Bravo this sign.

There is, as they say, a lot going on here.

David Brooks is Communist Manifesto posting, Harvard is antifascist now, Bill Kristol is a Bernie Bro now, SCOTUS is releasing emergency panic judgments, Frank fucking Luntz is in the NYT today extolling the virtues of empathy. The era of Finding Out is a trip

I contributed to a children’s Bible with The Bible for Normal People. While I often hold my co-religionists’ feet to the fire for their nonsense (and worse), I do my best to also make constructive contributions where I can. I’m proud of this and if it’s up your alley you can pre-order now.

🎯

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.

100% agree. Hold the line.

Again, the Secretary of State has no authority to “revoke” green cards.

Hey man they are literally secret policing political dissidents

Don’t die of ignorance. Don’t let your children die of ignorance. We have the facts. A Covid Reading List: show this to your friends and family. THREAD...

Thank goodness. A sane voice.

My thoughts are that Trump doesn’t care about midterms, and he certainly doesn’t give a flying fuck about the Republican Party. He got his get out of jail free card - that’s all he wanted. GOP Reps and Senators are already borderline panicking about midterms, if that makes you feel any better.

This picture says it all! Describes the budget passed by ALL Retrumplicans in the house , and ALL democrats rejected it , but passed by majority or TWO (2)! Raises debt ceiling $4 trillion Reduces taxes and deregulation for the rich $2 trillion Cuts essential programs for the poor $2 trillion

Every step of the way, they’ll have to show their cards. And every time, we’ll remind people they lied. We’re not done.

This fight isn’t over. 👀 The Senate and House still have to sort out their differences. 💰 Then comes the budget resolution with actual numbers. ✂️ And after that, the appropriations process, where they have to spell out exactly what they’re cutting.

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt 🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

Your job right now as an American is to figure out what you can do to sabotage this fascist/Nazi takeover.

“We are the federal law.” Never once did I imagine Judge Dredd would actually apply to my life. Also, “see you in court” is spot on. Well done, Gov of Maine.

Dear Canadian friends, as someone born and raised 15 minutes away from BC, I (and many other Americans I know) do not and will not support any of my gov’t’s hostility towards y’all. The US is on fire, but come what may, I am your friend and will act like it.

Bergen is nice

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Los Angeles peeps—spread the word about ICE. We won’t know for sure until it happens, but better safe than sorry. Be prepared.

Indeed.

After Friday we will begin review of applications! Spread the word that we are looking for a 1 year VAP in Judaism. Happy to answer any questions.

Again, I think it’s worthwhile to help out with these. Even one seat makes the GOP’s legislative agenda harder to deploy. I recommend phone banking—easy to get started and it helps to talk to folks and at this point the argument for why folks should vote is clear.

The Trump administration has just announced that all college financial aid programs, scholarships, prizes, housing, and graduation ceremonies that help Black or Latino students are now considered to be illegal. The Education Department accuses colleges of discriminating against white students.

Welp. Bad things continue

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Pass it along, great school, great colleagues.

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

Further confirmation that there is no enforcement mechanism for these orders. Musk and co. are going to keep going until someone physically stops them.

Yes, and yet. The danger is worse than this. In short, we are in a fast-moving coup using pretend-legal means. If we do not stop them, it is very likely US science will be ended. Along with US democracy. Start there: “It’s a coup.” More from us later today as well.

Even one of these seats would make GOP legislation all the harder. Worth it.

Masked agents knocking on doors, demanding that residents show IDs, and urging them to snitch on neighbors, while buses wait nearby to disappear people is full-fledged Nazi behavior.

Still can’t stop thinking about the binary nature of American elections, a few hundred thousand votes in three states all the distance between just normal stuff and armed officers keeping House reps out of the department of education and a guy named Big Balls canceling everyone’s Medicare

Be clear about what Trump and Musk’s aid axe will do: people will face terror and starve, many will die | Gordon Brown

Yep

Just a quick reminder Everything these idiots are doing is illegal The courts will catch up & they will be stopped Question is Why didn't democratic congressmen attend every rally in each of their respective states yesterday. Why didn't they promote those rallies. Future generations Want to know

The Resegregation of Higher Education in the United States

Dukes up I guess. We’re all in this together.

Been reposting a lot of folks’ thoughts lately. Trying to make material contributions to making things better how I can and not putting them on social media, but also yikes it’s getting scarier out there in this dying empire.

Really important thread

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?
