ICYMI last night a court blocked Elon Musk’s hacker bros from accessing your personal info at the Treasury Dept. 18 AGs and I brought that lawsuit. We’re not stopping until your personal data is safe, the hackers are out of our government, and Musk obeys American law.

This is why I love Severance so much. Season 1 just beautifully captures the ridiculousness and toxicity of the workplace experience

The GOP is signaling major cuts to Medicaid are coming. Recent studies have shown cuts to Medicaid have a big consequence that gets typically ignored: crime increases. boltsmag.org/medicaid-cov...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This type of micromanagement is what all toxic leaders use to bully and abuse their employees.

i absolutely believe this is where we are headed. this has always been the playbook. sartre wrote in 1945 that they delight in their own bad faith. in 2017, andrew anglin made it the official editorial policy for his nazi blog. it’s always “just a joke,” but the punchline is actual violence.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

🧵 If I'm going to get hate mail over it, I'll do this thread over w/o typos: Bluntly, I'm hearing from Hill offices that messages sent via resistbot tend to be heavily discounted. Calling is a more impactful way of communicating with Members and Senators. So if you can call, call. 🧵

Seems to me that this is exactly correct – and exactly consistent with MLK’s 1967 comments re “unregenerate segregationists who have declared that democracy is not worth having if it involves equality.”

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

Two Nazi salutes at CPAC and one at the inauguration. So. When we say they're Nazis, it's not actually debatable.

I had a pretty maximalist view of how bad things were going to get, but even I did not expect "normalizing the seig heil" to be one of the bullet points.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.
