Whatever else happens in the days ahead it's important to understand that tonight, here and now, Elon Musk ate a spectacular amount of shit. Humiliating. Face completely full of shit. Caked on his face, seeping into his pores, a kabuki mask of feces leaking into his mouth. He ate so much shit here

This has been empirically demonstrated many times! You can’t expect men to have a place of domination and superiority over women in the home and treat women as equals outside of it.

Those who seek to dominate require their victims to resist (and have their resistance overcome) to complete the drama of their own power. So submission does not actually appease the autocrats: They will make greater and greater demands until they either extract resistance or destroy their target.

The crisis is less “is Elon Musk the president” — whatever — than the reality that the United States functionally has no one in the role. Trump heads a syndicate of plunderers inside the institutional remnants of the U.S. government — but has in no sense carried out the duties of his office.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

The way to understand the hysteria over "woke" is through the lens of Ignazio Silone's famous description of fascism as "a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place." Reactionary forces always begin by conjuring a looming leftist threat. threadreaderapp.com/thread/16865...

“I wanted to get a better understanding of what is normal and what is abnormal about these past three weeks" maybe I have gone soft but this college senior on why they went to this teach-in stopped me in my tracks

I'm not a legal scholar, but the Wurman/Barnett op-ed reveals a pathology I see in certain segments of academic philosophy as well - a prioritization of intellectual gamesmanship, of who can make the "cleverest" arguments using sources in bizarre ways, totally forgetting about real people's lives.

“Tyrants always fear art because tyrants want to mystify while art tends to clarify. The good artist is a vehicle of truth.” —Iris Murdoch. Resistance includes art and pleasure and finding ways to support what is life giving, too.

An excellent question. Where are the Fortune 500 & Wall Street CEOs? Where are the university presidents? Where are the civil society leaders? Not just speaking out specifically in defense of their institutions & democracy, but also about 🇺🇸's global interests? The silence is deafening & shameful.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

A constitutional crisis requires friction to make it legible. That often comes from conflict between the branches of government, but a Republican-controlled Congress and SCOTUS are not interested in challenging Trump’s lawlessness. That why it’s especially important for Democrats to act.

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Concentration camps preceded extermination camps by several years. They began in Germany just as administratively, just as innocuously, as this. It's important to understand the historical track we are on.

There's a lot of reasons, but one in particular is about hierarchies. Trans people threaten the "correct" and "natural" placement of men and women and that's deeply threatening to a lot of people.

Boy, these last eight days feel like a good reminder why democracies generally avoid letting people who attempt a coup come back to power….

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

As rural Americans lose access, mass access to higher education crumbles. They are the canary in the coal mine warning us of systemic collapse. We are facing a future where only the wealthy get a true education and the rest of us don't.

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this: Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women www.propublica.org/article/geor...
