Hollywood Bowl N3 #phish #pick5 Free Prince Caspian Hey Stranger Steam Show of Life

@phish.com @trey.com @mike-gordon.com @pagemcconnell.com a few Hollywood Bowl ideas: Life on Mars Don’t You Want To Go Crimes of the Mind Of course, Antelope (or Roll Like a Cantaloupe) is welcome at every show!

If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, the courts are unlikely to stop him. We wish there was some institution — businesses, media, law firms, universities, anything — that would save us. As with so much in this era, it will fall to the people to protect the republic.

Auschwitz was not in Germany

This is really cool. Go science!

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

I mean I know there's a lot going on, but you'd think this might be bigger news. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

BUT HER EMAILS…

This is sad, and I’m sure there are tons of similar stories that aren’t getting any attention. It’s easy to jump to “I never thought the leopards would eat my face”, but I think it’s more productive to persuade folks like this join the opposition to this admin.

Not sure if I should laugh or cry. Maybe both🤯

Just to spell this out: you, too, are not breaking the law. Versions of this could happen to any of us.

It’s been 7 weeks. Where do you think this ends? How do you think this realistically plays out 2-3 years from now? What happens when they run out of targets? When will you become the next target?

Seems a bit concerning…😳🤯

This is why complying in advance never works; when they’re done with one group, yours might be next

1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

They don’t care about us at all; they just want the rich to get richer.

American fascism

This is an excellent, and very important, read.

"Antisemitism in the Oval Office: A confrontation seen with a historian's eye" snyder.substack.com/p/antisemiti...

was going to thread this article I wrote today but @bettycjung.bsky.social has done it for me! so here you go :-)

Nothing authoritarian happening here at all…😳 www.reuters.com/world/us/jud...

Take a moment to read this short thread. Absolutely nails it!

Stand with trans Americans. You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous. www.thebulwark.com/p/stand-with...

Stand with trans Americans 👊🏼✌🏼💜

Stephen Miller's legal group alleged in 2023 that NASCAR participated in the “ongoing, deliberate, and illegal discrimination against white, male Americans.” Now, similar complaints will be a priority at the gov't agency for combatting employment discrimination. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you ever wondered what it was like to be alive in Germany in 1933 when Hitler came to power, began to consolidate power, threatened democratic nations and sided with other dangerous right wing leaders, now you know.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Very interesting…

Yes he is 🤣👊🏼✌🏼💜

Excellent read

Extremism experts say a now-familiar playbook to scapegoat transgender people in the wake of high-profile tragedies is part of a political strategy to sow division and expand authoritarian control.

A cornerstone of oppression is suppression. If people don’t understand the system they exist in, they’re far less likely to rage against it. Exploitation is easier when the exploited don’t fight back.
