I’m worried that many Americans have no idea what democracy even means, why it’s important, how it relates to our nation’s history, which is barely taught to begin with. Dems should be running civic workshops and teach-ins to explain, wild as it seems, why democracy is better than a dictatorship.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

I understand that their goal is to harm a lot of marginalized people. We each need to do what we can to protect the vulnerable. I really get this and ALSO I just need as many people as possible who are able to do so to notice that these people are pathetic. They truly are. Just ridiculous.

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

My takeaway from this is that people's politics are often incoherent and contradictory. It's why I find polling people about politics is generally not useful. This person is upset at Tr*ump but sees RFK as a "bright spot" and considered herself a Democrat. There are millions of ppl like this.

While I'm at it and it's early, I'll also say that FAFO discourse doesn't feel good to me at all. I think that the people who will find out the most are the same people who are always finding out: the most marginalized. I also think that it destroys potential solidarity and solidarity is needed now.

repeating myself a bit here but trump can issue an executive order but that doesn’t necessarily mean shit if it doesn’t have a firm statutory basis. if congress lays out in law what the duties of a particular official are, then no, the president can’t decide those duties are something else

Elon Musk retweeted a conspiracy theory about white people being ethnically cleansed from South Africa, a lie spread by white nationalists. Not only that, the person he RTed said this is the “human rights cause of our lifetimes.” You shouldn’t need a salute to know that this man is a Nazi.

just everytime they say "anti-DEI" or "anti-CRT" or "anti-woke" say "can you clarify, you mean anti-Black?" cause seriously, that's what they mean it's genuinely baffling watch them alternate words that have no meaning except "Black"

I think some people, including on campuses, are unwilling to confess what's happening. They thought the HR version of DEI was silly. So they've railed against it at times. So they feel awkward speaking up. But Trump isn't ending DEi. He's overseeing the full scale resegregation of American society.

When people say stuff like this, what they're actually saying is that you're not allowed to question their false belief. They'd never say, for instance, "The public believes crime is high, so we shouldn't inquire further lest we contradict them." It's just, in this case, the false belief is THEIRS.

It’s OK to admit that we’re off the map of our experience. The rules & best practices some of us are accustomed to, in certain situations, may no longer apply. There are some questions I lovingly refuse to answer at this time bc I don’t know. We need more humility. Some of our expertise is outdated.
