The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

This is our future if we don’t ban together and stop Trump.

Protecting American Energy From State Overreach By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose.

In case you missed it, Trump also signed an executive order today directing the AG to go after state and local climate policies. Potentially bigger deal than coal order, imo…

Evidently tariffs have already taken their toll on imported wigs because it looks like he went to Goodwill for this one.

We're watching an incredibly rapid state collapse--faster than pretty much any except those involving tanks in the streets--in real time. I say this as a person who's been in places with tanks in the streets. And as one who reads enough to know that the first lie of fascism is inevitability.

Trump has shown a clear pattern of freeing white criminals while imprisoning or deporting non-white people who have not been charged with crimes. We'd call this racist, but that would upset right-wing birthers who don't read our paper, so we'll call this "an unusual pattern."

BREAKING: Foreign-born leader comes to Oval Office, dressed down in a disrespectful manner, having already received billions from America, asking for American taxpayers to keep paying him more billions, subsidizing him for years to come:

Voice of America Journalists Face Investigations for Comments About Trump The broadcaster placed a longtime journalist on leave amid growing concerns about its editorial independence.

Another alarming indicator of eroding free speech culture as well as editorial independence at VOA.

A longtime reporter is on leave and under investigation, called “treasonous” by a rep for the administration.

RFK Jr.’s Mental Health Bait and Switch The newly anointed HHS secretary is weaponizing legitimate anger at the failures of current psychiatric care to gut public services, abandon poor and disabled people, and expand the police state.

This essay out today is the first to name and describe "fascist anti-psychiatry"––a self-contradictory conjunction born of Trump and RFK Jr's cynical opportunism rather than any principled or coherent ideology.

Terrific piece. Thank you

Normal people: I can't believe a child has died from a previously eradicated disease.

The Wellness Company, which monetizes anti-vax rhetoric to sell supplements: go Bobby go!

My only criticism of George Orwell’s 1984 is that it wasn’t titled 2025.

“I’m not into politics.”

Well your grandmama’s house is about to get imminent domain’d into the junkyard so your favorite sports team can expand their parking lot. Maybe turn on the news, bitch.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long.

They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

A heartfelt thank you to former Senators Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema for repeatedly blocking popular policies to preserve “norms” and protect “the rights of the minority”

We couldn’t have gotten here without you

Same. Read that this morning and was wowing (in a bad way)

Abebooks.com is a great site

I’m going to keep hitting this until they figure it out, because they are it…the Democrats are THE ONLY political opposition. They had three months to prepare for these acts. And they seem surprised and flat footed.

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing
