Dear Canadians and Greenlanders, Trump offered to give you "protection"! Aren't you excited with all-star protectors like Pete Hegseth, Michael Waltz, Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliff, and whoever has a Signal account? Oh, and don't forget Stephen Miller!!! That one's a keeper!

I would not be surprised to learn that the nuclear codes are being shared by Elon Musk via Zoom today. That is the level of absurdity we have reached. We used to be a proper country. #USPOL

Republican ho-humming about the SignalGate scandal tells you that they don't care if our enemies know our military plans and can therefore kill our soldiers. Republicans care only about their own money and power. That's it. Nothing else.

Between the unsecured bombing chats and eliminating FEMA and trafficking legal residents to foreign labor prisons and supermaxxing measles and halting cancer research, it’s so hard these days to guess how you’re gonna die

Hmmm, the argument I keep hearing about defuding USAID is that "we need the money here." Well, apparently not. Trump just wants hungry people to drop dead no matter where they are in the world. #econsky

250 years ago: "If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! It is in vain to extenuate the matter...I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" -- Patrick Henry

#nerdsky The thing I found most outlandish about the Skywalker trilogy was that they were fighting space Nazis with the same basic ideology of the space Nazis that they fought and defeated just a few decades before. But now it all makes sense.

#econsky Most reporting about the looming #trumpcession focuses on the #tariffs. However, we are also looking at large layoffs (the largest ever if they have their way). Canceling government contracts will also have impacts on private sector layoffs.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

I hope this means #ucberkeley and the UC system is ready to fight. I am a proud alumna of Berkeley and UCSD. I hope all alumni will stand for academic freedom and student free speech. #academicsky #freespeech

This is what is happening at the best public university in the nation. Foreign students are in fear. Academic freedom is at stake. Students' rights to free assembly at our stake. These are the institutions that actually make america great. #academicsky #ucberkeley sfstandard.com/2025/03/21/i...

I am a UC Berkeley and UCSD graduate. The assault on academic and student freedom is right out of the dictators' playbook. This is another way Trump is making this country less competitive. #ucsystem #ucberkeley #ucsd

WTF. This is insane. For so many seniors, there would be no money for food, rent, or prescriptions without their Social Security check. Howard Lutnick says if they complain about missing a check, they're a fraudster.

a really difficult thing that explains a very large part of the reason we're in the situation we're in is that the average person has a monumentally difficult time accepting and internalizing that these people are doing awful and destructive things because they like being awful and destructive

It's easy to shut down agencies with no real domestic constituency like VoA or USAID. Trump has picked his targets well so far. My fervent hope is that Dept. of Ed orders will truly galvanize the public against this DOGE tomfoolery. open.substack.com/pub/ninavmer...
