We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Does ICE now meet the criteria to be considered a secret police force, like the Gestapo? Political science says yes. open.substack.com/pub/virginia...

I will always pause to remember the sacrifices of Allied troops with deep gratitude. As far-right ideologies surge in Western democracies today, their immense bravery is more poignant than ever.

I lived in Russia briefly in 2010. I don’t think people realize how corrupt that society is, from the Kremlin to the average morality of an ordinary citizen. When the highest person in office is corrupt, this gives a permission structure for EVERY single person in society to do bad things. 🧵

Today is Yom HaShoah Day, commemorating the Holocaust. It was chosen because it marks when the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto began in 1943. Take time to reflect & consider the authoritarian climate we are in now. History does repeat. (Ht @malena.bsky.social ) mjhnyc.org/events/yom-h...

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Dear Wisconsin, Elon Musk is buying another election. This time it’s a seat on your state Supreme Court. If we are ever going to defeat the oligarchy, it starts with rejecting their self-serving agenda at the ballot box. Get out there and vote. Elbows up.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Judge William Alsup described the mass firings as a “sham” strategy by the government’s central human resources office to sidestep legal requirements for reducing the federal workforce. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is calling for judges to be impeached.
