Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

ICYMI: I’m leading a constitutional amendment to undo Citizens United. After an election where a billionaire bought a seat as Shadow President, we must ensure our democracy is truly of, by, and for the people — not corporations and billionaire donors. truthout.org/articles/jay...

Important to start admitting that we’re living under Schrodinger’s constitution—one that is not in effect whenever it constrains Republican powers, but is in effect whenever it can be used to stymie democrats or suppress opposition.

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

A year ago this would have probably been the most cynical, alarming confirmation vote in U.S. history. It’s only arguably among the worst three this year. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Here’s a good model for responding to this dipshit’s letters:

A former commander of an International Space Station mission counters Elon Musk’s misinformation about the current ISS mission. Musk lashes out and calls him “fully retarded” and an “idiot.”

Trump regime tweets this wordless video—nothing but the hum of an engine & the clanking of chains—comprised of closeup shots of a human being shackled for deportation. This is, no hyperbole, fascist fetish porn.

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

The last 8 years have seen the United States implement some of the most extreme right wing policies from abortion bans to border walls and migrant detention to a flagrantly, extreme right wing SCOTUS. If you think “leftists” have made the country “woke” then you are stupid and need new media sources

What Ilan Wurman and Randy Barnett are doing isn’t best understood as legal scholarship. It’s more like wartime public relations, or like SEO. It’s creating bullshit that will give dishonest judges a pretext to pretend that there is a serious constitutional dispute. They’re fascism’s fixers.

What we're witnessing is an ideologically motivated, but fairly indiscriminate and impetuous purge of virtually every facet of the US government. There is no remotely close precedent in the nation's history...and it's all being carried out under the banner of "conservatism."
