To protect my identity in these dangerous times, I’ve removed my photo from my pfp.

I don’t watch horror movies. The news is plenty horrifying.

Am terrified that 40% of the value of the S&P 500 is made up of companies over-invested in AI. When that bubble bursts it’ll be heard round the world…

Did you know they place some dumb ball game in stadiums when Beyoncé isn’t on tour?

🚨There goes the last of Governor Pritzker’s fucks. 🪦
He took that threat of being arrested to heart… and the people of Chicago are marching in the streets because the Chicago mayor and their governor have their backs. ✊🏼

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

This is a Rutgers historian of anti-fascists movements. Recently targeted by Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point outpost at Rutgers. This smells not good…

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law that will require streaming advertisements to have the same audio level as the shows they interrupt.

Starting in July, the volume level of ads on streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max must match that of the content.

Expect other states to follow.

Every day is a slew of the worst local news imaginable, from every part of the city. But folks are jumping in to protect and warn each other. Businesses across the city, and right outside my door are explicitly denying service to ICE. We are at least together in this.

Soooo many cops are closet fascists and klan members. So many!

When the nazis were coming into power, there was a lag before local law enforcement was fully on board. People were able to get police protection from nazi-aligned paramilitaries. Here, today, police look at rising fascism and say “Finally. We’ve been waiting for this.” www.notus.org/democrats/me...

Democrats' New Fear: They Can’t Rely on Local Law Enforcement for Protection

“They called the local sheriff; they showed up and were going to arrest me,” said Rep. Steven Horsford.

If you're not eating B&J Cherry Garcia at 3am over the kitchen counter, you're probably also not following the news...
