I started talking about our life under competitive authoritarianism c.2017. Lots of folks on the Hellsite told me I was hysterically exaggerating. I’m appalled we’re here. But I’m glad to see the founding experts on competitive authoritarianism clearly explaining exactly where we are in 🇺🇸 in 2025.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Odds are good that someone in your life has received vital care at a university-affiliated hospital near you. Trump and Musk want to destroy them. Call your reps and demand they push back -- especially if they're Republicans. www.house.gov/representati...

We collectively haven’t been taking the plans laid out by Project 2025 seriously enough. They want to destroy NOAA so people won’t know that climate change is happening. It sounds stupid and alarmist if you haven’t been paying attention.

I’m running the London Marathon in April, raising money for UNICEF (even more important now, given Trump’s impending foreign aid cuts)! I’ll match the first 1,000 pounds ($1,300) donated, so if you donate early, your impact will be doubled. 100% of the proceeds go to the charity—all to help kids.

If Donald Trump wasn't such an insecure individual, flags would remain at half-staff today in honor of President Jimmy Carter, even though it's Inauguration Day. time.com/7207144/trum...

I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this which WAS NOT ZUCK.
