Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan Can’t Happen If US Military Members Resist It Trump plans to use the military to enact the mass deportation of immigrants. As a veteran, I know orders can be refused.

"Israeli draft resisters are refusing conscription and deployment to...Gaza...the only reasonable response is to say “no.” Everyone who lives in the U.S. has a responsibility to help ensure that soldiers know that saying “no” to their commanding officers is an option." truthout.org/articles/tru...

How the GOP’s Trans Panic Has Shades of Putin’s Anti-LGBTQ+ Playbook When it comes to trans rights, will Democrats be the willing handmaidens of the hard right?

You can't run on warnings of creeping authoritarianism and then bend yourself toward authoritarianism by embracing the GOP's trans panic. Wrote about this for @vanityfair.com: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/h...

Can the Muskrat shut the United States government? Sure looks that way. The richest person in the world has turned his wealth into raw power. That's what oligarchy looks like.

Not everyone got a full education on the real history of MLK and sometimes it's boiled down to the I HAVE A DREAM speech.

Y'all know I moonlight as a school librarian, right?

Trade paperback collections of THE EXPANSE: DRAGON TOOTH

All three volumes of #TheExpanse DRAGON TOOTH are out now! The adventure continues for the crew of the gunship Rocinante, years after the epochal events of the Hugo Award-winning TV show.

Spot on.

Half the country lives in a dystopian fantasy world fed to them by right-wing media and reinforced on a daily basis. And I don't think there's any way to get the vast majority of those people back to a shared reality. They're simply gone.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

The Untold Story of Marie Curie’s Network of Female Scientists Marie Curie is well known for her chemistry achievements but less so for helping other women succeed in science

Marie Curie didn't necessarily aim to hire women in her lab, but she didn't have anything AGAINST women, and so ended up creating a network of more than 45 women trainees who changed (and are still changing) the course of science. By @clarakm.bsky.social with Dava Sobel on her new book 🧪

The struggle is real. Not looking forward to this debacle.

I yet again feel so foolish that I have such deeply-held faith that people are basically good and care about each other.

And yet that faith remains unshakeable, just tempered by frustration at people being generally terrible at understanding consequences. 🫠

This sounds so cool...

It’s time to channel my inner Major Kira.

On this day in 1960, Ruby Bridges became the first Black American to attend a white elementary school in the South.

A visual reminder of what she faced every day.
