5% of the whole state turned out for this, including me. Probably more if you consider that folks had their phones on speaker for other people in the home.

Bottom line- you morally can’t ask teachers to erase history, and that is what the Trump administration is doing. Learn from history, don’t erase it. So.. educators are fighting back. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

The thing is people really want others to regret standing against a genocide and that’s never going to happen. You’ll never get moral absolution. You’ll either recognize your mistake or you’ll spend the rest of your life struggling with the cognitive dissonance of what you were willing to accept

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Probably the most thankless thing (among many) I am doing in my life right now is trying to get an expansion to our town’s flood hazard bylaws passed to include the 500 year floodplain & river corridors. I’m talking individual conversations with so many people, some of whom are not based in reality.

All other horrible things about the past month aside (lol), it’s been pretty depressing realizing how many people are cowards without any sense of values, and seemingly no community to hold them accountable to any.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

this fucking faux-serious, take him literally but not seriously, what’s the harm in discussing it, just asking questions shit over the last three decades isn’t the only reason musk is about to destroy social security and trump wants to seize gaza, but it is very definitely a large part of the story

Lucky enough to have seen No Other Land today, a film that demands action of us once we have been moved by it. This is all a marathon and I believe that these deeply entrenched evil institutions will fall. They have to.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.
