Although there is seems to be an innate risk, I think there are certain points of entry that are still ok. You clearly do not want to land in a red state (e.g. texas), but I landed in an empty Atlanta a few weeks ago and did not have any ‘bad’ feelings whatsoever.

This guy is the US version of Prigozhin. The only difference is that Trump hasn’t downed his private jet.

In this piece in the @nytimes.com, Dr Brand writes that she can’t”.. remember a case in the United States,” where the government demands receivership of a Uni department. This is probably because this only happens under authoritarian rule. ⚛️ www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

Equating all Russians to ‘barbarians’ is really sad @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social 60-80% of Russians abhor the ruling class. About as many Americans abhor the cavemen currently in power in the US. Let’s not start using ‘American cavemen’ when speaking about Americans in public discourse.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

How is this not the picture for an article covering the increasing open capitulation of the republican party to outright Nazism? This is not trolling the libs, this is white supremacy out in the open. @nytimes, you lost me on this one. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

@schumer.senate.gov , is there any plan at all to deal with any of this? What are you planning to do when Trump ignores injunctions and court orders?

If you see 🦔 roaming around after middle of December roughly sized as below: please help them to get to a animal sanctuary. They are supposed to hibernate, but this little girl doesn’t have enough fatty tissue to subsist on. She would have died. They need to weigh at least 600 grams (melon size).
