The right is spending literally billions on multi-front attacks on privacy and information security of all movement work. In terms of the willingness of progressive philanthropy to spend to counter it, we’re being asked to put out a wildfire with a garden hose.

All of this bcs we haven’t figured out a way as a society to teach boys how to deal with their emotions instead of being the broken wrecking balls that are Trump, Musk, Hegseth and their ilk

Yes. News organizations must stand up for the First Amendment, for the ability to serve as an essential press on power, and to show power what it cannot get away with. We must be pro-democracy. apnews.com/article/ap-l...

If the SAVE Act is signed into law, active duty service members and married women would not be able to vote because the verbiage of the bill does not accept name change forms, marriage licenses, military IDs, or even RealIDs (which everyone in Louisiana had to get). Tribal IDs wouldnt count either

Cybersecurity professionals are literally calling DOGE a major national security incident. Making our systems more vulnerable is the point. There’s likely back doors embedded all sorts of places 🫣 foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/11/d...

Israel’s genocide in Gaza has destroyed over 1,000 miles of water and sanitation infrastructure in Gaza and reduced the region’s water capacity to a small fraction of what it was prior to the genocide.

Something to note. The Proud Boys are at the Capitol today and Trump wore a yellow tie. Black and yellow are proud boy colors. It's very clear that he views them as his personal militia that will mete out political violence. "stand back and stand by."

Abortion funds are buckling under the weight of need. Meanwhile no one can say what Big Repro is doing with their millions. It’s just infuriating on every level. I’m feeling particularly salty about of all of this for specific reasons.

Was curious how this compared to other models. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek (note, that one was truncated because of screenshot capacity).

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

If you don't know who McCune Smith is, you should. He was one of the most significant abolitionists in US history. As well known as Frederick Douglass when he died. The first Black American to receive a medical degree. He had to go to Scotland for that cuz Columbia [Kings College] refused admittance

BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian. This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.

This is, btw, right out of the Nazi playbook to dehumanize people and give them a permission structure to hate.

As corporations abandon diversity initiatives, we must push for autonomy & self-determination, writes @williamcson.bsky.social in his latest column. Considering the limits of DEI & multicultural consumerism, let’s not pull up chairs at dinner parties that need to be destroyed.

One thing that's been very revealing is how many politicians valorized working-class and middle-class workers, unless those folks work for the federal government. The cheering of the purging of regular people who have had their entire financial lives upended has been something to see.
