As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

Me trying to explain fascism to students: "A lot has to do with fear of supposedly stable gendered boundaries blurring, and how that maps onto racial and national hierarchies. But can I really say transphobia is the lodestone to fascism?" Aleksandr Dugin: "Ukrainians are collective transgenders."

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Horrifying. Disappearing and targeting students with legal status over peaceful political speech is unconstitutional and a clear violation of due process and free speech. Another blatant act of authoritarianism by the Trump Administration. Rumeysa must be released.

That Kristi Noem video with the detainees is so upsetting and the fact any sizable fraction, let alone a majority, of our society would endorse it is evidence of a deep rot in our entire culture. Like until you answer what fuels the appetite for that kind of thing it will only get worse

So we’ve got two competing schools of what the Democratic Party should do next. One of them is hosting the largest political rallies in history in places like New Hampshire and Arizona, and the other one just got $120 million from Silicon Valley and is on a book tour.

If you want something useful to do as a cis person, this is pretty easy and straightforward. Leave comments about how wrong this is, why, and how it's alienating you as a "normal voter."
