Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

We are better than this own-goal dystopia, which disgracefully services POTUS’s and Stephen Miller’s racist, vengeful fever dreams and provides NOTHING kind, moral, or society-building. 🇺🇸

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:
My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.
Huh? When did I say that?!

The math of DOGE was never remotely feasible and I personally think it's embarrassing we let musk pretend to be an engineer
On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up. But is still led to cuts that closed offices, canceled programs and deprived people of food, medicine and other aid.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Most Americans don’t fully grasp what is the most powerful animating force in my former political party: white Christian nationalism. It’s real, and, bcuz Trump is an empty vessel, it’s a movement that uses him to grow in power & influence. And it’s growing. I hear it every day from Trump voters.👇

And the governor of Texas is actively promoting this despicable, century-old race-baiting propaganda to upcoming new voters because he’s actively encouraging TP USA chapters in Texas high schools. Wake up USA.
Received this in a remarkable fundraising email from Turning Point PAC exec director Tyler Bowyer:
“Ilhan Omar, possibly the WORST person in Congress, wasn't elected by Americans.
She was elected by Somalis living in Minnesota.”

Well, this is an utter disaster for science.
This gutting of peer review is very likely driven by Project 2025/OMB/Vought, very likely is about funding junk science, and very likely is coming for #NIH and biomedical research next.

One of the most disturbing things about the U.S. government getting themselves into the anti-vaccine game is that it is a time-release poison pill.
It will take a few years before the worst of the harm is visible to enough people that they will truly understand what has been done to them.

this is a fundamental principle of self-governance, in the end. the constitution is not in heaven. the constitution is not hidden away in some vault somewhere and tended to by nine priests in black robes. the constitution is in all of us, or it is nowhere.
It's largely lost today because we've allowed constitutional law to become the exclusive preserve of lawyers, but the original idea of written constitutionalism was partly one of public education, publicity, & (proto-)democracy—people should be able to read & come to know the law which binds them
The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.
