Mahmoud Khalil's detention is more of a watershed moment than people realize. "Increase the reasons for revoking permanent residence (Green cards) for non-white people." And "Increase the reasons for imprisoning non-white people (criminalize protest, make resisting arrest a hate crime)"

I'm a broken record, but as usual Claudia Sheinbaum is teaching a political master class on Instagram. Instead of just celebrating International Women's Day, she dedicated it to indigenous and Afro-Mexican women, other minorities in Mexico. Always be pushing boundaries.

Their audience will eat it up. They will have their fires of outrage stoked. This is how they beat us, by feeding their audience a narrative, which in this case is that the little man disrespected Trump and is ungrateful.

I hope blue state Americans who are doing the "fuck red state voters, they asked for this" stuff understand that a lot of people in the rest of the world are saying that but about our entire country right now.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Those who yearn for the return of 18th and 19th century-style great power politics, where the strong do as they will, and the weak suffer what they must, would do well to recall how that world ultimately ended. In the trenches of the Somme and the gas chambers of Auschwitz.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men. Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

This is very cool! And yes, saying "Not everyone can afford to leave the country!" is a valid initial reaction. After that initial reaction, please consider sharing a link to mutual aid requests for folk that you have personally verified, but do this on your own timeline.

The reason eggs cost $4/dozen (CAD, $2.82 USD) in Canada, and are in plentiful supply, is because "US 'agribusiness' has 'no resemblance' to Canada's egg farms, which have an average of 25,000 laying hens per farm." US megafarms have millions (up to 6 million) laying hens.

I used to work IT for Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems on a contract. Military ATCALS is concerned by compliance with FAA. And it has to deal with state of the art aircraft that certified yesterday, and handbuit aircraft that are 100 years old. This will get people killed.

As the EOs and orders keep coming, I keep thinking of the exhibit in the Berlin Jewish Museum that displays the 962 anti-Jewish laws and policies in order as they came down. These kinds of drumbeats are designed not just to oppress but to normalize oppression. www.jmberlin.de/en/jmb-journ...

Every time transphobes talk about "gender affirming care," I'm going to remind folks that most gender affirming care surgery for children in the US, is for straight cis boys that accidentally gave themselves breasts trying to cheat at high school sports.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

Yes, watch this ⬇️ SO @vukusiciva.bsky.social for bringing this Croatian drama short to our attention. It can be incredibly hard to find Oscar nominated shorts. The other SO needs to go to @artefr.bsky.social. This film powerfully shows the 3 sides to every crime: perpetrator(a)/victims/witnesses.

Americans dont seem to realize that both internal and external comms from government agencies are regularly dictated by the White House. Civil servants are regularly told to say things that they personally object to. Their job is to follow those orders per the Administrative Procedures Act.
