Thinking about Black History Month and Trump's attacks on universities and any honest discussion of history, oppression, or anti-Blackness (and so much more). Relatedly, I'm also thinking about Avery Brooks in the DS9 episode Far Beyond the Stars.

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Teamsters, the same union that wanted PII for members to vote for who the union should endorse. The same union that ended up not endorsing anyone when even after that the vote went for Harris. Step aside, O'Brien. Make room for real worker leadership.

The day after people across the United States took to the streets for No Kings Day, Trump signed an executive order consolidating executive power. He wants to seize direct control over independent agencies that were designed to operate outside of presidential influence to prevent authoritarian rule.

On congestion pricing, the correct framing isn't that the Trump admin killed it, it's that the Trump admin announced that they're going to TRY to kill it. This is going to court, and there's no guarantee Trump is going to win there.

GOP: "The Revolutionary War was fought against King George, whose taxes hampered freedom. Not against kings." Democrats: "Just because he's wearing a robe and a crown doesn't mean he meant this literally. Everybody calm down and send us twenty dollars" newspapers: "What did he mean by 'king'?"

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats. The rise of authoritarianism in America must be understood as a misinformation crisis.

These are the kinds of stories about the human costs of the Trump-Musk coup that desperately need telling right now. Local news outlets and independent journalists can do a lot of important work here, for their own communities but also for the national effort to push back against this insanity.

A teacher emailed me & said "My scientist didn't reply to me. My scientists ALWAYS reply to me! What the heck!". I was like "Well. Science is kinda crumbling. Friends/colleagues are losing their jobs or at least funding, & some are being told to cease all outside communications". She hadn't heard.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.
