Albany, NY #HandsOFF

I somehow missed this when first published. Evangelicals love Putin because he hates America as much as they do. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/08/o...

This is 23 years old? It could have been written yesterday! www.angryflower.com/348.html

The casual rise of eugenics and breathless, credulous declarations of innate superiority of some people over others even among self-styled centrists is one of the creepiest and most alarming trends I’ve seen in a while.

"We should not resist calling this for what it is—a deep animus toward anything that detracts from a white-centered view of American history."

On this day in 1913, the famous Armory Show opened in NYC, popularizing modern art in the US. Our review predicted the art on display "a monstrous aberration." t.co/xc6TGzH35P

The Vice President is seconding Elon Musk’s call to rehire the 25-year-old who resigned over some e̶u̶g̶e̶n̶i̶c̶ ̵a̶n̶d̶ ̵r̶a̶c̶i̶s̶t̶ "stupid social media activity" he posted when he was a “kid” ... two months ago.

Marko Elez is outed. Taking bets now. What are the odds that Musk’s other barely post-pubescent “efficiency experts” are eugenics-loving racist f-ers?

Surprise. Surprise. Surprise.

It’s eugenics all the way down. Amanda Marcotte’s Salon article includes a long take-down of the extremely creepy natalist ideology of Simone and Malcolm Collins. @amandamarcotte

Inspired by Omar Wason, who two days ago called eugenics the ‘Rosetta Stone for so much of Trump’s agenda,’ I wrote this support piece. @owasow.bsky.social #eugenics

Eugenics is the Rosetta Stone for so much of Trump’s agenda. Watch youtu.be/vmRb-0v5xfI?...

Just published: if it quacks like a eugenicist #tescreal #pronatalism #eugenics #marcandreessen

Elon Musk is a monster that is going to get people killed around the world.

Yesterday and today #USAID

“What started as a purge of the security services accelerated Friday into a full-blown coup, as technical units aligned w/ oligarch Elon Musk moved to seize key systems at Treasury, block outside access to personnel records, & take offline comms networks.”

Wednesday’s White House ‘Newspeak’ executive order, “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling,” is a tragic replay of last century’s “re-whitening” of American history by capitulating textbook authors and publishers. textbookhistory.org/textbook-rec...

The frontline fighters in the battle for decency and democracy aren't military leaders or elected reps, but elementary school teachers and food pantry workers. How f'd is that?

A Republican Senator’s complaint that the U.S. Air Force used “malicious compliance” with one of Trump’s orders is a diversion, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily. "Trump’s wave of executive orders is designed to be performatively malicious."

What are they giving themselves permission to do? That’s the key question to ask when dealing with the radical forces that are in charge on the Right. For guys like Vought, the answer is: Whatever it takes, regardless of how extreme. There is no line he won’t cross, no restraining principle.

FNYS is monitoring this funding freeze closely. Approx. 1/3 of the food we distribute comes from TEFAP, a federal program that provides emergency food assistance. Freezing this program, even temporarily, will cause hardship to NYers & all Americans impacted by food insecurity. tinyurl.com/55udrsu9
