“nobody saw this coming” = “we considered everyone who saw this coming a nobody”

NEW: WIRED has identified six young men—all apparently between the ages of 19 and 24, according to public databases, their online presences, and other records—who have little to no government experience and are now playing critical roles in Musk’s DOGE project. By @telliotter.bsky.social

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

Worried about a fascist takeover? This sheet-pan paella will make you feel like you’re in 1930s Spain.

This isn’t the first time this racist and genocidal idea gets thrown around. Doesn’t matter if it’s Trump or a pro Israel Democrat saying it. It’s racist and genocidal. And for those still not getting it, Palestinians are our own people. Nothing will ever change that.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention has issued a “Red Flag Alert” for the United States: www.lemkininstitute.com/red-flag-ale...

Lemkin Institute is no joke for them to say this is very important. “Trans people, refugees, and migrants are not the threats. The billionaires with close ties to our new president who flash the Nazi salute and seek to replace the old elites with a new caste – that is the real threat to America.”

All the people who were shrugging and equivocating over Elon and whether he was aligning with Nazi, far-right forces should be launched into the sun. May they never be taken seriously again.

Comrade card for 1/24/2025. Happy Friday, friends.

The point of the firehose of Executive Orders is to disorient and to demobilize. It's to instill maximum fear. If we know this, then that's already half the battle. This means that we have to respond with focus on those most vulnerable & targets. It means we have to refuse their attempt to scare us.

@safety.bsky.app I am being followed by endless bots. They are all 18 and various forms of girlfriends with onlyfans and no refund policies. 🙄 I keep blocking and they keep sprouting like weeds. Tired of playing whack-a-bot. What are you all doing about this?

Aka toxic masculinity.

"I never gave up on you. I could see you were sending me little hints that you missed our time together: when you subscribed to Goop and started liking all those social media posts that were 'just asking questions' about vaccines."

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

There's a huge tension building within public health over collaboration: can we work with the Trump Administration, at whatever few points of overlap in mission exist, to make people healthier? What this misses is the visibility and transparency of that play to the public, and its impact on trust

UMass/Amherst (left) and Wesleyan University are both warning their international students to be on American soil before noon on Jan 20 -- Inauguration Day.

Please call your senator today and tell them to vote in support of a bill that will block $20 billion of our tax dollars to continue the genocide in Palestine. www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/tel...

One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents. Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.

Photos are circulating on social media, alongside reports that the Israeli army is rounding up and blindfolding Palestinian doctors, nurses, and patients outside a hospital in northern Gaza. Some of those detained are seen with catheter bags, nasogastric tubes, IV drips, and crutches.

This is the reality of life in north Gaza, which has been totally under siege for 40 days. I will share a few accounts from Palestinians there who need help and who have asked me to help share their stories with you. www.bbc.com/news/article...
