Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

DHS is abusing administrative subpoenas to target and silence its critics. @repespaillat.bsky.social and I will be introducing legislation that would make this practice illegal and help end these authoritarian abuses.

(The very obviously evil) RFK Jr / MAHA gang wreaking "havoc on the fragile business of vaccine development."

Sales of life-saving vaccines decline.

This will kill people (mostly children), have long-term consequences for research, strain healthcare systems, etc

Nonsensical and, yep, simply evil.

No, It’s Not Back to Business as Usual Marco Rubio was more civil than J. D. Vance had been, but the message to longtime allies was the same.

In Munich "I did not meet a single person of any nationality who thinks that the American-European relationship is returning to business as usual"

This should simply encourage more people to criticize ICE on social media.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

OK: I have a new favorite topic to teach in intro philosophy classes: lottocracy. Literally half my class followed me back to my office because they *couldn't stop talking about it.*

Lottocracy is the argument that elections don't work, and that the best way democracy is through lottery.

Anne Applebaum on Trump's betrayal of Europe "They’re bewildered we’ve allowed this to happen."

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." β€” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Defund Science, Distort Culture, Mock Education It’s not just about cuts to research. It’s about power.

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.
