Post a perfect album from the 90s

From the comrade card archives. “Grief is and will always be a reflection of our capacity to love, and it is our grief that will keep us human in these times, as fascism attempts to grow where solidarity belongs.” — Tanuja Devi Jagernauth

The case could be made that out of state developers have contributed greatly to Portland’s problems. 🙄

Indiana went 57% for Trump. They are represented 77 percent by Republicans in the house. And they want it to be 100 percent.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

I cannot express how important it is for anyone going through a secured checkpoint like TSA to make sure thier phone is in BFU (Before First Unlock) mode. To enter this state: reboot your phone and don't unlock it. In BFU mode all data is encrypted and your phone requires a passcode to unlock.

Today was a hard day. Regulations that we passed unanimously last year, after 7 years of advocacy, were largely gutted. The FCC capitulated to the correctional telecom industry in roughly doubling rate caps for prison and jail calls. I'm truly sorry. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/u...

In 1485, an old-school incel put a hot smart lady named Helena Scheuberin on trial for witchcraft. Helena lawyered up, won the trial, and the locals laughed the smarmy inquisitor out of town The lesson he took from that was “take away the right to a trial if you’re gonna accuse people of nonsense”

When the first amendment meets pepper spray to the face....

Pick one or two lanes and keep at it. You are one person and cannot do everything or take 10 actions a day.

Know your people, trust your people, take care of your people. In any disaster (fascism is a disaster), your community relationships matter.

I have an op-ed at @inquirer.com today. All of us who care about democracy need to decide how we'll respond as we see our institutions, our work, and our communities being attacked. Many of us in academia are standing up for our values and our students. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Stop asking billionaires questions, recording their answers and sharing their uninformed and/or racist and/or otherwise bigoted and nonsense ideas as journalism. It’s ridiculous. They are the most boring people. Oh wah I am a white man who has more money than I can spend and I’m so mad about it!

And the latest “heckuva job brownie” award goes to…

Usually I get annoyed by spending money on music things that don’t actually make music, but this road case I bought from Lucinda Williams for my beautiful bass makes me happy. Look how happy that bass is! See you in Ottawa, Georgia!

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

No prisoner in any prison anywhere (okay maybe in Norway) has ever been allowed to wear a hat or a plaid shirt. While this might be a positive development, this is weird

Update on Idaho teacher Sarah Inama who is holding firmly for her students, and for all of us. Who would have guessed classeroom posters saying “everyone is welcome here” would make a teacher or school liable for “punishment.” Perhaps we shoild have . . . www.ktvb.com/video/featur...

Great post on how well @mcbride.house.gov handled herself, how we need all kinds of tactics in the fight for trans rights, by a great sociologist and commentator @profc.bsky.social - who everyone should follow (and if you do I bet he'll post more!) trans-fusion.blogspot.com/2025/03/sara...

Elon Musk — the world’s richest man, who for the past two months has been dismantling or threatening to dismantle government services that help the less fortunate — is having a bad week, and Donald Trump feels sorry for him.

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants." In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

As Trump & Musk slash jobs and sharpen an axe for Medicaid, I'm recalling something Jason Stanley, the Yale fascism expert, told me this summer of a prospective second Trump term: "Some authoritarian states take care of their citizens. This won't be one like that."

They want to cut food and health care to more than 80 million Americans so that the richest of the rich can pay fewer taxes. If you had 81 people in a room, would you make 80 of them starve and prevent them from seeing the doctor so that one of them could buy a fourth house?

A fake video of President Trump sucking the toes of Elon Musk briefly appeared on monitors at the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the Department of Housing and Urban Development on Monday, according to department employees and others familiar with what transpired.

Today in CDC news: Alarming new data about bird flu, And… trump administration fires a ton of people at CDC, including half of the “disease detectives” who are on the front lines of pandemic response.

If you're a government employee receiving alarming memos, directives, enticements to quit etc, please contact me on Signal: Tim.415 [Happy to start off the record]
