"The man in front of him was the biggest fraud he'd ever met. And he ADVERTISED it. He told them what he was, and they laughed and loved him for it. It [was] like meeting a man who'd devised a way to destroy civilizations." - from "Going Postal," by Terry Pratchett

Every headline that does not say “illegal” or “unconstitutional” is a failure to convey to the public the stakes of what is going on.

Great piece from @jameeljaffer.bsky.social on the costs to free speech that settlements with Trump are imposing on *all of us*: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/o...

Most Americans have no idea that Putin's army of disinformation agents stole the 2016 and 2024 elections by spreading lies about Democrats, to trick dumb people into voting for Nazis. Trump is Putin's sock puppet, and he just dismantled the FBI department that was supposed to protect us from Russia

I'll subscribe to a lot of criticisms, but the blind non-specific ageism against GenZ isn't doing a lot for the Democratic Party, and seems like a stupid line of attack when you should be talking specific experience. What are we even doing here. Have you seen the voting demographics recently.

Trump’s new Attorney General pick, Pam Bondi, received $115,000 USD a month lobbying for Qatar on "human trafficking". In 2016 she also accepted a $25,000 bribe ("donation") before deciding not to act on complaints filed against Trump.

#QUADCITIES FOLKS: if you need to get married ASAP because of the political situation, I’m a registered minister with the ULC & will absolutely officiate! LGBTQIA+ friendly! I’ve got two weddings under my belt! (What a great idea!!)

My faith demands compassion, empathy, and love, as Jesus consistently demonstrated in the Bible, never withholding any of these qualities (especially love) because of someone’s gender, sexuality, or nation of origin.

In 2024, 356 human rights defenders were murdered. The fascist United States, Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, and others are working around the clock to destroy the mechanisms of international and humanitarian law. These are the heroes killed in 2024. #NotATarget (📹@humoutcomes.bsky.social)

i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that *actual racism and discrimination* divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist

…Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’, believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’… - Terry Pratchett, Snuff

Medicaid is important; we must protect it:

Justice Department memos provided to me by a source in the US Attorney's Office. "These memo sent do not have signatures," source said, stressing how unusual that is for DOJ.

One of the many things MAGA Nazis have erased from American history books. Far-right MAGA billionaires don’t want you to know that Nazi Germany was ruled by far-right billionaires who killed anyone that supported socialism or communism.

The FBI is NOT investigating the alleged mishandling of Treasury data by Elon Musk's DOGE, senior intelligence official tells me.

🧵This is so gobsmackingly ignorant of both history & current events, & so deeply, deeply dehumanizing. A) No. Japan was a military powerhouse. Palestinians (note that I can't say "Palestine" bc ISRAEL HAS ENSURED THAT THERE IS NO PALESTINIAN STATE) have had a series of guerilla mvmts & militias.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

Wired’s coverage these last two weeks has been exceptional. Truly the best kind of reporting. A worthy place for your subscription dollars.

If the US limits support for internet freedom programs, it risks ceding ground to adversaries, including China and Russia, at a crucial time for the future of global internet governance. For @techpolicypress.bsky.social w @justinhendrix.bsky.social www.techpolicy.press/with-us-comm...

Today in "the kids are all right," not a single person in my class thought sleeping on the sidewalk as a homeless person should be treated as a crime, and they all thought that white-collar theft should be treated the same as other thefts.

Guess what?!?! Barnes & Noble is offering 25% off on my cookbook How to Eat Weed and Have a Good Time until Friday for their members. They have been super supportive of my cookbook since the very beginning so if you’re gonna support any big book seller I highly recommend Barnes & Noble.

the OTHER thing about the white house’s anti-diversity push is that like old fashioned segregation it is explicitly an effort to undermine unions! like c’mon! don’t be stupid!

Judge Amy Berman Jackson has formally dismissed the case of Jan. 6 defendant DJ Rodriguez, who drove a taser into the neck of MPD officer Michael Fanone and had been sentenced to 12 years in prison "Michael Fanone's heroism will never be moot," she says. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
