It’s forgotten now but conservatives were showing up to events wearing hoodies and carrying skittles to mock a dead child after his murder made the news.

If you’re a federal worker looking for a good accomplishment to share with Elon, tell him you responded to texts from the mother of your children.

It is insanely obvious that Elon Musk is illegally exercising the powers of a principal officer of the United States in violation of the appointments clause

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

I have some thoughts on what Department of Defense veterans and generals facing firing for nothing they did could do with their knowledge and expertise, now that they're freed up. And some say it might be the most fun use of those skills ever devised. And it involves the guys who fired them.

One of the most clarifying moments for me regarding how utterly, hopelessly divorced this country was from its own true nature and history came in 2008 when I listened in disbelief to educated adults argue aloud that the election of one (1) Black president meant we were in a post-racial America.

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

Over the past month I have been getting asked a lot of questions about how we should approach this political moment. This is the response I came up with. @rupturepress.bsky.social @itsgoingdown.org.web.brid.gy www.rupturepress.org/blog/a-call-...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Repealing Section 230 with an autocrat in power will not hold tech accountable, it will suppress speech and force platforms to silence users who say things the regime doesn’t like.

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Three things that make the U.S. the envy of the world: 1) Professionalized military with strong norm of civilian control 2) Higher education and cutting-edge scientific research 3) Ability to welcome immigrants and attract the “best and the brightest” All three are under threat.

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

I don't know what to tell higher education. You can't both be "committed to democracy and intellectual freedom" and bending to the whims of authoritarians to "preemptively avoid fall out." At that point, you're just selling a mission you have no intention or capability of delivering on.
