Kicking veterans out of their homes is a great look for the Trumpo administration.

He has reoriented federal programs around the primacy of whiteness, which is plain as day unless, as the author appears to, you have swallowed the lie that race is something only nonwhite people have

A good starting point for reporters, headline writers, and readers is to not take for granted the government's initial claims. Because they are probably not true.

Seeing @noaa.gov pushing propaganda valorizing deep sea mining makes me feel physically ill. Another one of our most essential scientific institutions decimated by fascism.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

Everyone says that Black Mirror is about how technology is bad, but every episode I've seen is actually about how people are bad and technology can't save us from that

I honestly can’t stop thinking about this RFK speech. A lot of the outrage around it is focused on pointing out that it’s not true. But so fucking what if it was? Do people whose bodies don’t work not deserve to exist in society? If all these things were true for a person are they less worthy?

I hate these people so much. I grew up with every book and show telling me to protect the environment, protect the planet, because we all live here. A universal truth. And somehow these people want to do the opposite, call themselves the good guys, and their constituents celebrate them.

The American economy isn’t built to think - it’s built to comply. Risk aversion is reshaping our politics, our education system, and our global standing. We’re raising a generation that’s optimized for survival, not innovation - and it’s costing us everything. kyla.substack.com/p/compliance...

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Not even 100 years ago. Middle of last century. I have a buddy in his early 80s who grew up in Iowa and he said that as a kid, "sometimes kids just died" from now preventable illnesses. His childhood was marked with the deaths of classmates.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Yesterday I watched Rick Steves' The Story of Fascism in Europe (made in 2018 but new to me). Anyway it's on Youtube and is super accessible and interesting. I learned a lot about Mussolini. BTW yes we are sliding into fascism right now www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU1I...

This ain’t The Apprentice—Trump can’t just fire Dems from federal labor boards like it’s reality TV. This is a huge win for democracy and workers’ rights.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Left-wing censorship was a fantasy, but the right-wing censorship is real, unconstitutional, and murderous. There was no majority anti-conservative social media bias or casual forced use of words like “birthing person.” But stripping protest rights and official language is actual deadly censorship
