New in PN: The "cognitively irresponsibility" presidency "Cognitive irresponsibility is a giveaway that a leader is an authoritarian ... they don’t want to have to persuade the nation. They want to make a policy, and when we ask why, they say, 'Because I said so.'"

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Remember, ‘the power’ they have, is only for as long as we continue to give it to them… So, it’s looks like it may be time to end their power, as they have proven to be unworthy of our trust, time and time again. WHO AGREES?! 🤚 Do. Not. Obey. Ever. ✨

Fun one from today that nobody seems to be clocking amidst all the more substantive chaos. The White House comms department is now declaring that Trump can now "sign [an] executive order into law" without a bill passing Congress. Have never seen this language from a prior White House.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

That Meta/Facebook/Threads/Instagram/ has said that hate speech rules that still apply to others don’t apply to LGBTQ content a few days after Joel Kaplan took over as head of Global Affairs is not only a measure of Zuckerberg’s dank soul, it is a clear indicator of what is to come from GOP.

As someone who spent years reporting on Zuckerberg, I've struggled to find something coherent to say about today. Then @cwarzel.bsky.social reminded me of my old reporting. This is what a FB employee said to me in 2020 after Zuckerberg addressed workers following FB-enabled violence in Kenosha, WI.

Stansbury: Let’s take the argument to its logical extension that this is about making sure we have qualified individuals inside the federal government. My question is then why is the president-elect choosing absolutely unqualified cabinet secretaries to be at the head of every single agency?

That a right-wing lawyer just suggested before the Supreme Court that Americans don't have a right to not conform is... a real mask-off moment in a way I suspect is not going to get enough attention.

I’m on a mission to get people thinking critically. I am sure, if everyone asked these questions, America wouldn’t be in this position. It’s simple, direct and anyone can do it. We have to stop existing and start questioning what is being done to us and our country. Isn’t our country worth it?

Don’t let GOP sell you on their hate, lies, & vicious attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community! The fabricated issue of who can use restrooms and play sports, is just a way to discriminate based on gender identity, similar to how drinking fountains & restrooms were used to segregate based on race!

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!
