Feeling overwhelmed by trying to keep track of everything? We’re here to help. Let’s talk about the three big fights that are happening right now and how you can take action against President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump.

Timothy Snyder recaps what he heard at the Munich Security Conference about the new foreign policy strategy being pursued by the Trump administration. He calls it “affirmative action for dictators” (of Russia and China). [snyder.substack.com]

I've seen some wondering why a person married to a US citizen might not be documented. It took me 4 years & over $1500 to get residency-and I'm a 🇨🇦 married to a 🇺🇸. In my experience, it's incredibly hard for someone whose first language isn't English and can't spare the $$ to navigate this process.

👀 “[E]very mass social media platform in the United States has been taken over by the right wing, with the exception of @bsky.app” Strong email from @aoc.bsky.social putting all the pieces together.

I've become slightly obsessed with anachronyms; words that are used in an anachronistic way, by referring to something that was appropriate in a former time. E.g. to clock in, to film something, to hang up the phone, to dial a number. I've collected a list.

Here's the reality about the #LAFires this week: this isn't the first time ANY of these places have burned. Not even close. In 2018, we mapped CA fire history to look at fire frequency across SoCal. Santa Monica Mtns area burns more than anywhere else -- up to once per decade in a given spot. 🧵

i think opponents of trump also have to resist the temptation of intellectualizing his outbursts or attributing them to some recognizable goal. the fact is that trump is obsessed with greenland because it is big on a map. he wants canada because it is also big on a map. that's it.
