This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

One of the more troubling things about the last month has been the level of alarm from scholars, scientists, journalists, economists, legal experts, technology experts while it seems like a pretty broad swath of the public is relatively unaware. Reminds me a lot of Jan/Feb 2020.

Nazi shit happens at CPAC every single year now. It's undeniable what that hive is. Anyone denying this shit still has their head so far up their own ass that they should never be taken seriously for any reason on any topic ever again because they're delusional.

This is a victory. It shows they aren’t immune from public opinion and that YOUR voice matters. This doesn’t bring back the full time employees who were fired without cause, but it’s a start. Keep fighting. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Here is a really interesting thread on 'practical drift', 'normalization of deviance' and 'slack'. Slack (and 'harvesting slack') is a very important consideration I think is under appreciated broadly including in our energy systems #energysky

No one wants to think democracy in the US could fall. But we are much more vulnerable to it with people in the military, DoD, Intelligence, and Justice who are loyal to the president instead of the US Constitution.

Well I was 15 minutes late because two performance reviews (1 receiving, 1 giving) went over time, and I made plenty of mistakes playing So objectively speaking, I don't think it went great. But given the circumstances, I think it went about as well as it could and I'm sincerely proud of that.

I tried so hard, and got so far. And in the end, I mean, it kinda mattered. Like, not as much as I expected, but I’m grateful for the experience, ya know.

So... is he going to start opening and reading mail? If this isn't stopped, I bet the next step from here is using and abusing the Comstock act.

This is significant in that deseret news is an official publication of the LDS church, and this is the first sign I've seen that church leadership intends to take a stance against the current GOP administration

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

Don't mind me, I'm just laughing my head off at the thought of [Red] demanding that [Purple] apologize for... showing up to the meeting on time, I guess? 😂

If you have a neighbor or friend who's out of work, consider giving them food (groceries, sharing meals, something else, whatever) and chatting. It's good for your soul, good for them, good for the community, and good for working against gestures vaguely y'know. All the BS.

Out of the 12,000 civil rights complaints the Education Department has put on hold since Trump took office: • 6,000 relate to mistreatment of disabled students • 1,000 are specific to sexual harassment/violence • 3,200 pertain to racial discrimination

A recording, as requested by @stacy.is.relentlessly.online. Didn't end up recording anything else, spent the rest of the time preparing for my audition (of which this will be a part). Enjoy the Christmas vibes!

Oh dear, tomorrow's the day I actually feel fine on the improv. I've tried out a thing or two and while it's not top quality, it's workable. At this point, I'm more concerned about how little time I've had to practice the assigned pieces. But hey, that just means they'll see actual conditions? 🤷‍♂️

This is apparently a response to one US Attorney resigning in protest rather than conduct a bogus prosecution for spending climate money from the Inflation Reduction Act. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

A lot of us are spiraling and wallowing and generally doing pretty cruddy. I'm not sure if the following is all correct but I'm going to give it a try. 1/n

This kind of stuff gives people the wrong idea of Utah Republicans. To be clear, Utah is in the process of finishing one of the most regressive and hateful legislative sessions since the Jim Crow era. Stop this.
