A month after Trump’s inauguration, the honeymoon is over; some of his backers are waking up next to the man they voted for and wondering if they’ve made a terrible mistake. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

Just did it. Even small acts of defiance are necessary.

I love it. Satire is one of the best ways to beat fascism.

Finally! This is how you fight! Senator Brian Schatz says he’s putting a "blanket hold" on all of Trump’s State Department nominees until USAID is back up and running. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Happy Black History Month!

I kept going not because I wanted to… Trust me, all of me wanted to stop. I kept going because I deserved to know what not giving up on myself felt like. by Renaada Williams

NBC, The New York Times, NPR and POLITICO have been booted from their offices at the Pentagon and are being replaced by such news luminaries as OANN and the New York Post.

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.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

"There is good news: Regular citizens are the ones best suited to strengthen our democracy."

A radicalized Trump voter was the one who tried to assassinate him. Radicalized Trump voters attacked the Capitol. A radicalized Trump voter blew up his Cybertruck in front of a Trump hotel. The GOP is playing with fire. They created this monster and they think they can tame it. Good luck.

"If the U.S. withdraws from the World Health Organization, it will lose yet another battle in an ideological war most Americans don’t even know they are fighting." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Epic courage here.

You can argue that Elon Musk isn't a neo-Nazi, though all the evidence points in the opposite direction, including his open embrace of the German neo-Nazi party AfD and the antisemitic Great Replacement Theory. What you cannot claim is that he didn't know exactly what he was doing with this salute.

Finally, there's some good news today! www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-bi...

This is devastating to everyone but the 1%.

This makes me so sad. He was a unique filmmaker.

I wish it was satire, but it’s not. Pathetic.

A fantastic and quite unsettling read.

The Neil Gaiman thing is utterly appalling and deeply disturbing.

ATTN: THREAD: The loyalty interviews have begun in DC. As someone who has direct experience with this, I have a couple of recommendations for all federal workers. Please share this widely, and with any federal government employee you know. 1/

Sounds exciting!

Europe’s largest pension fund sold its entire €571 million ($585 million) stake in Tesla Inc. in the third quarter partly due to disagreement with Elon Musk’s remuneration package. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Remember the accusation that Harris was being fed questions by another network? Always projection with Trump.

We could have had a decent human being for a president...

Important but sobering read from @eurasiagroup.net on the top risks for 2025. #TopRisks2025 eurasiagroup.net/TopRisks2025

Is it a coincidence they have all donated the exact same amount?
