Meanwhile, up the street…

My Cassandra doppelgänger articulates the situation clearly. Passover must-read #NaomiKlien The rise of end times fascism

The Trump administration has cut funding and programs for HIV research, treatment, and prevention so deeply that “we’re watching the field burn to the ground,” one researcher told Katherine J. Wu.

Typical abusive behavior: Cause harm + relieve the pain+ repeat = Victim is trained to see perpetrator only as savior. #tariffs

Protests show that people are paying attention. Protests show that people aren’t going to go along with things. Protests matter.

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre

The NYT is seconding Jim Surowiecki's analysis of the White House math (such as it is). www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/b...

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

The guy is a one man global pandemic, but a 44% tariff on Myanmar right now is soulless even for him. #tariffs

Keep talking about Signalgate. Do not let them push it out of the news.

US program Disaster Assistance Response Teams, or DARTs, can no longer respond to Myanmar or other crises due to the Trump administration’s dismantling of the USAID, nine sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on condition of anonymity due to fear of retribution. #MyanmarEarthquake

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

Advisory on traveling while trans to the US. Here we go…

Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers. First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts. Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…

NEW VIDEO: With democracy on the docket, the big question is whether the courts are equipped to handle Donald Trump. George Conway and I discuss. You will want to watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tb6...

I think we’re already there.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.

Things are going great with #NetwokStates so far

WTF. Trans people and LGBTQ+ people are under attack. We don’t need our gov caving to conservative talking points that further hurt and scapegoat 1% of the population www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

Palantir urgent warning from inside @anneapplebaum.bsky.social @muellershewrote.bsky.social @mollyjongfast.bsky.social @karaswisher.bsky.social @joeneguse.bsky.social

Kennedy’s Health and Human Services Department plans to eliminate public participation in the agency’s policy decisions – a proposal that explicitly flouts a promise of “radical transparency”. The agency directs $3tn+ in healthcare & insures 140+ million people. #medicare #medicaid #CDC #FDA #NIH

I think it's best to avoid all travel to the USA for a while.

And also to so miss the point that this attack on us is about constructing norms of sex and power that will affect everyone. The positioning of “trans issues” here ranks among the worst Times offenses and that is saying a lot.

Do not allow truth and reality along with trans people, to be erased. (Since this article came out, incarcerated trans people are being prepared to be switched to prisons of their gender assigned at birth. This is extremely dangerous and illegal).
