/7...

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

Musk’s wealth and extremism can insulate him from caring about the consequences of his actions but his holdings also offer an attack surface. Protests, picketing and guerrilla art like projecting “Heil Tesla” on the German gigafactory can turn Tesla’s brand toxic and expose him to huge losses.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Wealthy elites know that tax cuts for the super-rich are extremely unpopular. It’s why they try to distract us with scapegoats like immigrants, trans people, and a catch-all like DEI. Don’t fall for it.

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

The most notable thing about this clip from the president's address to the governors is the way Maine Gov. Janet Mills stood up to Trump. And the second most notable thing is the absolute stone-faced silence from the other governors in the room. www.c-span.org/clip/white-h...

Station break: time to pay the bills. If you would like a science fiction narrative set in a hopeful far-future aftermath to tech bros and religious nuts taking off for space and leaving a blasted Earth behind to pick up the pieces, may I recommend my Jacob's Ladder and White Space books?

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

I want to say again to academics who are interested in public writing. Look locally. Sure national outlets are good and I do that too, but this kind of visibility in your community can have a real impact.
