It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I am still shocked at how little resistance congressional democrats are putting up. This piece lays out clear specific things they should be doing. Call your reps and demand they do so www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I think we should all do our patriotic duty and tell them what we’ve been up to for the past week.

Possibly the most antisemitic thing I’ve ever seen in public. Trying to erase huge swaths of American Jewish history.

Many concerns about the rush to AI, but this; “If AI takes work off our hands, is it likely that employers will then seek to fill our days with more meaningful tasks, or that they will instead take the opportunity to eliminate jobs and reduce their workforce when they can?” hbr.org/2025/02/im-a...

I'll say it again purging the highest ranks of the military and replacing them with retired loyalists is what you do directly before you deeploy the military against the domestic population and our allies abroad.

Gift link. A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone. And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration. If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

Again: I don’t think the primary goal of the anti-D.E.I. authoritarianism we’re seeing is re-segregation. It’s TOTAL human enslavement to corporations. Re-segregation is just a stop on that train. Explicit white supremacy and patriarchy are being used to make techno-fascism seductive to the masses.

I can only operate on the assumption that this could happen 500 times a day and journalists would still describe it as a 'controversial hand gesture' Media: you are actively and unforgivably helping murderous racists and violent bigots when you do this. Stop, we are begging you

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

After publishing this story, which features a picture of the protest at Children's National in DC, I have been informed that moments ago, Childrens National in DC has resumed transgender care. The hospital protests worked! Keep doing them!

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism. A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer. Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore. They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

It has come to our attention that some of the parasites who "work" for the federal government were actually in charge of our nuclear weapons. Our bad. We're trying to recruit them back to the office now. Let us know if you know where they are.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

I keep thinking of my (quite right wing) father, around the time of all the y2k hysteria, saying that he wasn’t worried that planes would be falling out of the sky. Well, now it seems like planes are falling out of the sky every other day.

i am 100% of the belief that simply forcing take-writers to answer the question "who specifically said this and why are they significant" would result in substantially fewer bad takes circulating in the world

Not sure why we’re assuming that gutting disability programs is an accident but I guarantee you this wasn’t a whoopsie of language use, it was a very intentional attack on the disabled.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

you'd think the premier organization representing the interests of american jews would stand up to an israeli govt that is endangering our welfare by collaborating with an openly fascist u.s. regime but instead they see their role as enforcing israel's will upon american jews

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

I know Stathis. He was a colleague of mine at the University of Chicago. He is a pretty buttoned-down scholar. For him to tweet this out is… something.
