It is time to stop defining "fascism" as "a thing that can never happen in America"
Trump’s Attack on Somali Americans Is Vile Fascism
He’s testing our country’s tolerance for ethnic persecution. And we’re failing the test.

Trump is now amplifying posts calling Members of Congress “traitors,” “communists,” and “domestic terrorists.” His amplification of “get all those traitorous sons of bitches” is an escalation that increases the real-world risk to the people he is targeting. This is how political violence is primed.

If you think women here can't be forced backwards...
These are women in Parliament in Iran in the mid-1970's.
Their decline feels familiar.
A reaction to women having too many rights.
A fear of what was happening to traditional family.
A desire for younger wives.
A closing of the fist.

Sixty-five years ago today, four first-graders desegregated New Orleans's public schools: Ruby Bridges at William Frantz Elementary School, and Leona Tate, Tessie Provost, and Gail Etienne at McDonogh 19 Elementary School. They faced violent mobs and threats to their lives. They were 6 years old. 🗃

This goes out to all the people who won’t shut up about optimism and what a great opportunity this is to “fix” science by gutting the training pipeline and eliminating peer review
I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff.
"Numbers released in May by the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicate that if Congress approves the cuts to the agency proposed by the White House, the number of early-career researchers it supports could fall by 78%" (@science.org)

Killing wolves to stop livestock attacks doesn't work. In fact, research suggests it could result in an increase in attacks. Killing wolves is counterproductive, cruel,and unsustainable. Non-lethal methods are more effective. #ProtectWolves #StandforWolves
