The U.S. administration is leaking like a sieve. It would only be prudent to start from the assumption that anything they learn, GRU learns too.

Here ya go, US citizens are now being detained trying to get back into the country. We tried to warn everyone that this would start happening.

"Remember, you need a lot of time to get through your entire atrocity to-do list. If you tank the economy once and quickly, people’s attention will surely return to your cruelty, no matter how effectively you’ve impoverished them. So take your time and do it right."

Feminism is not about marginalizing people we think don't deserve to be free - It is about embracing and fighting for all peoples across the planet against #PATRIARCHY Essay: The Role of a Feminist in a Time of Fascism, by @monaeltahawy.bsky.social www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-...

Clearly the resistance will have to aim wider than the Admin and its goons.

only the most free thinking business genius would try to undercut the market monopoly enjoyed by PhD candidates making $240,000+/year

there’s no reason not to do this. it’d probably end up with another kind of constitutional crisis, which is exactly why it should happen.

I know people joke about it, but it really is head-spinning just how much political turmoil & economic upheaval & suffering have resulted from people being mad they can't use racial slurs any more.

It's gonna suck here. They're gonna make this town awful and boring and poor. wtop.com/government/2...

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." We have to decide to be a free people.

Me, a dooming dummy: "Hmmm he keeps doing exactly what he says he will do, nobody is stopping him, and he suffers no consequences. I'm gravely concerned." You, an indefatigable optimist: "The military probably won't shoot us in the streets?"

fun fact, criminals and undocumented ppl also do not deserve to be disappeared into a foreign gulag

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

90% of those Donald Trump sent to a death camp in one of the poorest countries on Earth have NO CRIMINAL RECORD in the United States or anywhere else. So what distinguishes any of us from those poor souls now imprisoned for life in a disgusting gulag run by a sadistic dictator?

Trump calls on FCC chair to impose ‘maximum fines and punishment’ on Paramount’s CBS over 60 Minutes for telling the truth

Spoiler: Without the support of the US military, the Constitution is worthless.

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

#USA: For domestic violence victims in the US, call the National DV Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or TTY 1-800-787-3224

We're moving down the road to tyranny very quickly here

"If universities are not willing to stand up for the free speech and academic freedom of their students and faculty, then what, if any, values do they stand for?"

Do you know the difference between “$2 trillion” and “$150 billion”? About $2 trillion.

I hate this framing. Elon Musk and his dweeby DOGE bros illegally locked federal employees out of the most sensitive government systems and took them over. This is a coup and a heist. Accusing DOGE of being inefficient is like accusing bank robbers of irresponsibly handling people’s money.

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

“Instead of asking: ‘Do we all share the same worldview,’ [we might] ask: ‘Is your heart beating and do you plan to live? Then come this way and we will figure out the rest on the other side.’” www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

I encourage every academic who follows me to watch this. If Columbia University becomes a subsidiary of the Trump administration, it is no longer a university.

Pretty soon we're going to be passing around banned studies and books like samizdat in the Soviet Union

Oof. We’ve fallen so far, so fast.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

lol I can seriously only laugh at this ridiculous shit. Good luck running any kind of business in this environment abcnews.go.com/Politics/com...

"Brexit’s backers sold the project as a magic bullet that would solve the problems caused by a globalizing economy — not unlike Mr. Trump’s claims that tariffs would be a boon... In neither case, experts said, does such a panacea exist." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/w...

this is why doing work around intuition + symbolic literacy is an important component of resisting fascism if we aren't clocking the LIMITS of facts + the law at this point? Dream Workshop 👇🏻 www.whatashrinkthinks.com/dream-workshop Study Tarot Series 👇🏻 www.sheainthecatskills.com/study-tarot-...

Another congressional recess is here — in the middle of GOP efforts to craft a massively unpopular reconciliation bill that guts Medicaid and SNAP to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Help us turn up the heat on Republicans and mobilize the public against this heinous bill: indivisible.org/muskorus

#ICYMI: Staffers at 18 rape crisis centers told ProPublica that payments were delayed for months after North Carolina’s state legislature directed $15 million for sexual assault survivors away from Democratic-led agencies that had long overseen such money. By @dougbockclark.bsky.social

New CBS poll shows that 43% of Americans STRONGLY disapprove of Trump job as President. Only 28% Strongly approve. That is not a typo-only 28% strongly approve. When look at poll basically Trump is only above water with white men with a HS degree or less. www.cbsnews.com/news/poll-tr...
