The mental leaps, the logical pretzels, the sheer effort that some people in the media are going to have to come up with to avoid naming the most obvious fucking reason in the universe all this stuff is happening

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

Kash Patel is likely the most unqualified person ever confirmed to lead the FBI. The agency was built to go after the bad guys—Chicago bootleggers, gangsters, the mafia, and foreign threats. Under Patel, it’ll be turned into a weapon for revenge to go after Trump’s enemies instead. A total disgrace.

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you a king. Consuming massive quantities of the spice melange and allowing the sandtrout to cover your spice-saturated body and blend with your form, and eventually transforming almost completely into a sandworm, water your only weakness, is how you become king

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Gazing at skeletons choking on a crust of bread, feeling trapped like a butterfly in a spider's web, and holding court in the shadows of despair—that’s how you become king.

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Shooting out a television in the Jungle Room of Graceland with an illegal handgun makes you a king.

the most dishonorable and malevolent elected official in my lifetime including Trump, frankly, because he understood exactly what he was doing and what the consequences would be

Elon Musk, the South African-born billionaire overseeing President Trump’s massive and haphazard effort to hack down government overspending, is among the largest beneficiaries of federal government support ever. His empire was built on it. www.forbes.com/sites/alanoh...

Just had a spirited discussion with my 10 year old about the mentality of school shooters and how there are very little hiding spaces in a classroom. But by all means, tell me how explaining that Josh has two moms is too difficult.

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

they don't know what to do because they think winning elections is their job. if they had substantive ideals that they fought for, and winning elections was merely an instrument for achieving those ends, they'd know exactly what to do. they don't even realize this is a problem.

Imagine being a liberal who has completely swallowed the far right’s version of “peaceful protest/transition“ history where all the rights and privileges people literally fought and died for were actually just handed over without forcing the issue.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.
