Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Hi friends. I know it’s tough. The cruelty and injustice are painted in big flashing neon letters on a billboard in Times Square. Take a mindful breath. Feel the earth under your feet. Know you belong, wherever you are. Call if you need help. The world is better with you in it. Please share.

Happy #caturday friends! This is little Vrtti cat. He says the first rule of being a cat is do not obey in advance. He says this is also a good rule for people when dealing with authoritarians. Unless those authoritarians are cats. He insists you should obey cats. Wanna be tyrants? Not so much.

True story: when my older boys were little, they both got whooping cough even though they were vaccinated. It was bad. We asked the pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. They would’ve died, he said. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Do people not understand what’s happening with the Eric Adams thing? The memo instructing the prosecution to be dropped explicitly said it was because he was carrying out the president’s agenda. It was “you’re working for me, so we’re letting you go.” It was an explicitly corrupt bargain

Trump is a clown. A figurehead puppet controlled by oligarchs as they attempt to seize power and finalize a new society in which they transcend liberal democracy and claim total control. It’s time we understood that reality and fought back accordingly. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-mad-ki...

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

Saying "don't worry, they'll stop it, our scientific research is valuable and profitable and important to tuition-paying students" suggests you've misunderstood that it has been an ideological project all along. The humanities were all those things too! It was never just about profit and loss.

The republicans are gearing up to jettison rule of law and the judiciary outside of the Supreme Court. We are watching as democracy is not just dismantled but murdered in cold blood. This is directly out of the authoritarian playbook and if done will push americas trajectory towards conflict.
