I'm just genuinely shocked that so many people in positions of power -- people who could take a stand, make a difference, and be remembered for it -- have no interest in being on the right side of history.

If you still need to share a link to a tweet, but don't want to send people to Musk's cesspool - replace "x" with "xcancel" in the tweet link.

For example x.com/dril/status/...

becomes xcancel.com/dril/status/...

People will still see the tweet, but without going to Twitter.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

DOGE/Musk preferentially cancelled grants and contracts to recipients in counties that voted for Harris in 2024.

Among cancellations with election data available, 92.9% and 86.1% cancelled grants and contracts went to Harris counties, representing 96.6% and 92.4% of total dollar amounts.
FYI FWIW: Not a demand per se, but TSA just quickly and casually scanned my face (while scanning my license) for a domestic flight without any explanation. I wasn’t even looking directly at the “camera” and they didn’t seem to care.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

By the time I was 4, my mother was taking me to picket lines, boycotting grapes with @ufw.bsky.social to fight against the exploitation of farm workers outside a Safeway in Menlo Park. I learned to spell “¡Viva la raza!” before I could properly tie my shoes.

I found myself wondering today: if Woody Guthrie had been a baseball player, would he have written the same thing on his bat as he did on his guitar?

Trans women are women.
Trans men are men.
Nonbinary people are nonbinary.
Agender people are agender.
Genderfluid people are genderfluid.

Your gender(s), or lack thereof, is valid. You're valid. And no government can take it away from you.
Thank you for your generosity of insight and inspiration.

@prisonculture.bsky.social's directive to “be an agent rather than a pundit” hits uncomfortably close to home. How much of my activism has been doing versus commenting? How often have I substituted analysis for action?

There is no way to understate what is happening in America – a sinister alliance between a demagogue, the world’s richest man, and right-wing activists is remaking the federal government.
It Keeps Getting Worse—and No One Is Safe
Donald Trump and Elon Musk aren’t just inflicting pain on poor people abroad or imagined “enemies within.” Their parade of cruelty is coming for MAGA country too.

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education.

I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”.

Here is a portion:
Clarifying, empowering, motivational, and practical.

What powerful, concise messaging.

“We’re all Lloyd Dobler now, sitting awkwardly at the dinner table of late-stage capitalism, trying to articulate why everything feels wrong while everyone else passes the mashed potatoes (and/or gas and/or their pipe of choice).”

My latest in Dispatches from the Dome …
There’s a moment in "Say Anything" — the film that launched a thousand boombox memes — when Lloyd Dobler delivers his raw, stumbling manifesto at a dinner table surrounded by Reagan-era American Dream adherents with their beige personalities and off-the-shelf politics …
