Making art - and experiencing art made by others - is a form of resistance to the soul-crushing onslaught of authoritarianism.

Thinking I should memorize this quote from @anneapplebaum.bsky.social Autocracy, Inc, ready to recite verbatim when confronted with cynicism or passivity (my own or others!)
This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.
I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

This show is one of the best things on TV. The evolutionary biologist Shane C. Campbell-Staton is an incredible educator in the way he uses this show to explore the Human Footprint. Give this guy a MacArthur, already!

Had no idea about this – a quick search tells me that my own state of Maryland has gotten some good results in recent years on this. Focusing on what can be accomplished at the state level is so important - always, but especially now.
This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.
There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.
And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

Unfortunately, there are far too many horrific moment-defining pictures happening every day. But this is indeed one of them.
I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Yes, it’s real (recorded by Netflix in March for their new series “Famous Last Words - she knew it wouldn’t be released until after her death). Deep gratitude and more than a few tears for the great Dr. Jane Goodall.

Felt good to cancel Disney/Hulu - and to tell them why - this isn't just about one comedian, but about a pattern of behavior that endangers America and our values.

This is what flies by amid the horrors: $10m of waste, denial of lifesaving aid (contraceptives ARE lifesaving in multiple ways), and lying that they’re abortifacient which paves the way to undermine *all* contraceptive availability.
Red flag in this wasteful move: a USAID spox falsely claimed that birth control pills, IUDs, and arm implants cause abortions.
“The administration will no longer supply abortifacient birth control under the guise of foreign aid.” 🚩🚩🚩

Millions of dollars worth of contraceptives destined for low-income countries were destroyed at the direction of the Trump administration.
