The video of Israel using silenced weapons to murder the 15 aid workers who are clearly in ambulances. These are blatant War Crimes, Israel must be sanctioned and all aid cut off to them now.

Thank you very much! And when you've recovered, wind down with THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP, which I wrote so that we remember what we still have, and fight for it -- and for each other

The gap between the self-image that MAGA has of themselves as tough macho he-men and their constant pants-pissing fear of every goddamn thing in the world is bigger than the Grand Canyon

again: the goal is to collapse the economy. Whatever they say is secondary. Trump basically made that point himself today with the video he shared, because he can't help himself and has no filter. You have to focus on what they do not what they say.

Russia's daily strikes on peaceful Ukrainian cities are pure terror. These strikes have no military objectives whatsoever. Killing children on a playground is a war crime and terrorism on the part of Russia; it cannot be seen in any other way. Putin is an international criminal and a terrorist⤵️

George HW Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Clinton (D) got us out. George W Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Obama (D) got us out. Trump (R) got us mired in a recession. Biden (D) got us out. Trump (R) is yet again ushering us into a recession. Starting to notice a trend?

I blame George W. Bush. He softened America up to the idea that we could have someone stupid in the White House and things would still function.

The Lithuanian president showed up to honor dead American soldiers as their remains departed his country. The American president did not show up to receive their remains as they arrived in the US. He had a golf tournament to get to.

Claiming that vaccination is an issue of “personal choice” — as HHS Secretary Kennedy often does — disregards the fact that choosing not to get vaccinated strips other people of their personal choice to stay healthy or live a normal life. My latest: weaponizedspaces.substack.com/p/no-vaccina...

The constitution originally protected white, male, landowners over the rights of others. I believe we are in a new phase in which it now protects corporations (predominantly owned by white males) over others. A way to protect privilege & continue to concentrate rights for the few. Case in point:

Hi, Bluesky! Allow me to (re)introduce myself by sharing the cover of my forthcoming book, Shakespeare in Tongues, which will be published by Routledge in the Spotlight on Shakespeare series next year. Many thanks to artist Fausto Fernandez for permission to use his gorgeous collage!

I think we have to confront the fact that tens of millions of Americans have pledged slavish allegiance to a man who says explicitly that his benchmark for when America was great is 1913. And then we have to think about the possibility that we are in the throes of a nationwide mental health crisis.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

On April 3, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his haunting “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech in Memphis. He spoke of justice, unity, and facing death. The next day, he was assassinated. It wasn’t just a speech, it was a prophecy. #StayCurious #Skystorians #DiveIntoDiscovery

“They want you to eat the bugs and be happy” Sure hits different now that they are doing fascist “year zero” out in the open. I hope people come to realize that the right uses conspiracy theory to prepare their own base for what they are going to do in the future to everyone.

We're not just a system of leaders. We're a system of participants in every level of society & culture. It’s easy to get millions of people to point the finger at a single politician & say: YOU need to change. It’s very difficult to get the same people to hold up a mirror & say: I need to change.
