After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

As with TikTok & so many other items that get politicized & turned into an #IngroupBias and/or #Projection by him & his team, the details tell a more complicated story. Yet, media & others tend to go with just the “now” telling of things.

Academics have been perfecting our skills at flighting fascism during faculty meetings.
Because it was written during active wartime, the book includes various suggestions for causing physical violence and destruction, such as starting fires, flooding warehouses, breaking tools, etc. But it also includes many suggestions for how to just generally be annoying within a bureaucracy or office setting. Simple sabotage ideas include: • "Insist on doing everything through 'channels.' Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions." • "Make 'speeches.' Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your 'points' by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate 'patriotic' comments." • "Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible." • "Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions." • "Misunderstand' orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders. Quibble over them when you can." • "In making work assignments, always sign out the unimportant jobs first. See that the important jobs are assigned to inefficient workers of poor machines." • "To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work."

NEW: the trans healthcare ban before the US Supreme Court rests on a group of doctors who have repeatedly been discredited and dismissed by judges as unqualified, inexperienced + biased “experts” spreading religious doctrine and misinformation.

Actually, Meghan, trans people have been using the bathroom for decades. In fact in 2016, the last time Republicans engaged in bathroom panic, people freaked out because trans men went into women's restrooms and suddenly, people discovered that there were way more trans people than they thought.

Had to explain to my 18 year old son this morning that Neil Armstrong didn't go to the moon himself, he had other astronauts with him. Aliens didn't take his picture on the moon, the other astronauts did.
