Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants. History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well. 🧵

I am once again asking for a mini-series of David Rose’s three day stay with the Amish.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

@schumer.senate.gov argument is that Trump is a better messenger than the Dems are so the only option is to join them. The only way Dems will ever be given power again is if the current bunch is replaced by those who will truly represent the people.

This is NOT okay and requires a response. If this is not met with mass protest and public outrage, it could be you next. Plain clothed officers with no warrant detaining a green card holder for political protest should send chills down everyone’s spine.

I feel like this is how we are watching our decent further into fascism…. It’s just weird.

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @repricklarsen.bsky.social We need protest. Decorum will not work on someone who is shameless and lawless. We know what the state of our union is…almost dead from being gutted. He does not respect your coequal branch so don’t respect his.

US folks, tune into @pbsnews.bsky.social in the 6 pm hour to hear me talking about misogyny, violent extremism, prevention & our new @perilresearch.bsky.social & @splcenter.org guide to preventing gender- & sexuality- based bigotry, available here: perilresearch.com/division/gen...

Neoliberal capitalism has so thoroughly ruined us that many are turning to violence or authoritarianism to cure their feeling of powerlessness Changing things for the better depends on harnessing those feelings and using them for something constructive jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/somebody-d...

Forgive me if this is petty but the next account I’d like to surpass here on Bluesky is CNN. They helped normalize Trump at every turn and did nothing to help tell the truth about Kamala. Time to show them what we think. Can you RT this and follow us if you haven’t. 💙🙏

As a palate cleanser this evening, here is Indy the goldendoodle fast asleep between the couch cushions.

Arendt has so many insights that are so spot on today.

I know the Southern Poverty Law Center has a good, basic handbook for parents on understanding extremism online and how to keep your kids from getting sucked in, but that alone isn’t enough. I’d like to assemble resources. What ‘chu got? (Please repost for visibility/circulation 🙏🏽)

US-based academics will be increasingly asked to participate in activities that normalize the far right. The normalization will be enforced by university administrators, who themselves will be surveilled and intimidated by the far right. 🧵

@mxscottkernest.bsky.social We need to add @radicalreports.bsky.social and @reportbywilson.bsky.social to the started pack. Excellent work being done.
